The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
It is 31.1 km, goes up nearly 600 meters in elevation, then down about 800 meters.

section from Cercedilla to Segovia. How difficult for not so youthful 75yr old?

I walked this route and thoroughly enjoyed this stage. It is tough but if you are fit, start off early and take your time no reason why you couldn't do it. The views from the top are beautiful.

The new guide to this route is ready and waiting on Ivar uploading it. I'll let you know when he does.

many thanks john! have no intention of moving an inch till i get new guide got an os map from those nice people at the map shop in Hereford which made me wonder a little hence the trepidation! I was in St Jean a few years back when it was mild and yet 4 pilgrims died up on the tops! You and I met in Santander one year at the bus stop from the airport and u r still as helpful as ever I also get called Sean! Take care.
 

Gosh - great to hear from you. The guide has extracts of the ING maps from Peter Robbins website but the route is very straightforward and extremely beautiful. It is truly a "no roads camino". Young Max from Madrid is studying at Oxford and volunteered to update the guide after he walked the route. Ivar now has it and it should be uploaded soon.

Best regards

John
