I only recall one really long day, Ferrol to Pontedeume, but at the time I didn't think that was overly hard, although it was a long walking day. There are always intermediate places to stay, although perhaps not albergues, that will allow you to walk shorter distances should you wish.We are looking to use a commercial organisation to move our bags and book accommodation. Question is do we add a night at Neda or not? Or any other suggestions just a bit concerned that a number of days have around 30 kms to walk.
Also any recommendations for tour companies or things we should consider in selecting one?
I am walking the Ingles in June with a friend who needs shorter stages due to a bit of nerve damage in her leg. We landed on the same itinerary as you though without bag transport. Nice to know we won’t be the only ones enjoying a “longer” camino.Here is my itineary set up by WalktheCamino (they are arranging bag transport as well)

If I walk the Camino ingles again I will stop in Neda. I didn’t last time and wished I had. The walk from Ferrol is entirely on pavement and it was very tiring, hard on the feet. For a more enjoyable, more leisurely walk, I recommend stopping in Neda.We are looking to use a commercial organisation to move our bags and book accommodation.

I have a friend who is also walking it in June with a friend with nerve damage in her leg - ME. One foot surgery, ankle broken twice, seven knee surgeries plus a less-than-perfect replacement, permanent nerve damage... and that's just the RIGHT leg! But I am determined, and blessed to have such a dear friend joining me on the Camino.I am walking the Ingles in June with a friend who needs shorter stages due to a bit of nerve damage in her leg.

Great that you are going for it. I know for my friend it has become a very important goal and I am happy to help her realize it. We’re departing Ferrol June 1–maybe we’ll see you along the way.

We are also planning on shorter stages and allowing extra days to complete the trek.
Maybe we will see each other along the way! We depart Ferrol the day after you. Ultreia!7

Walking a lot is great but I seriously advise putting some elevation into your walking there are some serious hills in the Camino Ingles. Plus bring softer shoes to avoid blisters and be aware there is some tarmac periods and also rough and sharp gravel. Because of the hils 20 plus KM takes significantly longer than on flat. Get used to using poles they are a real life saver.We are doing the Ingles in September. Although we have walked a lot in the UK, nothing quite as long as some of these stages so we are looking forward to the challenge.
Because its our first Camino, we have booked through a travel company and will have reserved accomodation each night. We have also deceided to stop in Neda so we can break ourselves into the pilgrimage gently.
This is great! We are hoping to walk the Camino Ingles next spring and wanted to make it a pleasurable, leisurely walk and this looks about perfect for us!Here are my suggested stages, for eight or more total, if you want to take a look! Just click on the link. You can always combine two stages, as you feel fit! Happy planning!
There is the Pensión Mesón Paz, a few steps off-Camino, about one kilometer south of the center of Pontedeume, and the Hotel Montebreamo, even a little closer, if that helps you any! You could knock out that long climb up/out of Pontedeume, at least. You can look at my map here, too. Otherwise, Miño is your only other option.If there were an accommodation option 4-5km beyond Pontedeume, that could work for day two but it appears there isn't anything until Miño another 10km further.
