LIVE from the Camino Primitivo 7 Sept Start
Arrived in Oviedo this afternoon. Got my first stamp at the cathedral, and I have to admit that a little thrill of excitement ran through me when I saw the actual ink on the paper. Off to Grado tomorrow.- Flig

OBSOLETE COVID THREAD Airport transit in the UK
Yep, and UK transit requirements are still the same, at least as of 20 mins ago. Thought that testing still being required in England, even for a connecting flight where one does not go through passport control, might be pertinent to this discussion. I would hate to see a pilgrim all squared...- Flig

Planning on taking the Primitivo route this Sept. Practicing for the flat paved stretch around Lugo. Just finished a 25k walk, with pack and no trekking poles.

Mead (aguamiel) on the Primitivo
Does anyone have any experience with, or even finding, mead on the Primitivo? Ever the optimist, I am beginning planning for a 2021 camino. The primitivo appeals to me because of the rout’s history, physical challenge, and length. During my preliminary research I noticed that honey was one of...- Flig

Must Check My Ruck for Flight
A bit of a rant. Measured my ruck/backpack and it is about an inch too long to take onboard as a carry on. I really like my Osprey Kestrel men’s 48, which I bought with the internet of using it on the Camino Primitivo. I’ve had it for about a year and it is the best backpack I have used...- Flig
