hi

i'm yannis, 20 years old, and am going on my own from st jean pied de port on the 29th july

wohooooooooooooo

 

[yannis]

oh and... i am giving myself 29 days to do it, is that ok?

also, how have other people in here trained for it?

29 days is doable, but you may want to factor in a couple of days for any unexpected problems/obstacles you might encounter.

I would agree with Minkey in that you might to allow a few days lee way to spend a day or so in some of the more interesting towns.
20 years old! I've got clothes older than you (actually, most of them)

Hi yannis, I find that we have to work with whtever time we have to do our Caminos. May/may not be doable. No doubt: u'll find out once u r there! Keep us posted. Buen Camino, xm 8)

Personally, I think 32 days is about right. After Burgos, you don't have to do a long day and as a result, you can factor in a stop at Castrojeriz, which is one of my favourite places!

excellent, someone else going to be hiking around august. Glad I´m not the only one... south of England too. Nice one.

 

[yannis]

Yannis-I'm walking from Le puy but also plan to leave from SDC on 28th August-who have you booked with for return flight? Ryan air seems to be the only reasonable option

 

[yannis]
