    Shortcut,day one on the Ingles.

    Regarding the alberque at Neda,I actually stayed in it last year and it was very nice.I think it must have been refurbished lately.And the journey on to Pontedeume was also fine. Sorry now that I poor-mouthed this alberque😞.

    Camino Ingles - Thoughts

    Hi,Marcus, shame about the weather but we had exactly the same experience last year but it was still great! I agree with all your observations (as another old git at 72) but age is definitely only a number to be overcome.After doing Sarria 2 years ago,my wife and I next did the Ingles last year...

    Camino Ingles terrain

    Walked last September.Plenty of rain.I do not like poles and did not feel at all disadvantaged wiyhout them. However,my wife and daughter both said they were glad they brought theirs. So make of that what you will. Thinking about it,that is not a very helpful answer is it? Sorry!

    Walking from A Coruña

    Hi,Nuala. Just finished the Ingles and was actually at O Meson Novo the same night as you with my wife and daughter. Very nice people at this pension.

    Al the Optimist has succumbed to the temptation of the Ryan Dare site

    The Black Country is the area immediately north of Birmingham in England's West midlands, which was described thus because of the enormous amount of black smoke hanging over the whole place because of the large number of iron foundries, smelting businesses and other manufacturing works which...

    Shortcut,day one on the Ingles.

    Is there pedestrian access between Ferrol and Fene across the FE-14 bridge? Ferrol to Pontedeume is too long and Ferrol to Naron is too short and I don't fancy the albergue at Neda. Thought the bridge route would be o.k. at about 15km.
