Confessions of a couch potato

[greenshank]

Hi, I'm greenshank. Although my nickname indicates that I can fly I don't have wings...

So I walk. A lot during my holidays, but at home during winter not so much.
And so far I've never done a proper walking holiday. So I've decided to give it a try.
As I'm a slow walker and would like to draw some as well, I've decided that 15-20 km a day is a good start. I could probably manage 30 as well, but I don't want to pressure myself too much. Walking is supposed to make me feel better, not like an achiever, right? :mrgreen:

I'm glad I found this forum, I've already got some good links from another member!

Starting to get nervous...

With my Camino de Madrid starting on Tuesday (by plane) / Wednesday (by feet) I'm not able to concentrate on other things... I have weighed every item in my pack and have found the lightest of everything.
Tha backpac now weighs 9 kilo, which is a bit more than I aimed for, but I will bring sleepingbag and matrass. Add water and some snacks to that and I will walk with 10 kilo on my back. Not too bad. But I will try to see if I can leave something else at home.

If anyone but me plans to start walking in Madrid, let me know.
I'm a bit crazy I think :wink:

Buen Camino
:mrgreen:

Greenshank,

You think you're a bit crazy? Indeed you are!
And so are the rest of us. ;-)


Buen camino!

Buen Camino Greenshank.

It will be quite a shock between the buzzing of Barajas and the peace on the camino... once out of Madrid of course. Have fun. :wink:
