  1. Dickwilbur

    The Cornish Celtic Way.

    If you look at the guide it is broken down into 4 to 6 mile legs most of which end at accom which can basic. You need a sleeping mat for all the places you stay. I have a good one, blow up, got it off Facebook for about 30 quid

    The Cornish Celtic Way.

    Nope Today's I went to Lansallos church to do some sketching. Since our scribble in the visitors book in early mid June there have been 5 other pilgrim's. All the hosts will be delighted to see you and all were very friendly. Recommend you stop at Ludgvan which is 1.5 miles from the mount...

    The Cornish Celtic Way.

    You should have received it with the guide. Did you get it from the ccw website? If you e mail them they will also email you the list. In. Practical terms you can ignore the 14 or 7 days notice stuff on the accommodation list. Everyone was. Very relaxed about me ringing the night before. We...

    The Cornish Celtic Way.

    I wanted to bring this relatively new Way to the members attention. I walked this in the summer with a companion who was undertaking her first pilgrimage. It covers some rugged coastline, two existing pilgrimage routes and ends at St Michaels Mount. Almost uniquely for a British mainland...

    Live from Camino Ingles - the UK section

    I recently walked the Cornish Celtic Way. The last stretch, from Lelant Church via Carbis Bay down to St Michael's Mount, was marked as part of the Camino Ingles with all the usual signposts. Re accommodation, I can highly recommend this route in it's entirety as it has budget places to stay in...

    Feedback wanted on the Levante

    Tough, tough and, ummm, tough, but, some wonderful countryside. I was living in Valencia up until June 2022 and chose to walk it 'home' to the UK (long story). Whilst in Valencia I went out with the local Amigo's del Peregrino's, re painting the Flechas Amarillo, a very rewarding experience...

    Discarded face masks

    Last July before and after Medina del. Campo on the Levante the nests of Storks were flecked with little flashes of blue. Took me while to work out what they were. Pilgrim's, tourists, residents? What's the difference. I know I lost a couple somewhere on that camino, not stowed away properly...

    LIVE from the Camino OzAnnie -Camino Mozárabe de Almería to Mérida Start 28 Oct2022

    Hi Annie. Posting this on behalf of Shane from Plymouth UK who you met in Baena. As he told you, he doesn't do forums or social media but wanted to wish you well and he hopes your recovery is swift and that you can get back on the road soon. He's sat in front of me relating the latest...

    Stage 9 - Albacete to La Roda...some help

    I have not walked a lot of 40km stages, but I did this one and I think it is one of the least stressful ones of this length depending on the weather, I had a windless and overcast day in April. Either way, the Albergue is one of the more unique ones I have stayed in

    Peninsular War Memorials

    Was there last week, currently closed with work going on. No dates for when it reopens

    Peninsular War Memorials

    On the etapa that concludes in Salamanca on the via de la plata, you walk across the battlefield at Arapiles. No memorial but an interesting display board

    Misleading signeage on the Camino de Levante

    Hi Jean-Luc. There's 3 that are incorrect. In Santa María de los Llanos is it says so Toboso 13km. As you go under the autovia before Mota de Cuerva it says 8km. The last sign as you leave more, just before crossing over the autobus says 4km. It wasn't until I was at the top of the hill...

    Misleading signeage on the Camino de Levante

    Just done Las Pedroneras to El Toboso. El toboso is 10 km beyond mota del cuevo. The official signage, white signs on posts with gr239 on it at moats, say it is only 4 km. Whilst it is a great section to walk, there is very little shade and you will be there at the hottest part of the day...

    Return from SdC to UK by ferry from Santander - advice please

    I have always returned by ferry from Santander to Plymouth. Two reasons, I live in Plymouth and secondly and more importantly for me, I value the slower way as it helps me decompress. I shudder at the thought of the bustle of an airport and re integration so swiftly into 'normal' life. I have...

    Levante as of April 6 (next week)

    Day one. Lots of tarmac, the suggested stage of Valencia is a daunting 38k to Algemesi. I walked to Silla, got train back and then next time I got train to Silla and walked to Algemesi. There are options. There is a hotel in Almufasses at about 24k and there is a municipal albergue in...

    Levante as of April 6 (next week)

    If you're starting in Valencia, check out the pilgrims office near Jesus metro station, very helpful people.

    Buying Meindl boots along the Camino?

    I have just put mine in to a local cobbler in Valencia for new vibram soles in preparation for the Levante which I start in May. I had the whole sole replaced in the UK with a specialist repair company using original meindl parts but they seemed to wear very rapidly. The vibrant seem to last...
