Los Arcos - Logrono-May16'
Next Logrono to ? - Sept 2019
I've found some great stats on the forum for the Camino in general. One I haven't found yet is the # of Pilgrims that start at SJPdP heading for SdC but don't make it the whole way.
I wonder, has this been calculated?.. one might not be able to gather that type info but it really would be helpful ( for me at least ) I'm 66 , therefore I fit into that <12% group , If my age group begins the Trek but only 5% make it , this would help me get a focus on how high the Bar is for us "seasoned folk" . I Might need to add some addition workout exercises to my list.
Now if it could go one step further and the attrition could be broken into "Reasons for Leaving the Path" .. i'e bad legs/feet , found a great pub in Burgos and decide to stay , death , sickness .. that would be Sweet .
I understand that The Way is personal and you cannot measure a soul and it's purpose ( and we shouldn't) and stats sort of dampen the spiritual event .. yet having as much info as possible before heading on my Way , that would be nice .. attrition data would be helpful .. just saying
745 days to go ..
