hello
At this time in my grandmothers life she is in need of a goal that doesn't end when my grandfather dies. It has been suggested that I take six and walk the Camino with her carrying a good part of her things as well as my own. She mainly carrying rain poncho, camera, water, medicine, and blood sugar tester.
She can walk 10-15 km a day under a light load. Her or we taking a bus for the hard parts like the climb to O cebriero. At 84 she does not really care about taking some stages by bus to save her body strain.
Rough thought is go late April/may for good weather.
Fly to London relax for a few days
Fly to Madrid and bus to Leon
Start walking
Plan walking of about 30 days so looking at 300-375km
At Santiago fly back to London
Relax in London for a few days
Fly back to San Francisco
Is this a crazy plan?
I walked the Camino in college 2010. Can we plan on finding alburges at every 10-15 km after Leon? Is there a better starting point with a bus forward bit. She is interested in see architecture and the culture. I know that May is very busy but we can walk in the heat of summer, and spring sounds nicer than fall for walking.
Thank you for your advice
