Walking

After a month of inactivity.  First with a bad cold, then two weeks away visiting family and right after we got home I hurt my back on the first hike.  May be I will be ready to start walking again next week.  We had been trying for 40 to 50 km a week but now we have lost all our training.  We have to start all over.

In the Bruce trail near Mississauga, Ontario

We are still planning for a start in mid to late March.  We know most people finish in somewhere around 35 days.  Trying to be realistic I think we will need at least 45 days.

We keep buying equipment little by little.  We just got our sleeping bags.  They are rated for 15C (and for a extreme of 3C).  The average temperature in Navarra in March is around 9 C with a minimum of 3C.  We do not expect to have to sleep outside so we should be fine.  The sleeping bags weight 1 kg so they will be a significant part of our load but they pack reasonably small.

I will write occasionally until we start el Camino
