[QUOTE="peb, post: 626596, member: 79344"] Jeff, I agree with your advice on 'follow the granite waymarks', because in a number of places the Ingles path, in reality, varies from a number of guidebooks. However, curious to know if you had any problems on the stage to Pontedeume at Cafeteria Villar de Colo, where you come up to an industrial estate and a couple of roundabouts each side of the motorway? When I did the Ingles in March, all waymarks at that point had disappeared, and there was no signage. Johnnie Walker's guide of keep straight on at he roundabout and under the bridge and then right at the next roundabout to walk up past the Opel garage turned out to be the correct route. In the absence of signage, a local angel told me to turn right at the first roundabout (where the sign says Pontedeume / Betanzos) and then right on an unmarked track at the edge of a field, which I understand is the old route, but had no granite markings thereon, just arrows on the road and on telegraph poles, all the way to Cabanas beach. If I had more time, I would have stayed at Mino - lovely beach. Like you, I encountered very few pilgrims on the way. For me, this gave me the solitude and contemplation that I needed for my pilgrimage, although it would have been good to see people ahead so that in those places where the route now deviates from the guidebook (and repeat, where that happens, follow the granite waymarks) to give confidence that I was walking the right way! Am amazed Her Britannic Majesty's Border Control let you in. That experience must be a blog in itself. Did you carry a photocopy of your passport? [/QUOTE]
