    Thanks. That explains it. I’ll have to be more communicative!

    How to add a camino to the list under my avatar, and how to add a signature

    On a slightly different tack but still on admin matters, and not important, but I am wondering why I’m still called a new member, having signed up in 2016…?

    What is the most intimidating aspect of walking the Camino Frances on your own?

    Eating on your own in the evening! If you’re only staying in albergues this doesn’t really apply but, especially in the bigger cities where you can’t necessarily recognise fellow pilgrims, eating on your own in a restaurant can feel a little intimidating. However, almost always you start talking...

    Camino Inglés route

    I’m walking the Camino Inglés this September, Ferrol to SdC, but is it right that you can now get a Compostela after starting from A Coruña, as I’ve just read on gronze.com?

    Spanish Immersion and the Camino

    Hola Irenie, I’m actually doing exactly that, a Spanish immersion and walking week in the Pyrenees next month. It’s a small set up called Pyrenean Experience and sounds delightful, if a little challenging... They are in the Baztan valley near the route of the Camino Baztanés. See their website...
