<DIV><SPAN class=657421300-13022003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Hi
all, </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=657421300-13022003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
have a question that everyone is probably getting sick of... but here it goes
anyway. In Sept 2001 I made it as far as Leon. I sprained my ankle
and fractured my foot. Thus I had to end my journey at this point.
I am heading back in June to head off from Leon. I will be doing a field
school with the university before that and therefore won't be lugging my
hiking boots around. Does anyone think it is reasonable to make the last
300k with light hikers? I am just wondering if the trails in Galicia are
a little less rugged, or a little more rugged than the first 460km?
Thank you all for you patience and advice, as I know the shoe thing is asked a
lot on the listserv.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
