As you can tell by the thread as many opinions as there are days in the year. We will be walking early May, let the chips fall where they May. Oh and there are 4 holidays in May for the French - enjoy and maybe see you in the path.
Hard to answer...we have delayed our plans twice and we are now scheduled (in our heads) to start walking April 2022 Geneva to Le Puys , Le Puys to SJPP.

Le Puy to SJPP = 751
So close to 1100...by my math

Hi IT56ny

Hi Alwyn - my dad and grandfather were named Alwyn
I'm staring in Cluny France walking south down thru Le Puys to SJPP - approx 1200km
Starting mid April finishing early June - 45 days walking, plus 5 rest days
What's your route?

Hope I can do it when I'm 78 - damn that's impressive!
