Pablo in Sydney here and I start woalking on 28 or 29/9/2007 (I haven't decided yet) Way too close.

Thanks to all replys and PMs I will take your advice, start slow, cover ground where you can and look to the meseta for some flat ground.
Easy ....Laugh probably more of a groan.

Hello all,
I forgot to ask in my previous message.
Should I contact SJPDP before I go or do I "register" when I get there.
I plan to have 1 day in SJPDP to rest before I start walking. Will it be OK to just roll up and register etc on the spot?
Thanks in Advance
