    What do you wish you had worried less about?

    I am loving your cow story thank you. A few squeals from me (over the milking cows with horns!) I didn’t worry beforehand but when confronted I worried what to do if they charged at me!! Fortunately it ended well when they walked on by.

    Recommendations & considerations when selecting a tour operator specialising in self-guided walks

    Yes I was very happy with this company. I made some changes in the middle of my journey and they were very accomodating. I loved my journey - but some of that was because I knew it would work for me (no matter what)

    Questions about using a travel agency

    Totally agree with Nuala, who I had the pleasure of meeting, dining with and walking with on my Camino in May-June 2015. I went with a similar provider (Follow the Camino) a and couldn't fault the process. Good luck and Buen Camino

    Recommendations & considerations when selecting a tour operator specialising in self-guided walks

    Back on the forum and fingers crossed I won’t be “bumped out” today! This post is in response to the question from OzViking about which tour provider I settled on for my Camino experience in May-June 2015.

    Was Mick Right?........Was Mick Wrong?
