    Fire Safety in Albergues

    The outer front door is solid wood, this door isn't it.

    Fire Safety in Albergues

    The front door was definitely locked in 2014,I think it was 07.00 when it was unlocked. I was also there in 2015 and 2020 but left later so don't know if it was locked or not. I would add that there were plenty of illuminated fire exit signs in the building,some leading to that courtyard area.

    French Camino movie - Saint Jacques la Mecque

    I have the dvd but unfortunately,for me,without the English subtitles so didn't fully appreciate it. Now that I've had a reminder I shall watch it again and hope that by some miracle my grasp of French has improved.;)

    Would it be worth it to photograph the whole Camino Frances

    For what it's worth,I've walked over 3000km on caminos and never taken a single photograph but then, I guess,I'm not the only oddball on this forum.;)

    Disappointed

    Don't shove it all the way down to the bottom!

    Disappointed

    Please bear in mind that it is not unknown for thieves to slit the bottom of sleeping bags to steal your valuables.

    Doing It “Our Way”

    I'll drink to that!

    Southern Upland Way

    I live quite close to the Western end of the SUW and,over the years,have criss crossed it many times whilst doing other walks in the Galloway Hills. In September 2019 I decided it was time that I had a go at it and walked from Portpatrick to Beattock. Day one was the only decent day weather wise...

    Has anyone done anything 'new' since lockdown?

    A friend unloaded his set onto me a few years ago. After 15 or 20 minutes of Michel droning on I would doze off,maybe it's just me. Good luck!

    Eurostar

    I travel down to London by National Express overnight (no trains in this part of Scotland) spend the day sightseeing and then spend the night at the St.Pancras YHA which is just across the road from the station. Perfect for that early start,the train that I get departs about 0540.

    Eurostar

    Currently passport control is in St. Pancras station but next year your guess is as good as mine. I have made the trip 3 times,most recently in February this year,and have always arrived at Montparnasse in less than 30 minutes from leaving the Eurostar.

    Gradient from SJPP to Roncesvalles

    Route Napoleon always closed when I walk from SJPdP so I have to take Valcarlos route which is probably no less strenuous.Have walked it age 66,67 and this year 72,it's an invigorating days walk nothing more.

    Alternative route to Santo Domingo de la Calzada?

    I had planned to have my birthday lunch there in March but it was a Sunday and absolutely packed out so I had to make do with an "al fresco" at the picnic area.

    Another British Pilgrimage

    Just checked my 2014 South Downs Way diary. Managed 3 pints in The George,Alfriston,on a very warm June day.

    Pilgrimage in England: Winchester to Canterbury

    I love Lindisfarne but haven't visited for several years,my avatar picture shows part of the abbey from my last visit.I'm hoping,maybe next spring,to walk the eastern half of the Southern Upland Way from Beattock and then from Melrose take St. Cuthberts Way to Lindisfarne. I have a Radical...

    Rucksack Alternative

    I couldn't agree more David. As the owner of a Radical Designs Wheelie V,which I have used at home in Scotland and on camino in Spain,a two wheeled hiking trailer is the only sensible way to go.

    OBSOLETE COVID THREAD All public Albergues in Galicia (Xunta) closes

    I reached Burgos just as the albegues were all closing on the 12th and was lucky to be given a bed.I am now in a very nice hostal in Santander until the ferry leaves in 5 days time.I have cut my stay in Spain short by a month.In my opinion anyone thinking of continuing with their camino is both...
