Greetings, fellow peregrinas & preregrinos, from cold and overcast Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
My wife and I are planning to walk the Camino Frances in 2023. This will be our first what I would term a major hike - we're sadly in the sedentary category, so reading the very helpful posts full of tips and tricks has been most helpful. We are quite a ways away from Sept 2023 but in my experience time flies, so we've begun some planning and also some training. We are fortunate to have a lovely and fairly large metro park near where we live, so we've begun to walk 6+ mile hikes and we try to do these a few times a week, hoping to ramp up to a 12+ mile hike over the weekends, so that we have sorted out shoes/socks, etc. well in advance of the Camino.
We plan to start in StJPdP and continue on to Finisterre.
Covid is obviously of concern as none of us know what is the situation going to be like next year. Will be tracking that closely.
Thanks to @ivar for creating this wonderful resource and to all of you that share your thoughts and advice here.
Warm Regards!
