[QUOTE="peb, post: 621810, member: 79344"] something to add to @taga_cenb's question on whether walking across the N-651 bridge will mean that you lose the full Camino experience? Answer is, absolutely not. The N-651 bridge is an 8km shortcut, nothing else. You can still obtain a compostela if you go along that route. Yes, I completely agree with @Old_Crow that the full walk round the estuary is lovely, but if the shortcut saves your legs for the future stages, by the time you have reached Pontedeume at the end of the first day, and sat in the square with a beer or glass of wine, or looked over the river at the bridge from Potendeume quayside, you will have completely forgotten about it, or any guilt. You still walk 100km from Ferrol to Santiago. In addition, there are plenty of other wonderful parts of the Camino Ingles to savour after Fene; walking along the white sand beach at Cabanas, Pontedeume and its bridge, the walk over the railway bridge at Mino, walking along the estuary to Betanzos, the old capital of Betanzos itself, the Eucalyptus forests, Hospital de Bruma, and then to Santiago. If, when you get there, if your body says, take the N-651 bridge shortcut, do so. But, as [USER=3000]@falcon269[/USER] rightly says, walk on the left hand side; i.e. the Northern footpath, which means walk under the N-651 at the roundabout and then up the sliproad that side. There are then less junctions on the Fene side to deal with. If you are in luck, the oyster fishermen may be out on their boats just below the bridge when you walk over. [/QUOTE]
