3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
In 2013 my 25 year old niece met me in Sarria and we had a fantastic time walking into Santiago. I was willing to taxi ahead 25 miles (the day before) in order to greet her overnight train from Madrid arriving at 7 AM. So, be flexible, or your friend needs to be flexible.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Indeed. Depending on where you started.....trying to arrive in Sarria on a specific day would be rather akin to sailing the Atlantic and saying you'll arrive in New York at 4pm on Monday :)

Just be prepared to be flexible......and either end up waiting for your friend to arrive.....or more likely jumping on a bus to get there.
Which is of course all part of the adventure and quite acceptable ;) Just not in the final 100 :eek:
