I have been planning this walk for over a year. I am walking with my two sons and each of us have taken a month out of our busy lives, to do this.
I like to think that I am embracing the ethos of the Camino, by only planning the first and last day.
On my recent post, I had very helpful advice(thank you all) and I elected to have no plans for the balance of the 26 days.
I am a fit healthy middle-aged man and the one thing I did not factor in was my own health( I am a doctor.... We don't get sick).
I have an acute disc lesion in my neck(I did nothing wrong to get this...unfair!) and need to have an operation this week( last medical problem was 50 years ago)
I'm hoping that I will find some person, who has had a similar experience and can tell me whether I can still do this walk, beginning in three weeks time.I can get my sons to carry my pack, if necessary.
Am I being stupid?
Should I just go for it?
Should I postpone for a year? .....Will we ever get this opportunity again.
I welcome any suggestions and advice.
