- walking every day for the rest of my life
Firstly, please let me say I am very used to doing 30+km days and usually only find I'm uncomfortable after 35km. Shorter than 25km usually feels too short. (When my husband and I walked from Porto we planned to go slowly and stop in lots of bars and just cover 15km or so a day. We couldn't do it. After sitting in a bar for an hour we would don our packs again and keep walking through the afternoon!) I'll also have been regularly walking 20 and 30km at home before leaving.
I have looked at the elevation profiles and it *seems* to me that these stages are potentially doable (assuming no injuries or dreadful weather) - but would anyone who has walked like to comment? Have I missed something?
Once I hit the ground I will take each day as it comes but I'm just wanting to get a feel for whether or not I am going to be able to walk all the way to Leon in the time I have available or whether I'll need to stop in Sahagun and jump on a bus. If I want to try for Leon I need to make the call fairly early on and do some longish days at that point. Of course I could shorten my time in Segovia too - or walk farther the day I hit the Frances.
