    Sailing to Santiago

    Ah, Saint Mike, sadly it wasn't meant to be. Unfortunately the owners/ crew of the boat were very behind schedule and that, combined with a general lack of communication, meant that we had to scrap our flights to meet the boat in England. In the end it didn't sail until about 2 weeks later...

    Sailing to Santiago

    Thanks, Cherry and Nuala for your leads. I'll follow them up and maybe get lucky! If anyone else is interested, I suspect there are still spaces available on the Jean de la Lune. They're allowing 9 days for the crossing but did it in 80 hours last year and are hoping to beat that this year...

    Sailing to Santiago

    So I have a chance to sail on the tall ship Jean de la Lune to A Coruna, leaving Portsmouth on the 31st of August and then to walk to Santiago. At present the best option to start the trip is to fly from Dublin to Southampton to meet the ship, but I would really love to go using "no planes...

    Walking from the Midlands to Portsmouth and ferry to Bilboa

    Walking from the Midlands to Portsmouth and ferry to Bilboa

    Been away for a while... Thanks for the detailed info. So sorry to hear about your back. What a shocking and abrupt finish to your walk! It seems I have a chance to sail on a brigantine from Portsmouth to A Coruna in early September (not nearly as long a walk as I'd like in Spain but...

    Walking from the Midlands to Portsmouth and ferry to Bilboa

    It was a bit of long range planning (dream camino kind of thing :)) so I didn't actually ring them. Thanks for the tip. How long did it take from St. Malo to St. Jean Pied de Port? Were there reasonable paths/ accommodation on this section? I just finished reading "All the Light We Cannot...

    Walking from the Midlands to Portsmouth and ferry to Bilboa

    I was doing some research on getting from the UK to Bilbao a while back and it seemed that you couldn't go on the ferry as a walk-on passenger. Anyone know if this is true? Kind of defeats the purpose for me to have to take a car ;)
