    I'm afraid, I didn't do it, maybe next year. It's still very much on my mind.

    My goodness, I definitely want to detour from that experience. I have had one similar cycling experience ( not on the Camino) when I was close to tears with exhaustion, another cyclist came from nowhere, like an angel, he stayed with me for about 5kms them disappeared as quickly as he arrived...

    Thank you so much for that little detour! Don't fancy pushing a bike with panniers up that ridge

    Thank you, I had a look at that app you recommended & it certainly does look very helpful. I don't like the sound of that ridge before Almaden de la Plata!

    Thank you for your information re VDLP. I have John Hayes book & have ordered the 2023 version of Gerald Kelly's guide to walking the VDLP. I'm sure I will have lots of questions in the next few months!

    Thank you for now but I'm sure I will have a lot more questions the more I investigate!

    I want to see & appreciate as much as possible, that's why I'm taking longer perhaps averaging 50kms per day. Starting early & arriving early. I'm 66yrs.. from Ireland..great with distance but not with speed

    Thanks for that information! I'm planning on perhaps 25 days or there abouts. I know some areas are quite remote, did you feel safe?

    Hi there, thank you for your reply. Did you rent your bike & the panniers? If so, Were you pleased with the bike rental? What company did you rent from? I intend starting in Seville too, best wishes
