    Better Organization needed for distributing Compostelas!

    Hear, hear. Pretty chaotic when I was there too. The volunteers were doing there best but a clearer process is needed before reaching the marked 'footprints' and without the need for Pilgrims to cross lines to get there.

    Thoughts on the Via (with a Sanabres finish)

    Great article and information Tom. I can endorse all you have covered as I was on the VDLP the same time as you of course. Great meeting you and good ‘Craic’ over the dinners.

    First Camino 2020

    I walked full CF in Sept/Oct 2018 and experienced choke points in the places mentioned above, ie SJPP, Roncesvalles and Zubiri. I would suggest that you consider booking those places but you should be fine after that provided you don’t arrive at your intended overnight stop late in the...

    Learning Spanish - Is Babbel a good choice?

    Have a look at a free podcast called ‘Coffee Break Spanish’. It’s ideal for what you want as each lesson is 15/20 minutes long and each covers a scenario like booking into a hotel/albergue , ordering a meal, asking directions, shopping etc. If you get out of your depth Google Translate is...

    Learning Basic Spanish

    It had been mentioned above but I like the free podcast called ‘Coffee Break Spanish’. It’s audio, the lessons are 15/20 mins long, each lesson has a topic such as ordering food in a restaurant or booking a hotel room, asking directions etc.

    Thames trail

    I've walked a middle section from Wallingford to Hampton Court - about 70 miles over a couple of weekends. IMO this stretch is one of the best of the Thames Path as a whole. I would recommend it - walking is easy, scenery good and plenty places to stop and take on sustenance. As above...
