The Camino walk is not a race so please don't worry about your pace! However it would be helpful to know what your walking pace is. The best way to work it out is to go for a 3-4km walk at a leisurely pace and measure how long it takes you. You may, for example, avarage 15 minutes per km. So if we are scheduled to walk 14 kms in one day you can calculate 14km x 15 mins = 210 mins which is 3.5 hours.

If you are concerned about being ''last" then you are welcome to leave earlier and take your time. Each walk beings at the town where we have spent the night and the end of the day is where we will spend the night. The longest walk is 24 kms so again at 15 mins per km that is 6 hours of walking across the whole day.

This is a personal choice, but hiking poles are great for keeeping you upright & take up to 25% of the load off your body! However, they do take practice so you should buy them well in advance and do some training walks with them.

Catch.com.au have 2 piece collapsible poles for $34 - link here

The path is very well signed with Camino signs, even a simple yellow arrow spray painted can point you in the right direction. As our walk begins in Sarria there will be lots of other pilgrims on the path as well. Each day you will be given a walking brief with a map and outline of what to expect.

You can also buy a local SIM card and call the guide if you get lost. Note: not all areas will have mobile phone coverage.

You can spend time walking alone or with others from the group, or others you meet along the Way. A list of our hotels and phone numbers will also be provided.

The fitter and better prepared you are, the more you will enjoy the walk.

Start by taking short (1 hour) walks 2 or 3 times a week, wearing the boots and clothes that that you will be using for the trek. This will
improve your aerobic fitness. If you have not been walking on a regular basis you will benefit much more from taking several 1 hour walks as
opposed to one really long walk. After a couple of weeks, increase the pace during your walks so that you are breathing hard and able to speak only in short sentences. This is good for fat burning and improving lung capacity. Build up to regular longer walks (2 hours) at least twice a week. When you are comfortable completing a number of shorter walks each week, test yourself with a 3–5 hour walk over hilly terrain through bushland. Remember to
carry water and take a few rest breaks.If you are an inexperienced walker, you will benefit from including plenty of full-day (and preferably several multi-day) training walks in your schedule.
When you can comfortably complete a training walk of 6–7 hours, including rest breaks, start completing some long-weekend hikes of 15–20km both days across the most difficult terrain you can find.

Once everyone is registered Selah may offer some training walks so that we can meet & get to know each other better.

A pilgrim passport is part of your Camino experience. While it is not strictly necessary to have one if you are not staying in Albergues they are are still a great memento of your trip and will entitle you to your Compostela certificate once you reach Santiago.

The Camino passport is an official Camino document and will be given to you at the star tof the tour.

The pilgrim’s passport is a folded piece of card with space for 54 stamps.

The passport is used to verify the distance you have walked, regardless of your route and is proof that you are a ‘real’ pilgrim and are not travelling by car or public transport along the Camino. The passport is a wonderful memento of your pilgrimage and is used to determine monthly statistics on the Camino such as how many pilgrims are walking into Santiago each year. It is also a great interaction with local peole as you source your stamp from them.
