My walk along the Camino covers a total distance of 800km/500 miles which I plan to cover from 1st October through to 5th November. I will be taking rest breaks along the route but when walking my average distance covered per day will be @ 25km or 15 miles per day.
To prepare for this challenge I have regularly been walking around the local countryside here in the Deux-Sevres. Today Dominic and I tackled a circuit between la Menantelierre and Le Busseau as per this image from Map My Walk. The pace was not too rigorous but my Camino challenge is a marathon not a sprint.
I am confident that my regular training walks will prepare me well for the Camino in October.
I am walking the route to honour the memories of my late father Robert Millar and our nephew Luke, you can donate in memory of Luke using the dedicated Camino memory page, don’t forget to giftaid if you can.
