It really depends on how much water you drink of course but it was July and I go through a moderate amount of water in a day. Had I thought about it I would have carried my water filter with me, that would have worked well on the first part of day one. It would easily have saved me carrying a...
Yes, both days I carried a full three litres of water and needed it, plus food for the day. Many have said it's 25 kilometers, myself and a Dutch mother and daughter both measured it at over 28 to Friol. Beautiful. I saw a total of four other pilgrims, not on the Camino itself but at dinner in...

Yes, I saw pheasant, hare and deer along the Primitivo too, no Partridge unfortunately. I only saw one hare but several deer on the Inglés in April last year.
It's not surprising that deer are an issue here in Germany as well, I have seen deer from my balcony in the empty lot beside me in the...
Yes, as I understand it it's rapidly becoming as big a problem for the UK as it has been for New Zealand for decades.
Whilst both Roe and Red deer are native to the UK the others- Fallow, Chinese water deer, sika and muntjac are not.
I recall reading recently that whilst there is a control...
Yes I have had a similar experience, personally I prefer to cook mine without the heads. My favourite recipe involves lots of butter, fatty bacon bits, onions, thyme, Bay leaves and a full bottle of red wine, which produces a very rich dark sauce much like you describe. Slow cooked over many...
As many of you will know the only mammals native to New Zealand are two species of bat. Everything else has been introduced by humans, the vast majority by Europeans in the last 200 years.
Because of the lack of natural predators a number of these animals - and a few large birds - have become...
There is no right or wrong answer to this.
But you asked "what would you do"?
The simple answer is: I'm there to walk, so I would walk.
What's 3 km more when you're going to walk 800.
Buen Camino!
@Mrna , you may not have realised this but if you click on the blue banner Camino Inglés (from Ferrol/A Corona) that the moderators have kindly installed for you above your first post it will take you to an entire sub forum which is all about the Inglés. There's loads of great information...

That of course as usual depends on a number of factors, not the least of which being budget. It also depends on the type of person you are. Are you somebody that always needs mental stimulation or are you quite happy sitting and relaxing on a beach. Do you prefer rural, a small town, or big...
I'd forgotten about this! Decades ago I had a French girlfriend and we visited her family for Christmas.
After several days her mother did exactly that, (chabrot). Initially the family expressed shock, she simply pointed out that I was like family and should be treated as such. Where upon...
