  Really enjoying reading along. I loved walking through France when I headed from home to SdeC - (I was on the more westerly Voie des Capitales and Voie du Littoral as i am Irish)- but was amazed by the locals and the welcome I got. But food can...

  I spent the night in St Loup de Champagne with a lovely lady, who cooked a 5 course meal for me! It was St Jacques feast day, so it had to be celebrated! The road from Chateau Porcien to Saint Loup was not very nice. I mostly walked on the side...

  Thank you all! I made it to Rocroi yesterday afternoon. The road from Couvin to Rocroi was very beautiful on the Belgian side. Beautiful forests and really well kept paths through them. There was one part, high up above a gorgeous lake, that...

  Thank you for your reply. I arrived via the Primitivo and will be walking north to Ferrol so I won't have seen the route before. Then taking the FEVE train from Ferrol eastwards. I do have GPS tracking and gpx files loaded, but due to limitations...

  It can happen and dishonesty is sadly a human trait. For the recird, it's happened to me on an occasion, and I'm Spanish. In any case, you should always be given the receipt where you will see the breakdown of what you ate and drank. And if you...
