    There's a sand dune on one of the stages of the Camino do faros.

    It's quite a climb, one step upwards half a pace slipping back in the fine sand. Anyone know how high it is? When you come down from the dune you join a road and can see the lighthouse at Cabo Vilan in the distance.

    New peril on the Pisuerga River?

    Don't be taking the opportunity to cool your feet in this river until this mystery is cleared up. Witnesses, including a police officer, have reported sightings of a crocodile .

    Flooding in Galicia

    Pretty miserable walking to Roncesvalles today. None stop rain until at higher altitude it turned to snow. Tomorrow, to Zubiri, is there an alternative to the trail? Never easy at the best of times, it'll be muddy or covered with snow.

    Yesterday in SJPdP three of us shared a platter of ham as a starter then I had a portion of duck with french fries and a small portion of tasty vegetable stew. Our meal came to €90, including a bottle of wine. Tonight, in Valcarlos, we bought some bread, ham, cheese, tomatoes, olives, gherkins...

    Hiking Quotes - just for fun.

    We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.

    Starting a new kilt thread (it is February, after all!).

    I'm not sure I'd wear a kilt myself.

    Starting a new kilt thread (it is February, after all!).

    There was once a polity called Dalriada which covered south west Scotland and north east Ireland. A surname there was Mac Gille Eathain, meaning 'son of the servant of St John'. Over the years that would have changed to McClain.

    Kilts are OK. I'd draw the line at tartan caps and false beards, though. https://goo.gl/images/efdJRR

    Beds for Pilgrims in Tabara: a Peaceable Project!

    Donated $100. The Tabara albergue is small, the same can't be said of the heart of the hospitalero. He's a good man.

    If you get the passport framed you should keep it out of direct sunlight. The ink used for the stamps soon fades. There's a hotel in Castrojerez which has framed passports in the bar. Every single stamp on them has vanished over time.

    Women not as strong as men.

    :eek: yes, indeed. The weaker vessel.

    And I got this one in Irun at the start of the Norte.

    No. The inside is fairly plain but there's a couple of coloured pages in the centre showing maps of the Camino Norte, Francais, and Portuguese.

    The one on the left is issued by the Rioja Friends. I got it in Navarette to replace one I'd lost. To the right is an Irish passport.

    The first scallop shell hiking socks?

    But they're not even a match.
