    Hi folks, i know this is a bit of a daft question but just to be sure......does anyone know for certain where I can get a credencial in Astorga? I'll be starting there and would prefer a spanish credencial over the CSJ one. (Especially as the CSJ one will effectively cost £30 for...

    Anyone walking September 2008?

    Hi all - just sorting out my Camino Lite: Leon - Santiago and if at ALL possible... Finisterre. Would make it a hard slog (or possibly one day bussing part of the route to save time) but worth it. Unconventionally i'm not going for the Compostella this time but the Fisteranna would be very...

    Slightly different boots question

    Hi all - it seems like the answer to the "what type of boot/shoe" question is really what works best for the individual...however.. I'm curious to know what people think of Gore-Tex for boots? Seems to me it could get a bit sweaty with it, especially in leather boots (which i'll probably go...
