- Time of past OR future Camino
- Planning a a Camino de Carlos
After reading a rather heated recent thread about double-stage walkers, I wanted to hear some positive stories if long walks.
When the weather and my mood are lovely, I often don’t feel like stopping and walk on. I’ll never forget the time I started a second “day” of walking at 11:00 p.m. under the full moon with a Camino acquaintance. We walked until dawn. Quiet and contemplative.
I sometimes walk two to three long days as I approach a larger city, then take an extra night or two in town, something I’m surprised others refuse. My love of León and its street culture grew out of a three day stretch there in 2011.
All that said, distance walked is merely a function of time and effort and mood, without a moral component, as I see it.
And the rest of you? Any offbeat tales of off-schedule or extraordinary days/ distances?
I won’t likely participate, but would love to hear your stories.
