Cicereno guide to the Northern caminos

[gaulsdog]

My Cicereno guide to the northern caminos arrived today.

Nearly 400g

175X118X22MM

Enormous and heavy

Why didnt they just apply for the rights to translate and publish a German or french on.

Still, its mine now and I intend to make a little trolly and pull it behind me

You may save a bit of weight by just installing wheels directly on the guide. A light nylon line should allow towing.

Why not photocopy to your desired size and pages you require? You can then discard the pages as you go.
Or even scan to a stick file and print off the pages as you require. (Although that might be a bit difficult on parts of the Northern Camino, so don't bank on it. (This could be a resrve, as with other documents you may need but don't want to carry. e.g. I had my new camera user guide electronically, pdf of passport etc. 8GB of stuff for less than 40 grammes.

We received our guide yesterday and are impressed. Considering that it equals about 5 of CSJ's guides to the same routes it isn't that heavy if you were taking them all. Lovely photos, maps etc.

Photocopying is expensive, cutting the book up might be better - although we don't want to do that.

There is more about this guide here http://www.caminodesantiago.me/board/el-camino-del-norte/topic4254.html

Our own idea is to write in updates to our older CSJ guides and enjoy this book while planning.

I guess the best option will be the eBook version once it is available.

Available for pre-order here:

The specs say 196 pages weighing 13.4 ounces.

Amazon.com has a few errors there. It is a 320 page book, unless the US version is different. Also the Ferrol distance is 116kms not 87.

The write up on the amazon.co.uk site is much better.
