Our Routes

As promised here are the links to the routes we will be taking:

First Camino Madrid http://www.turismocastillayleon.com/cm/jacobeo/tkContent?pgseed=1312940908193&idContent=541352&locale=en_UK&textOnly=false Note that this particular website from the province of Castill Y Leon shows details of the Madrid route in this province (245 of the 320 kms.)

Then Camino Del Salvador and Camino Primitivo http://www.caminosantiagoastur.com/.

For more general information on Caminos please explore the English Camino website here: http://www.csj.org.uk/

The suggested number of days for the Camino de Madrid is about 12; and for the combination of Camino del Salvador and Camino Primitivo through to Santiago is 15. We also need 2 or 3 days from Sahagun to Leon. We expect we will need a day on each end of the pilgrimage and a 2 or 3 rest days along the way for site-seeing and R&R. We have 35 days in total.  Maybe it will work. Who knows.
One thought for a plan B: we will try the Camino de Madrid and then just continue on to Santiago on the Frances route. For plan C, we go to the beach in southern Portugal.  We'll see.

Today we took on two more loops of the Frontenac Challenge: Little Salmon loop and the Little Clear Lake loop. It was listed as 15 Km for the first and 9 Km for the second for a total of 24 km. We walked for 4 hours and 25 minutes and we took at least 25 minutes for lunch. I'm a bit skeptical on the distances. We feel we walk about 5 km per hour. I'm inclined to think the distances today were somewhat overstated while the  listed distance on Friday when we did the Slide Lake loop is understated.

We got or connections to the airport straightened out today courtesy of Via Rail. Let's hope there are no cows on the tracks.
