Squirrel ink? Have I been so far gone from Kirkintilloch that I have lost...

@Varekai I walked the Ingles a couple of years ago. It's a great Camino. Starts by the sea, wanders up and down a river then up and over and up and over some lovely countryside. Couple of really nice towns to pass through. Arriving in Santiago is...
