I can find a Renfe Gypsyy train that goes from Ferrol (3 changes ) to Porto - but without knowing what type of train it is - I don't know if I can take my bicycle! If it is a regional train - it is fine (if there's room) but if it is a fast train I can't... But there is no information on Renfe...
Next Saturday 4th March there is a pilgrim meet-up for old and new pilgrims - at Dart's Farm, near Exeter, Devon, 2 miles from M5. postcode is EX3 0QH.

A chance for newbies to ask questions about kit, routes and albergues!
And for...
I hope not too many pilgrims were planning to travel by ferry (supposedly better than flying i thought...) to Spain or Portugal.....
We cycled from Lisbon to SdC many years ago.
But - recently I tried to book the ferry from the UK to Spain to do another cycle trip (down the rest of the...
there was a thread about what companies sold ethical outdoor clothing - but it disappeared...
Paramo is a good company - they source ethical materials, make clothing well and recycle it later. But it is expensive. You can sometimes pick-up seconds or used Paramo items on Ebay!
I try and buy...

I am just back from creating a cycling route along the Michael Mary Pilgrimage Way.
The whole route goes from the tip of Cornwall across England, through such interesting/historic/sacred places as St Michael's Mount, Brentor, Glastonbury, Avebury, Beacon Hill and Bury St Edmunds, as well as...
Just found this website http://britishpilgrimage.org/where/great-routes/ which has many routes of pilgrimage, long and short in Britain. Some beautiful walks which had me longing for spring and better weather (just a tad warmer for camping, surely..!)
It is an interesting site with lots of info...

We are walking from Mouans Sartoux (where we work in the winter) towards Arles on the GR653A next week. We will camp most of the time (our dog prefers it!) but if anyone knows of any albergues/haltes or friendly accommodation en route I would love to hear about it! Also any places that we...
