Lisa and I are off to Porto on August 26 and starting our walk on August 30th. Putting on as many kilometres as possible in preparation has been our goal. In addition to our regular hikes, walking to work, dog walking, etc. is to join the regular weekend training walking with the 'Vancouver Camino Pilgrims'.
We have had some great walks and developed some friendships with this group so it was an obvious choice to join them this past Sunday when the walk was planned in our neighbourhood.
Lisa has been dealing with some ankle tendonitis so we joined the group for a segment of the walk but this did allow us to walk directly from our doorstep. Carrying our full Camino packs allowed for conditioning and evaluation of the load.

Our walk ended up being 10.2 km door to door. It was a good combination of side walks and trails with some moderation climbing involved. It was a warm and humid (sweaty) day but we agreed that our packs and bods felt good and with a rest and meal we could certainly take on another 10-15 km.
