Morning all
When I came through Santiago airport last year we were able to load hiking poles in the hold free of charge with Ryan Air
.
Has anyone used them recently and is this policy still in place
.
Thanks Mick
I’ve not done the sums. But I work on the basis it is cheaper for me to fly to spain and walk than it is to walk the South West Costal path. It is such a shame. But the cost of accommodation and living expenses becomes prohibitive Mick
Hi. - has anyone taken the train from London to Santiago - my son is scared of flying - so this looks the best option (or drive via Ferry)
From what I can see the route looks to be:
* London Paris
* Paris Madrid
* Madrid - Santiago
Thoughts welcome.

Your 'why not' question is great.
.
I plan to do my next camino at some speed (for me) next week but am wary of talking about it because of a common view that it may not be a 'proper' pilgrimage!.
I notice that wiki suggests a pilgrimage as 'a journey, often into an unknown or foreign place...
Reading a blog recently - one of the hikers was talking about his use of mens hiking skirts. When he listed the advantages they seemed really interesting.
I wonder if any men on the forum have used these (and I am conscious that a Kilt may fall into the category)
With a SJPP start next week...
Can anyone tell me what happens if we test positive in Santiago before flying home Is it simply a case of self isolating at a hotel and then a retest at a later date ?
cheers
Mick
