A man with a plan

The flight is booked!!
Biarritz on April 23rd and then start walking the following day...

Originally I was going to walk sjpdp-santiago but I've been considering Pamplona-Muxia instead. Is this a way of chickening out of sjpdp- Roncesvalles? Yes, yes it is.. but in my defence, I have already done that portion and once feels more than adequate... And I haven't been to muxia so it kind of makes sense.
Training starts this weekend, I intend to walk to and from the pub instead of getting a taxi . And I'm having extra salad on my kebabs.
Roll on April

Take a shuttle or bus via the Valcarlos Route, and if you find an irresistible urge to stop the bus along the way and to start walking, give in. Otherwise, on to Pamplona

Buen Camino and Ultreya, Andy

Training starts this weekend

Don't forget stretching exercises. I was told to do toe touches. I found they were easier done sitting down.

I'm not sure it'll be effective it'll be but I'm willing to give it a go. How far away do you live? And can I sit down while I'm touching your toes?

Putting the Kebab and a few tinnies in a backpack and carrying it to the nearest park bench can help increase stamina and your social standing... Well it works for me

You know what you’re missing... the beautiful Basque Country. And a big hill. Nothing like a gentle walk to the ocean

Good luck and enjoy the walk to Muxia

Buen Camino

 

[nycwalking]

Enjoy!

Apparently there are now two routes to Muxia.

Let us know what way you take.

Buen camino.

I really like your new plan, Andy, especially since you have already walked from SJPdP. I am walking on to Muxia and then to Finesterre this spring after finishing up the Norte from Oviedo.

Even better, sit down while Rick touches his toes....

Good for you! My advice to anyone who asks is to start in Pamplona. MUCH nicer way to begin in my opinion and Pamplona is a cool city with an awesome cathedral. There is a pilgrim mass @ the smaller chapel to the left of the cathedral at I think 5:45 pm every evening. Nice way to begin. ENJOY.

If you just want to avoid the sjpdp to Roncesvalles section, you could always start in Roncesvalles. That's where I started when I walked the Camino Frances (not because I was chickening out of anything but because that's where I was told - by Spaniards- it started).

You fly on St George’s Day!

Don't be too tough on yourself! However, I think you should consider throwing in some extra training days during the week as well...
