    Ryan Air schedules

    I am wanting to get to London from Santiago on November 2nd - or the day before if things don't suit, to connect with a flight to Australia at 22h00.

    Sun Compass

    In John Brierley's guide book he mentions using the sun compass which is marked on each of his maps. "should you become lost you will find a 'sun compass' to help re-orientate you".(page 41, under "maps and waymarking") I am really confused! :? I can see the sun compass he mentions on his...

    Light weight alternatives to soap, shampoo, laundry wash pow

    I thought people might like to look at this site - they have little, very light, containers of 'paper' soap, shampoo, laundry soap etc. Each box only weighs about 12gms - eg: the paper shampoo holds 30 papers - (enough to wash your hair 30 times if short and weighs 12gms) - much lighter than...

    Santiago to San Sabastian

    Does anyone know if there is a train from Santiago to San Sabastian? Or another way to reach there? Cheap, easy, fun? I am wanting to pick up a leased french car from SS (they don't charge a ridiculous fee if you pick up in SS due to it being so close to France). thanks, Jane
