Dear all,
I am planning my first camino in August (tell me about the heat but it will be the only time I have off work to do this). I have roughly 20-22 days to walk, so I have planned to start from Palencia, which seems to be a reasonably big town and have good traffic network. I have never been to this part of Spain, so I am a little unsure of my decisions, especially I am planning to do this all alone. (if anyone happens to be at the same place/stage around the same time, do let me know!) Is this a feasible idea in terms of the duration and starting point? I would be extremely grateful for any advice or comments.
By the way, I am 28 and reasonably fit. I won't have time to do any proper walking training prior to the camino, so understandably, I will have to take it easy on the first few days, say 20km per day?
Thank you,
Josh
