    LIVE from the Camino O Pedrouzo to Santiago - another wet day

    I put my hiking sandals snd “waterproof” socks on for the final leg to Santiago. If you’re looking to buy waterproof socks, do not buy Bottlestalk because they’re not. Ran into the blue mini bus only once today with 2 designated credential stampers taking their bus mates credentials into a...

    LIVE from the Camino 22 km from Rondriso to O Pedrouzo. Heavy rain and flooding

    When I checked the weather forecast last night and saw 70mm rain expected I shipped my backpack ahead! In my part of the world the weather forecasters call this an atmospheric river and I know the water is going to saturate everything shortly- even waterproof stuff. Even my rain poncho couldn’t...

    Last spot to catch a taxi after Orrison back to SJPP

    Short version: What is the last spot I could catch a taxi back to SJPP. If Orisson is full when I'm ready to book, I'd like to walk several km past, but I've never been on the camino, so I don't know the last place a taxi could collect me. Does anyone know that spot? It would suck if Borda is...
