    Thanks so much for asking! My Le Puy camino got cancelled for 2015, but I am now shooting for June 1 2016. On a different note, I have a hurt knee that is responding well to the doctor's prescribed treatment so I'm actually starting all of my self-imposed camino stretching now in order to be...

    What causes people to stop their caminos?

    Very sensible plan. Yes, I suspect that just walking won't be enough training for me. I, too, plan on bringing trekking sandals. My feet, which are troublesome in everyday life, are probably my biggest concern. I suspect I might have more rest days than most pilgrims. Chocolate milk, does...
