    Hi Mike, I live just down the road from you, in Nelson. I'm curious about flying in and out of Madrid, and how you got from there to SJPdP? I have gone via Paris and Barcelona, and each of them involves trains and buses, and, even, an Uber, to get there. I enjoyed your summary, by the way :)

    I'm thinking mid-May 2022, starting in SJPdP, but won't book any flights till much closer to that time. I'll be watching covid developments, both at home, and in Spain, for the next few months.

    Thank you! Thank you, John. On my first Frances walk I carried the Brierley but couldn't get used to the way the Way was displayed, and the book had far more information than I wanted (historical etc.) I bought a Michelin Guide which I love and have used all three times I've walked that camino...
