Sorry to bother everyone, but thanks for reading.
Last year I went to US with family and as I was walking downhill on a hike in the national park, i felt pains in my knees that I never felt before. It was super painful to get to the bottom. I didnt use walking sticks or any support because I have never had these problems in my life.
So now I am reading about uphill and downhill on the way to roncesvalles.
I am wondering: will walking stick help me survive this? Are the downhills as steep as the ones you do when hiking down a mountain?
PLease help, I will provide any info you want to help me assess this.
If I must save my knees for the trip I was considering riding a bus over to start in Roncesvalles
Thanks guys
