Camino de Santiago

Hi

Has anyone done the Camino? I'm thinking of doing it this September.

I was interested to hear members experiences.

Cheers

I have a friend who did it. She trained by building up to three hours a day walking with a backpack. She still found it hard going but loved the walk.

Thanks for your reply BFW. I was partly inspired by a conversation I had with someone at a festival last year and the desire to do it hasn't gone away. Yes I'm already walking regularly to build my stamina, and you have reminded me I should walk with a laddened rucksack.

Cheers

I had a friend do that a couple of years ago. There are plenty of websites/forums/blogs that have some great stories and info. 😎

Cheers 🙂 I remember my friend made sure she got an excellent pair of walking boots they weren't cheap but apparently fab walking boots are a must. (I'm sure the forums will have lots of recommendations) You will meet loads of amazing people along the way, although she wasn't keen on the last 100k as there were too many people just doing the final bit and not truly into the spirit of The Camino.

P.S. Love Oysterband 😎

I have a friend who is going to do it soon, she is practicing every day 🙂
Maybe you'll meet her there 🙂
