- Camino Frances - July/August 2016
Hey everyone. This thread is for the more quantitatively-minded amongst you!
It was a big day out here on the Camino Frances today where I passed the 1,000,000 'Camino-steps' milestone.
I've just wrapped up Day 29 out of St Jean Pied de Port (now in Sarria) and have mostly been following the standard Camino Frances route with my trusty pedometer clipped to my belt since walking nervously out the front door of my St Jean hotel early in the morning of 7 July.
By my calculations, the millionth step happened somewhere on the outskirts of Sarria as we were coming in just before lunchtime.
The count includes the few hundred or thousand extra steps I take each day as I potter around the wonderful villages and towns that I've stopped in along the way. It also includes the few lazy steps I took on Day 20 when I had a rest day - in beautiful Leon.
And I've loved every one of them, except perhaps for that mis-step in the first week where I slipped into a water crossing .
Excluding the Leon rest day, my average daily step count so far has been just over 35,900 (most - 55,305; least 24,801).
I'd be interested to hear about any other CF step-counts that pilgrims might have recorded.
I'll check back in with my final number in a few days when I arrive at the cathedral in SDC at the end of this truly amazing adventure.
