    Medical Insurance

    I too am from the UK , and walked the Camino last year, got my EHIC (not really adequate) but did take additional insurance for a pre-existing condition with PJH in Sussex adventure/sports insurance specialists - very reasonable and worth the peace of mind - approximately £90 for 5 weeks

    Grade of ascent out of St. Jean

    ah that was what I found myself on yesterday's training, lost on Dartmoor at one point couldn't go up or down - quite ridiculous - still back now and none the worse for wear except I regard yesterday as cross training!
