Any recommendations what I should/could do??

Minkey said:Jerome, despite what some people might say, there are hills pretty much all the way along the Camino. When you hear people saying "oh, it flattens out" then don't believe em!
if you start from SDJP there is a refugio about 7-8km into the climb. "
I know. But it's already full ...
...I'll start the camino anyway ... the question is just where!
living in Florida I had no opportunity to train on hills other than the odd bridge or carpark.
I also started in SJPDP and the first day killed my slightly dodgy knee.
I recovered enuf overnight to continue but a combination of the hilly terrain, having to keep to the road due to snow, having a too heavy pack, and going farther than I should forced me to quit the Camino a week later with severe tendonitis (?) in my shins - literally came up lame.

No matter what happens to me I know that eventually I'll have to use my knee pads. Accepted. So, am taking them with me. What helped the second time around was staying overnight at Honto, but u said that it was booked. OK. Did u check with the albergue at Orisson?
...booked ...never got an answer...angry...phoned in March everything booked... knee pad ...heavy??) and walking sticks ...
don't feel that you have to start at the 'beginning' - SJPP is only the figurative start.
Sorry to bore you with my loud thinking and whining...Why can't this stage be in the middle of the camino??? [/quote
Hello pilgrim, "loud thinking + whining" re: this adventure is ok, particularly when one hasn't done it before, and even if a repeat, what the heck. I feel there's a consensus in this bec of all of us that r "chatting" with u. There's the poss of helping/supporting someone, as well as bringing further clarity and remembrances of the experience when we talk about the Caminos in any way, for us, so called "veterans" (something strange about that word but can't think of an alternative). The stage can be anywhere, u set it. One of the things about the Camino is that it's full of lessons, entirely personal, maybe there's one or two, here, for u. :wink: Best, xm 8)
