LIVE from the Camino O cebriero

Hi all, just a quickie..
May I suggest that if you plan to start a camino from just before O Cebreiro that you do some training that involves a hill or two.. I have just climbed it on day 2 of my minicamino and it nearly did me in !!
I watched my dvd of the way 3 times before I set off, I didn't think I'd need much more training than that
Hugs

Yes, I'd say that 3 times is just on the lean side

Buen Camino!

It doesn't feel as difficult the second time you do it. Worth going back down to one of the villages you didn't just stay at on your first climb and you'll appreciate the Climb more too.
