Hello all!
I have just graduated from college in the US and want to walk the Camino as a last hurrah since I've been dreaming of doing this for many years now. I was thinking of starting in Pamplona as I've always wanted to visit that city, but I only have about 2 weeks total to make it to Santiago. Is this doable or is this crazy? I am a very athletic and physically fit 22 year-old female (I was a basketball player) and I have a fair amount of hiking experience; however, I have no idea what is the typical walking distance for an average day on the Camino. I know the exact distance will vary from person to person and day to day, but if I could just hear from a number of you what you found your typical daily distance to be and with how many hours per day of walking, that could really help me out. On paper, I would like to think that I could do 20-25 miles a day easily, but I realize that I really don't know anything about the Camino and that walking that far per day every day is a lot more easily said than done.
Thank you all so much for your help!
