    Move away from the toxic caterpillars!

    Ah we met some pine processionary ones - outside Melide, I think, a few days ago.... didn’t know what they were at the time... fascinating the way they move BUT thankfully our instinct was to stay away!

    Theft in Arzúa last night

    Agree whole heartedly @alexwalker The only place is the foot of the sleeping bag and keeping the most important things on you all the time! @nidarosa let’s hope they have a clear path for the next few days! Buen Camino

    Camino Frances - from Astorga

    Ah yes those two parts are the ones I will get to know as much as I can about beforehand - especially that the descent can be just as difficult! I will be studying the route more and getting hiking poles I think to help with balance too!
