    Luggage Transport - Why?

    Jacotrans and Correos. Very easy to use and reliable. Tip, do not leave anything of value in your pack. I know for definite my pack had been gone through at least once whilst in transit or before collection/post drop off.

    Niggling hates (dislikes) on Camino

    Scam - again..

    Sorry to correct you but banks in the UK do call you if they suspect a scam. At least First Direct does as they have had cause to phone me three times. A couple for small uses of my credit card which they caught and the third was a biggie. I asked what I could do to avoid this and they said a...

    Advice… please… 🙏🏻 (About starting time each day)

    The OP points to some people setting of at dawn, could I point out sunrise in June in Spain is around 7am, so not that early. Aiming for an 8am departure is not too late

    BBC "Pilgrimage" series 6 - North Wales Pilgrim Way

    Less than 85 miles over 14 days but they will still be taking buses etc. Hardly challenging. Yes, I know they are going slightly out of their way but they will be transported to "climb" Snowdon. As for the "pilgrimage", it was only created in 2011, as for the "celebrities, I am a Brit and I am...

    Credencial Question

    The OP says 42 spaces but the official one has 54. From this very website "The credential has place for 54 stamps. This is the Official Pilgrim Credencial (Pilgrims Passport) issued by the Pilgrims Office in Santiago de Compostela."

    What to do different next time?

    Oh and as far as "do different next time" would use them far sooner and more often

    What to do different next time?

    No need to be exclusive, use transport. We all have different views and issues, for me I have a degenerative spinal condition and after a couple of weeks the pain was so bad I could not go on. Thank you Jacotrans et al!

    A long (winding) road.

    I think most of us will know this descent. 19/6/2019. Never in the field of human endeavour has one cold beer been so welcome. (I lie, there was more than one, but you know how it is)

    New long-term French visa possibility for some UK citizens

    100% true. As you point out it could have been revised, it was not and now the decision is made it cannot be appealed. Your "what ifs" so not apply

    Electrolytes

    I got it straight off, I am so old!

    New long-term French visa possibility for some UK citizens

    According to the news there can be no appeal either,The Constitutional Council's decisions are final, because it would be, erm, unconstitutional to argue with them!

    Camino Wildlife (excluding escaped circus animals)

    I bow to your knowledge. We were quite high up and there was no obvious water around but I have frogs in my garden and the only water there is my water butt and they do not live in there
