I might be old, and there might be some others with a few years on me, but I don't know that anyone here would be able to answer that from personal experienceDavid said:so - were the medievals like this? Did they just stroll along - stop when tired, sleep when sleepy? They certainly didn't have the time restraints that most moderns have - nor wristwatches! - nor the need to get back to work at a certain date .. (if they did get back of course) ..
So - what do you think? Anyone know?
What would they have carried? Would their 'pack' weight have been lighter too
David said:It seems that most fatigue/stress/damage problems are to do with completing within a certain time limit - usually 33-35 days or so as well as that strange driven compulsion you see many pilgrims have, to get to a refuge - walking in the dark, racing through the countryside, then waiting outside a refugio in a queue for hours until it opens

Good way to ruin a trip. We go off season, never have a destination or reservation, and are prepared to spend a bit extra for a place here and there is that is all there is available. Perhaps the modern pilgrim should scale back the plans to fit the time and budget better.
One word for anyone longing for the halcyon days of the middle ages: Dentistry!
