Hi all,
I'm about to buy my plane ticket and am having last minute jitters about my timing . I will start walking on July 5 and need to be in Santiago for August 7. that gives me 33 days to walk. My sense is that that is quite a reasonable length of time to take. I am fairly confident about my fitness level but just don't want to feel rushed. I also have to be back in Ottawa by the 10th so I can't really take any longer.
Any input?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer, I only use a gide book to see where the albergue's are and what the distance is between the towns and villages. You will be fine with the 33 days you have.Hi all,

You can feel rushed at almost any itinerary if you let yourself!just don't want to feel rushed.
But you may never do it if you don't go now!Remember this may be the only Camino you will ever do.
Correct!But you may never do it if you don't go now!
My advice would be to wait until you have more time. There is a lot to see and do and the longer it takes you, the more you will enjoy it. Remember this may be the only Camino you will ever do.

Good for you.And... plane tickets have been purchased!!!! Yeah!!!!
Thanks for this!I walked from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago in 33 days last year. There were some long days and some shorter days but no rest days, though I found I didn't want to stop. I did take a 20 km bus ride from Astorga to Rabinal to give myself a bit more room in the schedule as I found 30km+ days where not comfortable, although certainly doable. I'm glad you are just going ahead and doing it. Give yourself permission to experience whatever happens and not to "have to" do anything and then you'll be great. There will be pain, tiredness, laughter, frustration, questioning, relationships, good days and not as good days. All of it! Go for it!
Walked the camino frances in 2012 using the Brierley guide book,took 31 days to Santiago pushed ahead some days and slowed down on others ,starting on June 26 this year and built in a few more days to hopefully reach finisterre ,enjoy every day and soak the experience up like a sponge Buen Camino.Thanks for this!
We made it in 31 days from Pamplona with a 30 pound, 14 month old baby and a woman over 60. We do walk every day at home, but still, I think that should be a good sign that 33 should be enough for most people from SJPDPHi all,
