Sahagun – Villadangos del Paramo 78km
the route goes through LeAfter the beautiful rural landscape on. This interesting city tempts to stop for some time, but Suunto t6 on my wrist is merciless and tells me that I don’t have yet enough kilometres for the day. So I shake off the devil of temptation and continue humbly towards a village called Villadangos. My backpack which was so light in the morning seems much heavier now.
All necessary things are carried in the backpack. It is essential that you only carry the most necessary gear with you; shoes, sleeping bag, one set of clothes to change into, and other equipment that is absolutely necessary. Nothing is carried with you ‘just in case’. Minimalism is the order of the day on running hikes. To keep the advancing as pleasant as possible, the weight of the backpack should be kept to around 5kg. For navigation you need a map and a wristop computer (I have a Suunto t6), and with the help of that you can estimate your running speed and distance to the next village. On the Santiago trail there are tiny villages about 5-15km apart, which is a suitable distance for ‘maintenance points’.

1) isn't going to build the walking/biking relationships with other pilgrims that the majority of folks will have by default, and 2) isn't going to get the same perspective as the average walker who takes around a month or more to do the Way and can therefore soak up many more experiences.spursfan said:12 days from SJPP to Santiago

Hello everyone!
I am a student from Sweden and will take the camino from St. Jean to Santiago by unicycle starting 13 of June, something like a week from now. The thing is, I will begin my first of five years at university in Sweden this autumn, and I've already been studying for many years now. Before I go back to school, I really need to see something else. This will be really terrific! And yes, it really is unicycle. I felt like doing something different, and unicycling is perfect, a little faster than walking, little slower than biking. So if you are starting a couple of days earlier from St. Jean, don't be worried when you see a unicyclist passing by. :wink:.
