Kate,
I am 68, not too fit, and i managed the SJPDP route. Yes, it is tough, but you are walking on roads, good paths, etc, and yes, some rocky and difficult downhills, but from your description you will do just fine. My strategy was to depart early, go slowly, take rests, drink Aquarius water...
Hello to my new “elder”friends! I too am 68 and feeling happy/terrified. I will depart sjpp on sept 6 or 7 and i am sure we will meet along the way. My advice...read through the posts here as much as possible...they are a wealth of very useful information. And take it easy and enjoy! See you...
Hello Micah,
I will be arriving madrid on 9/5/18 and bus/train to sjpp and hope to begin the walk on 9/6 or 9/7. Maybe we will stumble across each other along the way?
Jackie
Yes! I am a member of the class of 2018, planning my first camino walk from sjdd to santiago beginning on or around sept 1. I am from massachusetts usa and spending my weekends walking around our snowy community to begin my training early.
