Hello everyone!
I've been reading the post on here and am becoming a little overwhelmed! My partner and I (31 and 35 years) are planning on walking the Camino next May from Verin. I did a 21 mile walk for charity yesterday as my first practice and think I could complete 10 miles a day with ease.
We are complete novice walkers and although we have spent lots of time in many parts of Spain (my partner's father was Spanish), we have never done countryside walks etc. My partner's Mother and my Mother and Father wish to complete the walk with us, in memory of my partner's father. The are all over 60 and we are the nominated 'planners' of the walk!!
I would be really grateful of any information about where to start planning the walk... what maps do I need to buy to plan the route? Where can we stay? (Our family don't want to sleep in dorms). How do we register and get our Camino passports stamped? The main worry of mine is the actual route, I have no experience or off road walking and am terrified of getting my family lost! Is the route well signposted etc!??
Many thanks,
Lizzie
