So....YAY the decision is made. After 3 months of post Camino withdrawal, I'm giving in to the urge to walk it again and will do so in Spring of 2017. (it will take a lot of patience to wait that long but a great reason to keep walking here at home in the meanwhile) I talked to my husband who is NOT a walker and explained my "need to go again" He supports it 100% and thinks its a great and healthy "hobby" to have. So it may be that I will become one of many that walks the Camino over and over again.
I know there have been previous posts about this but can't find them anymore.
My question is : What did you change walking your 2nd (or 3rd ) Camino?
I am thinking about taking a bit more time and maybe walk only 15 miles max a day and not pushing on to keep up with the usual stages.
Hey! Good for you ... I thought it was only me who had those thoughts!The second and later times I often stopped at different spots along the CF. Of course since I am old walking very slowly is the norm always taking time to smell the roses or throw a snowball. At 76 I do not wish to hurry into eternity. For comments/posts re changes in kit over the years see what several of us repeating veterans have written here.
I'm sure this will appeal to many of us "steady" walkers... I think one of the nicest things about camino-ing for me is the flexibility to be spontaneous and do *whatever* on any given day.
Definitely prefer kilometers!I'm sure this will appeal to many of us "steady" walkers. And when walking I prefer distances in kilometers, instead of miles: they add up much quicker
First big change I made was to start in St Jean instead of Pamplona. At 66 now maybe Pamplona should have remained my starting point. Glad I did it but tougher than I thought it would be. Second change was to try to stay in different albergues. Generally worked out fine but one or two were not as good as I had hoped. I did not walk slower, any slower than first time is called 'stopped'So....YAY the decision is made.
