Planning is what it is all about. And to do it in two ways. On the one hand, planning the physical preparation before starting our journey. That is, planning the training to get the body used to walking (or pedalling). On the other hand, planning the route to ensure that it does not exceed our physical and mental limits.

In Galilee he was known as the son of Zebedee: Yaqob bar Zibhdi. In Jerusalem as "the Greater", to differentiate him from the son of Alphaeus, who was also a disciple of Jesus and was also called Yaqob, and who came down to us as James "the Lesser". The name, Yaqob in Aramaic or עֲקֹב (Yahăqōb) in Hebrew, was later Latinised as Iacobus through the Greek. From that form it passed into modern languages, with or without the treatment of saint. However, as various biblical passages relate, for Jesus of Nazareth, James the Greater and his brother John were the Boanergês: the sons of Thunder.
