A treasure map...

[Robb Crampton]

Firstly, this is my first post so let me start by saying 'Hello' and what a great resource of information this is. Thanks to everyone who makes this happen.

My reason for posting, I thought this might be of interest to some people!
Fate is a terribly curious thing. I just stumbled across this amazing print, lying in a dark corner of a shop that I had no intentions of visiting, except I had 10 minutes to spare whilst waiting for a train at a station that I shouldn't have even been at. All this just days before I embark on my first Camino
What a great map and it only cost £5!

Welcome Robb, that map was a great find!

Robb,

Your newly purchased map is very attractive but alas it is a modern print designed in the 1970s by Daniel Derveaux depicting his idea of some possible routes of 1648. Read and see more about this here in Figure 5. It may not be accurate but it is highly controversial!! Now you have a real conversation piece.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. I didn't think it was an original from 1648
It will simply hang in a smart frame on my wall until the end of my days, as a great reminder (as if I won't have plenty of those to come!)

Welcome Robb,
Your avatar suggests your first Camino is the Camino Primitivo.

If I am correct, you are in for a treat!

Buen Camino

Thanks John.
I did originally think about the Primitivo but have actually finally decided on the Norte. But I still think I'm in for a treat

As a Norte enthusiast, I can guarantee you are in for a treat! You have the option to branch off on the Primitivo should it appeal to you, there is plnty of time to make your mind up as you walk along. Buen Camino!

Thanks!
In England I live near the coast, not far from many beautiful beaches and inlets. Therefore the Norte is pulling me towards it. I love the idea of walking the coast and then inland to SdeC.
thanks for the motivation,. I cannot wait for the next few days to pass quickly and finally I am on my way!
Buen Camino!

Robb, welcome to the Camino Forum. Your finding the map is what I see as a synchronicity. It's a great word with meaning that seems applicable in this case. ¡Bienvenido y buen camino!
