The first step in a journey of many steps
- Time of past OR future Camino
- April 2015
Hi All,
We are doing our first Camino in April next year and have started doing some training walks. Our second walk last weekend involved a very steep climb at the end with what felt like a 2:1 gradient at the end, after a 6 km bushwalk. I was wondering how this compares to the first day out of SJPP.
I have read a number of thread where people have said this is really tough but given the number of people who have done it, of all ages and fitness levels, I am trying to work out how much I am going to suffer through that first day.
If any of you who have done it recently could advise as how long it took you to do and then to recover afterwards, I would appreciate it.
