[QUOTE="Komatic, post: 335212, member: 11268"] Hello John Walking an unfamiliar Camino backwards can be very frustrating. The arrows only tell you where you have come from. After walking the Salvadore from Leon to Oviedo, I continued north to the coast going backward up the connector between the Norte and the Primitivo. I missed the route several times and more than once had to double back because the next intersection or trail divide had no arrows and then I knew I had missed something. More than once I was approached by locals who told me I was going the wrong way and I had to explain I was on a " camino al reves" or a "camino contrario" Sometimes I would see pilgrims going the other way but on the other side of a main road or other divide and know that once again I was not on the actual Camino. At least I knew I was going in the right general direction. From La Isla, on the coast, I then headed east to Ribadesella. Same problems. Very often there were several choices of paths to take, but only an arrow on the path by which I had arrived. On the other hand, I managed to do it and that gave a certain sense of accomplishment. Good luck to you if you try it. There is a fun quotient along with the frustration. I still laugh at some of my misadventures. Ian [/QUOTE]
