Just want to know if you still need 2 stamps a day for the last 100km if you've been walking from St Jean Pied de Port or would 1 stamp a day be sufficient?

Personally I checked their legs before issuing a Compostela - right leg paler than left? Good to go! (Usually)The rules are two stamps per day. Not difficult when there is a bar, cafe or Albergue once every 500 mtrs (oh, and the odd church or two).
There are many, many tales of this requirement being waived for those with sun-burn on the left side of their face, boots like a moonshine drinkers nose and a credencial that evidences a continuous journey on foot from France.
I like collecting sellos so for me two a day means I'm cutting back rather.
Maybe I need to start wearing shorts on the Camino.Personally I checked their legs before issuing a Compostela - right leg paler than left? Good to go! (Usually)

Here's a different sello-related question.
I will be travelling with relatives for a few days, and the itinerary happens to include visiting and/or staying in some places along the Camino Frances, including Puente la Reina, Logroño, Burgos, and Astorga. This will not be a walking trip.
Then I will have nine available days after the rest of my fellow travellers head home, and I will walking from Ponferrada to SdC. So, I would consider Ponferrada to be the starting point of my camino.
Like many others in this forum, I think that the sellos are fascinating and an appealing way to remember one's travels. Since I will have plenty of extra empty spots on my credencial, I have a temptation to collect some sellos in the above named places before Ponferrada.
However, I have a feeling that it might be, at the very least, "bad form" to collect sellos when I am not walking into town. Perhaps it could possibly even be seen to affect the validity of the credencial at the Officina in SdC, even if the last stamps are the required 2-or-more-per-day over the last 100+ km, collected while travelling on foot.
If I would be making myself obnoxious, or misrepresenting myself in collecting these stamps before the official pilgrimage start, I would just start stamping in Ponferrada, perhaps collecting more that the required daily minimum as opportunity arises. In this case, perhaps I could still collect some of the "pre-pilgrimage" sellos in my journal notebook instead of my credencial?
What say you?
Or stop and get three beers and forget your credential and start over at SJPdP! How cool would that be?!Just stop and have a beer and get a stamp and then get one where you stay. Not hard at all.
I don't believe there is any problem with collecting the earlier stamps on your credencial unless you are trying to sleep in an albergue or gain admittance to a museum for pilgrim rate. Just make sure to specify Ponferrada with the pilgrims office and continuous travel from there to get the distance certificate. To get the compostella, they only care about the last 100km.However, I have a feeling that it might be, at the very least, "bad form" to collect sellos when I am not walking into town.

So, what exactly does "Tinkerish" mean? As far as I can tell, everyone above used both terms correctly. There were a few mispeelings (including my fat fingers), but I never saw rite speeling on the cathedral repuirements.OK I’ll get all Tinkerish over this one. A “credencial” records a pilgrims journey to Santiago. A “Compostela” records a pilgrims compliance with the Pilgrim Office’s criteria for obtaining one. These two distinct documents are confused at the bearers’ peril.
