Andrius...welcome to the Forum and the Class of 2012!

You offered:

well 800 km distance long enough to find the answer

You may find out that first km...those in between...or the last. When it hits...you will know.

Please keep the Forum in the loop as you progress along the Way.

Buen Camino,

Arn

Four weeks (28 days) is faster than average for the Camino Frances. But it is quite achievable.

The Camino is wonderful experience, yet different for each pilgrim who walks it.

Enjoy the anticipation and the journey.

You have time to adjust to your boots. Some things to consider:

1. Your feet can swell over long distances...so, when you train...keep your feet dry, as soon as you feel a hot spot, or any irritation...stop and fix it right then. Going just 2 km more can do the damage.

2. Once you feel good in your boots...begin walking distance with your full pack. The added weight will change the way your feet move in your boots.

Hello compatriot!

I hope you'll write your experience when finish your camino.
I'll be at the way in 2013 just. You're happy to have 4 weeks rather mine 3 ones.

Buen camino!
