    A long (winding) road.

    A long story cut short, when I got to the turnoff from the road on the Napoleon route I kept on going on the road rather than turning off with everyone else. I walked around the eastern side of that hill that is there (Redoure de Leizar Atheca?) and then to Arnoztegiko Lepoa which is a lookout...

    A long (winding) road.

    Nearing the top of the road from St. Jean, prior to the turn off for Roncesvalles. May 2019.

    Where to go after to relax

    And fabulous Pohutukawa trees, especially along the beach frontage.

    O Cebreiro to Triacastela - main or alternate

    I have walked both paths that you referred to. The one to the left over the hill was definitely nicer but, in 2019, was what finally broke me. As you said, it is only a small hill and not at all a big deal but I had managed to catch Legionella back in Sahagun without realising it. I thought...

    Should I bring my own Mercado bag?

    I take my trusty Bunnings shopping bag https://www.bunnings.co.nz/bunnings-compact-bag_p8510165?store=9491&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwwYSwBhDcARIsAOyL0fg1KJcU7Ixe-_f8jUOO_-uvtGUN7vFHJUars3tPQ2erbLtCydUJ8hEaAuMiEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Doesn't crinkle and wake sleeping pilgrims, lightweight and has...

    Personal emergency location beacons in France

    Something similar happens here. As these devices have gained in popularity some individuals from within ANZ have personally imported PLB's from the USA because they appear to be cheaper than PLB's sold here. However PLB's designed for the USA are associated with a USA country code and, if...

    Personal emergency location beacons in France

    I am not disputing what you say but I am curious about how they would enforce this? If I buy and register a PLB in Aotearoa New Zealand then regardless of where I am in the world when I activate the beacon the notification from that activation will be sent "directly" to the search and rescue...

    Desktop Computer Availability in Albergues

    Best idea, from my point of view, would be to do a voice recording rather than typing. Then either use voice to text conversion or leave as an audio log.

    LIVE from the Camino A Sketchers Camino Madrid

    Or the train, which is what I used.

    Problems with booking Renfe trains

    Look for the USA under Estados Unidos, i.e. under E in the drop down, not under U. You are on a Spanish website ☺️

    Where is the most reliable accommodation information?

    You could be that reliable source for people who are following in your footsteps. Rather than asking, you could be providing ☺️

    Where do ( did ) you walk locally in 2024?

    Towards Chelsea Sugar Works (pink building) in the far distance, close to the harbour and then along the inner harbour track. A Tī Kōuka (Cabbage) tree in flower in my neighbourhood. Today was a stunning autumn day with a crystal clear blue sky. My Chilean Guava tree fruit are...
