  1. The Cumbrian

    Free Trekking Pole Available in Oviedo Today or Tomorrow Morning.

    I'm back in Blighty now. I left the trekking pole by the railings at the cathedral entrance.

    Current volume of pilgrims on Salvador?

    I stayed there two years ago and the food in the restaurant was very good.

    Current volume of pilgrims on Salvador?

    It looks like we all took advantage of an amazing weather forecast. I arrived in Leon on Sunday to torrential rain, but it's been beautiful since then. Some of the pilgrims I met had delayed starting due to the weather, so that possibly explains it.

    Current volume of pilgrims on Salvador?

    I've just finished the San Salvador (I'm in Oviedo now), and the albergues in La Robla and Poladura were full on the nights I was there. The private albergue in Llanos de Somerón was less than half full (it's a fantastic albergue too, i highly recommended it). The weather has been incredible...

    I'm in Leon and I'm starting the Camino San Salvador in the morning. I was going to buy a trekking poles today, but it looks like all the sports stores are closed. Can you buy trekking poles in the Chinese shops, or anywhere else on a Sunday? I'd rather not wait until the sports stores open at...

    Is Madrid Chamartín Station Open at Night?

    I spent the night in Manchester Piccadilly once in the mid 90s, and it was eventful. I'd been dropped off there after a few months abroad on my first overseas job, and when I went to the cash machine I discovered that I'd forgotten my PIN. I couldn't get my dad to buy me a ticket over the phone...

    Is Madrid Chamartín Station Open at Night?

    I'm flying to Madrid on Saturday evening, and then catching a train from Madrid Chamartín early on Sunday morning. To those who have been to both, is it better to spend the night in the airport or the train station? I've slept in both many times over the years, and airports are always more...

    It's one of my favourite things, I make it at home too.

    Is it possible to walk the camino primitivo as a vegetarian?

    I had no problems last year, and never found the food to be repetitive. I ate the typical peregrino mixture of albergue meals, restaurants, cafes, shops and market stalls (if you're lucky enough to be passing through Grado on market day you're in for a treat).

    Pilgrim Police

    I wish I'd known that, I was chatting to one of them on a quad last year on the Primitivo.

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    Could you post a pic of the stamp from God's House Tower and your completion certificate please? When I was there (less than a year ago) no one knew anything about either and I didn't get one.

    St James Way: Reading to Southampton

    I've noticed some hand-painted yellow arrows which were not there when I walked it last year, so hopefully the way will be easier to follow with fewer gaps between markers. Buen Camino.

    Are Albergues Open Over the Christmas / New Year Period?

    Thanks for that. If Galicia's going through a cold / dry spell, the Ingles is on the cards for me, followed by New Year in Santiago.
