- Plan to walk The French route starting September 9, 2017
My husband and I (we're almost 70) will walk our first Camino (French way) starting on September 9, 2017. We are excited and apprehensive and curious and anxious and happy and terrified - all at the same time! We live in Panama, Central America and have been walking daily 2 to 3 miles with longer 5 mile walks sprinkled in. Today we started our intensive training....up at 6:30am, walked 5 miles, taking an hour or two break for breakfast; walking another 5 miles, with a couple hour break; then walking the final 5 miles later in the afternoon. Trying to simulate what our average day will be like on the Camino. We plan to ship our luggage as my husband has an iffy back so we're using our much lighter day packs for essentials. I'd appreciate any advice, especially from older pilgrims, and would love to connect with other folks who plan to walk the same time we do. Many thanks
