To answer your question, there isn't a hop-on hop-off bus that follows the routeMy question is this.. is there a bus that I can pick up along the way to enable me to speed up my Camino?
One question: how tall are you and how long is your stride? Because I move my short legs as fast as the others, but always am left in the dust due to my short stride.there is no reason why, with proper physical preparation, you should not be able to walk easily from St Jean to Santiago in less than a month, most people just don't take their physical preparation diligently enough. I a 55 year old diabetic and walked C.F. in 21 days in 2013 and in 20 days last year.
start from Pamplona, or Burgos, or León, or Sarria... and you will have plenty of time and (perhaps) get more out of it. i am still to understand this fixation with starting in SJPPI am planning to do the Camino from SJPP end of June/First of July.. problem is, cannot get the full amount of time I wanted/needed to walk the complete trail, off from work. So My question is this.. is there a bus that I can pick up along the way to enable me to speed up my Camino? Thanks!!!
Agree with this.tendoonitis injury is the one thing that will stop you in your tracks especially doing 40 km a day, it's quiet a lot unless you have legs up to your chin and even then 40 km is a lot to do in a day. Many folk make the mistake that because they "think" they are fit they can walk walk walk walk!! Not so. We met so many young people with tendoonitis who had to give up walking the Camino. Why not take the advice given above. of starting the Camino--- see how far you get in the time that you have-- then continue from where you left off another time. " Absence will only make the heart grow fonder" for getting back to your journey. Good luck to you AnnetteSeems to me you'd be missing so much and stressing the whole way. Why the rush? Perhaps pick a closer point, or do it in stages as others have posted. 40 kms a day?? You risk injury. You want this to be a fulfilling experience no matter what the distance....wish you the best Camino you can work out.
Why not do a section at a slower pace and come back and finish it at another time , you are attempting it a he hottest time and you could, I say could end up like so many others injuring yourself and also missing out on so much in your haste. It will still be there tomorrow.I am planning to do the Camino from SJPP end of June/First of July.. problem is, cannot get the full amount of time I wanted/needed to walk the complete trail, off from work.

I walked it in 22 days, I was 65 then, how long have you got? It's surprising what good progress you can make if you put your best foot forward.I am planning to do the Camino from SJPP end of June/First of July.. problem is, cannot get the full amount of time I wanted/needed to walk the complete trail, off from work.

I do hill walk regularly in the Wicklow Mountains and believe me when I say I find a 40 km Camino day physically far less demanding than a 20 km hike in saturated upland bog. On a typical Camino day, I very comfortably walk at about 5.3/ 5.6 kms an hour. I find I like the solitude offered by walking through the afternoon on the Camino and typically finished between 4 and 6 each day but still had enough time for at least 2 sit down light meals and stops to see the sights which attracted me and a little sight seeing in the evening. I am 179 cms tall, my pace count is 66 per 100 meters which is mid range as stride lengths go.One question: how tall are you and how long is your stride?
