- Time of past OR future Camino
- None-will be first one.Want to do 100-150 km Camino in late November, 2019
Hello. New to the forum(last week) and have been reading posts and attending the University of Google in great detail. I have decided for work and personal reasons this December. Only time I can get a couple weeks off work ). Having made that decision I have started my training as best I can prepare in a short time. I want to walk as far as I can, and I'm going to say that a reasonable goal and expectation at this stage is about 100-15- km in a 7-8 day time frame. Also I am not afraid of the elements, can wing it with no concerns and am pretty resourceful. And finally I am doing this as a pilgrimage of sorts rather than a vacation with a really long walk. I want to experience what the original pilgrims did as much as possible.
OK-that's the backgrounder. Some things I need help with.
1. Which Camino would people recommend ? I do prefer water, nature, forest rather than rolling country side ( to each their own )
2. Will there be enough hostels available in December or are they all closed down ?
3. Do I need to contact the hostels that I want to stay at in advance?
4. I know that camping is discouraged, but is there a way that I can tent it somehow ? Will some routes be more likely to have a place where I can legally camp.
Thanks for all your help so far. I don't know what is drawing me to do this, and maybe I will find out in the first 5 KM, but I have made a decision to do it and will not waiver from that. ( OK-enough personal stuff)
