Hi Annie,I'm 63 and it takes me about 40-45 days.
Looking at it another way roblsch no matter what your age your camino is never completed the Way is a lifetime's walkGreetings From Canada - My plan is to walk the Camino Frances (St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago) April/May 2016. I've read it should take me approximately 35 days - so with my being 65 years young, i was wondering what the longest it's ever taken anyone to complete it. Cheers!

You will not be the only one, and not because of your age. Best lesson I learned on my 1st Camino (following the etaps in a Spanish guidebook) was from an early 20s Estonian with long legd: if she liked a village she was walking by, be it after 5 km only, she would stay there. Id she felt like walking she could do 30km. It had never occured to meThanks for the welcome Mike! I'm reasonably confident that i can do this but was just curious to know if i'm still on the trail after day 40+ that i won't be the only one.
Not trying be funny but its taken some people years to walk it. They can only get off for a few days or a week or money is a issue so they do it a little each year. Friend Craig and I are allowing ourselves 45 days door step to door step. This will be our third Camino and our first French Camino. Based on what I have seen on this forum, 30 days appears to be the norm.Greetings From Canada - My plan is to walk the Camino Frances (St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago) April/May 2016.

Cheers, Imsundaze! Walking slow ... is walking fast. Enjoy it!I plan to go to Spain for 10 weeks, and will go from Pamplona to Santiago to Finisterre as slowly as feels right. If I finish early, I'm going to the beach. I have time at this point of my life, not going to rush, not going to keep up with anyone else, going to enjoy the experience. Celebrating 70 years old!
I don't know what the longest is, but a fellow member of my church community, and also a senior, took two months to do it several years ago. I have also given myself two months, but with the thought that that should be lots of time to face the challenges of the walk and I shall be free to follow my further inspirations if I arrive in Santiago before my two months are up. I may want to see more of Spain or continue the pilgrimage theme by going to Finisterre and/or Muxia, or possibly go on a post-camino retreat. The cheapest airfare from Calgary to Spain (Madrid) was found by booking a return flight back in February. My current challenge is facing the fact that the Canadian dollar has been significantly devalued since then and I must pay living expenses for any extra time in Spain if I finish my camino early. You must decide how much time (and money) you can afford, being away long enough to finish your camino at your own pace. I think that I made the best decision for me, but time will tell. I leave September 28 and return November 30.Greetings From Canada - My plan is to walk the Camino Frances (St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago) April/May 2016.

I'm flying Air France Madrid-Toronto on Nov 30. Maybe see you at the airport, if not before!return November 30
It is so exciting to hear from someone about to set out. I set out in 9/24.You definitely will not be the only one nor the slowest. Many people have no set schedule and are actually able to walk short distances each day without guilt. Even when I try to go slowly I seem to push myself. Personally I am just turning 59 and have 40 days on the trail. Somehow I think my body will not allow such a pace as I am a fast walker. Five more days until I hit the trail.
Hi. I am 70 and plan to do the same at the same time. I have also allowed 35 days and from my research I am confident this is achievable even with 2 or 3 rest days.Greetings From Canada - My plan is to walk the Camino Frances (St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago) April/May 2016.

I believe that the longer you take the more you get out of it, it seems that it soaks in to you .
Hi Richard, I was 61 last April / May when I was on the Camino Frances. Walked for 37 day's, there where some short day's because I wanted to do some side seeing. Enjoyd every day of it.Hi.
