hi guys. , Im in my 30's and im averagly fit but in a gym way and not in a walking or hiking way by any means... BUT ive decided I need a bit of a challenge/time out/something different and for years ive wanted to do some of the French way but always found a reason not to.
im going in October. im thinking the 3rd week. SJPDP to Logrono and maybe a day or 2 onto that if I love it ill plan to go back and do it all.
im nervous as hell of gettting super bad blisters or some injury that ruins it all!!
Im not staying in Alberge - sorry but not my bag Im super happy to stay in a little hotel and get a good night sleep (I dont feel any need to torture myself any further lol) I may also get my bag transported and again totally fine with that!
**my concern is day 1 ... I keep going back and over the decision about going to Roncessvalles directly or stopping at the Orrison refuge and Im litererally changing my mind daily.....
** another thing on my mind is how the weather will be on that part of the french way if I leave it until week 3 of Oct ... since Im a newbie I really dont think walking in the bad ain is a good idea....
** my last one for now is getting the right trail shoes im not going with boots... i know its diff for everyone but is there any sort of 'go to' shoe that most ppl reccommed maybe??
excited to hear from you all....
