Processional caterpillars are dangerous to humans and deadly to dogs - the hairs on these small creatures are poisonous/toxic at this point of their development and are inhaled by animals who sniff the caterpillars with disastrous consequences (for humans: just don't touch them). Usually found...
Hi David,
Great to see your post here on this site. I'm trying to get an article to you which I've written about my travels on the Breton chemins de st jacques de compostele. I also have a few photos for you to use if you go ahead and publish it. BUT - how do I get it to you. The email on the...
Why did other saints not have the same pilgrimage legacy befall upon them?
As other contributors have noted in relation to this question: a whole lot of saints DID have this legacy befall them. In the pre-Reformation British Isles there were many sites more popular than Santiago. The tomb of...
Just as (what I think) will be a final update on this thread: after two and a half weeks I have had no reply to the email I sent to the address which is on the side of the deck of cards that Davey has - so: it's the end of this particular "camino" I think. Thank you one and all for your interest...
Thanks for the info Davey. Also for the very kind offer to sell. I've email the Danish address you gave and will wait to see what they come up with. If nothing - the I'll get back to you with grateful thanks. The website address you gave is "still under construction" it says, but so far the...
Sorry, everyone! It's back to square one. Kathar1na is quite right (thank you, K!) - there are two differnt C.Bs and I have not found the right one. Her link to Facebook is to the right one but I do not use so cannot access Facebook. Presumably that might be a way to go for other people who are...
Go raibh maith agat. I'll be watching on Sunday! The Irish Society of the Friends of St James (aka Camino Club) circulated its members with this information this morning. It will be well worth a look.
Hey - I'm really impressed how quickly you get help here!! Thanks very much to the three of you. Yes Kathar1a, it's the 48 cards I'm looking for and your German Pilgino Shop site seems to offer the possibility to order. Thanks also to Peter F. I've gone for the site suggested by mspath: that...
When I was in Santiago, I bought a deck of cards created by the above-named (hope I got the spelling right). They had different paintings of the camino on them as well as aphorisms/quotations from the wise/words of encouragement. Is it possible to obtain the pack without going to Santiago?? The...
All the information from falcon269 is on the button. Good idea to get the Brierley guide mentioned - it's full of info and maps. Lisbon-Porto has the most road walking (but some wonderful historic towns) so maybe best to leave it out. If time is limited and the Saint's tomb doesn't have to be a...
