Day 12 (15-Aug-07) - Fromista to Calzadilla de la Cueza


BORING, BORING, BORING – that’s all we can say about today’s straight-as-an-arrow and perfectly flat traverse. To give you a sampling of how we felt for the 7 hrs we spent on the road today, let me give you some of our statistics to date.

Todays Mileage: 36.24 km
Total Mileage: 365.20 km
Average Mileage: 30.43 km
Walking Time: 7 hrs 5 min
Total Walking Time: 74 hr 23 min
Average Walking Time: 6 hrs 17 min
Calories Burned Today: 1,877
Total Calories Burned: 18,912
Average Calories Burned: 1,576

* Numbers do not take into consideration (varying) weight carried in backpack and are based on AM details.

We trust you too have been suitably bored with the above……

Anyway, the boring journey left plenty of time for self-reflection, self-flagulation and all the other things expected of a pilgrim whilst on this route. However, as the conclusions reached during these times of introspection will be even more boring than the above statistics or today’s route, I will leave it at that.

Whoever said this journey was supposed to be easy anyway???
