But that was not the point, re-read the quote
All pedestrians that includes peregrinos it says, so to me, this says, not just peregrinos, but if you are a pedestrian, you walk on the left side.
And that is about the only remark in this debate that has made any sense.
Personally, I believe...
The VDLP was mainly off road, so there were no signs, same with il Primitivo.
I know this universal rule, it just seems strange when it was stated
This wouldn't work for me at home or where I am living. I am from Australia and live in London. If I was to follow this that all pedestrians...
Having walked from Porto, walked from Oviedo, ridden twice from Oviedo and ridden from Seville, never have I seen a sign stating that you should walk on the left. I have seen signs on both sides of the roads showing where the path is. I have also just driven various parts of the Frances and also...
Nicoz, I was driving a car, the walkers were in the middle of the road and were reluctant to move, they then abused me as I drove past, and with a 75 year old woman in the car who we were trying to show how nice the Camino is, it is not a very good advertisement
As for heavy trucks, never a...
Hi
I am currently out of the office, and once back I will send you the link !!!
But seriously, I am away, and as for the GPX fie, you can load it into Google Earth to see
I'm sitting in A Coruna airport reading this and today, whilst driving to Muxia, I came across four walkers taking the whole road. I approached slowly yet they were reluctant to move and one actually abused me for being in a car on the road.
So maybe cyclists can scare walkers, but does this...
You don't need a GPS. I asked just in case you did then I could have given you a GPX file of the track. As for the alternatives, I stayed on the track both times I rode it. To be honest, I never saw a sign saying, this way for cyclists
Having walked via Pola Allande, I lay in my bed in Tineo...
I carry a Garmin GPS when I walked and when I rode. We use it to track ourselves and to geotag the photos for when we are home. Maybe on the Frances, you are on a well known track, but on the VDLP, in April, there were not many people, maybe 7 a day we would see, and one morning, the arrows...
April is good down South, but the further North you go, the colder it gets. A couple of years ago in May, there was a blizzard in Leon. I rode the track last year starting in April. It was 25 in Seville, but 2 weeks later, coming into Santiago, it was -2.5.
Also, during Easter, it can be very...
Newfy, I agree, maybe do it in the winter, but a friend of mine walked it last year in the month of October and said that it rained on him for 5 to 7 days ad consequently, the track was to muddy to walk and the walkers had to walk on the side of the road. He wasn't comfortable about this. Cars...
I use travelpod. There is no setting up, you create a username, and it gives you unlimited space for photos/videos. You can place email addresses in there or link to a facebook account. Write your story, push send, and all your contacts get the info
I hear you Rickster.
My main issue is the pilgrims who insist on wearing headphones and when I ride along, ring my bell, yell out buon camino, and then they abuse me as they could not hear me !!! In the end I threw my bell away as I found it a waste of time !!!
I have walked and cycled so I...
I use Ortleib panniers, fully waterproof. I also use a camelback as I want the water as close to me as possible
As for riding the il Primitivo part, I have done this twice. The track is rideable, but you will need to push in a few sections, namely up Hospitales. If you go the other way, you...
