(Not) too old Konnie responds

Thanks to all who gave me encouragement and advice about doing another Camino! I'v taken it all to heart and am planning for the Via Francigna to Roma . Hoping to go in October. I may skip some parts by jumping on a train or a bus because I want to walk for 3 weeks. Probably starting in Pavia (about 45 km south of Milano). I'm a grandma x 2 now and help my daughter a lot. In any case, the cities and villages hold more interest for me than trekking in the mountains cuz I can get lots of that at home. Plus, carrying water and food is heavy. Boo. The forum for the Via Francignais is very helpful. Something I found there is the app Pocket Earth. Thanks again kind Caminoists!

@konnie , hi and I'm a grandad x 1. In three weeks I start from Canterbury and intend to make Reims (just 400 km) this year and maybe beyond. Then return next year for another go and finish when I can.

I like your thought to hop on a bus/train when the going is awkward or just to make progress. I am quite certain the early travellers / pilgrims would not heitate to catch a ride on a passing cart when the opportunity arose.

Kia kaha (you take care, be strong, get going)
