    Finished!!!

    Well that is a. Walked into the Cathedral Square at 15.00hrs yesterday The whole place was buzzing with happy Pilgrims. It brings a lump to throat and a tear to the eye as you enter. Today I had the luxury of putting on my carpet slippers instead of my boots. I'm not even dressed yet and it's...

    What suggestions would you make to improve the camino journey?

    My suggestion would be to somehow install toilets to alleviate the wipes that are spoiling the landscape.

    A plea to all women on the Camino Frances: ‘Take your toilet tissues with you’!

    As a man I was wondering how to bring this subject up. Today on the Ingles I couldn't help but notice the wee stops en route. These were marked by wipes left in the beautiful countryside by, dare I say lady Pilgrims. Wouldn't it it be better for the environment to use paper and let it...

    Training Fatigue

    I would chill out a bit if I were you. Training indoors is falce. It's 29 degrees here in A Coruña and that's as nature intended. I don't know where you are but I suggest you get outdoors and train with nature. Does it rain in your gym? Well it does outside sometimes. Be prepared to see some...

    Good day.

    Now that's I call a hill with a bit of a pull. On the Ingles section from A Coruña. We arrived at Cafe/Bar Quintantas in Sarandones as the days bread was being delivered. Although she wasn't really open the kind owner made us coffee and stamped our passports. The Camino will provide. We turned...

    Thank you MaryEllen. We have our caravan in Santa Cruz and been into A Coruña to start from the church. But on our rest days we will return for a proper site seeing tour. The old town looks very interesting.

    Thank you Kirkie. It's a rest day today. Santiago is within out grasp now. Maybe 4 more days on the road and we will walk into the square in Santiago and feel very proud indeed. Next day out in the ' up' section to Bruma.

    Bruce and Margaret

    We have moved our caravan now to A Coruña. Two walking days out and we have made it to Sarandones returning by bus each day to our car. Different I know but we get our 2 selloseach day and we are having a great Camino. Couple of days rest now and then we carry on.

    A very "Ingles" question

    Some days on the Ingles we see lots of people and on other days just a few. So it varies. We have only used one albergue just to experience what an albergue was like. We have been based in our caravan on a site in Mino and used public transport to get too and from each days walk. Today we move...

    Pontedeume.

    Thanks everyone. Glad to say. I'm not daunted.

    Pontedeume.

    Was that it then!?!?!? The notoriously steep hill out of Pontedueme. For the last 18 months of training I have been dreading the thought of having to face rhe notorious Hill. It is steep I agree but not too bad. It took 15 minutes out of my life to get up. I thought the 2nd hill over the...

    Bruce and Margaret

    Hi everybody. We started on the Camino Ingles two days ago from Ferrol. We are ' slow strollers' as we are in our 70's. We hit the albergue in Neda in the middle of a Bread Festival. Not conducive to a good nights sleep when the bar is outside your window. Walk to Pontedeume was very nice and...

    I did. But this time I am walking.

    Where have you been 50 years ago?

    50 years ago my Camino was looming. A 5000 mile drive from Dubia back to Manchester UK. My next Camino is looming. My wife and I start to Ingles in a couple of weeks. Bruce and Margaret.
