Hi everyone,
I'm sorry to have spent so little time on this board over the last 12 months. A new job consumed a lot of my time, and walks to Jerusalem and on the Via Podiensis (the latter just finished, with a group of high schoolers) ate up the rest. Now, though, I'm excited to start focusing on the Norte and Primitivo again. Laura and I are starting to compile updates for The Northern Caminos, and then we'll plan to re-walk all of the routes in the book come next summer.
Have you used The Northern Caminos on your pilgrimage on the Camino del Norte, Camino Primitivo, or Camino Inglés? Did you run into any problems that need attention? Do you have any updates that we should integrate? We'd love to hear from you. In lieu of re-walking, the only way that we can make the book better for other pilgrims is through input from readers.
Feel free to post here or message me. We'd be grateful for your assistance.
Thanks,
Dave
p78 - Portugalete - I thought that the moving sidewalks were before the centre of town not afterwards

Could not agree more. Going over El Brusco, that is the name of that hill, is simply dangerous. Glad I don't have a fear of heights. All guides should include the alternative which is to go around, and what the local tourism office recomends.@Dave the section between Santoña and Noja almost brought me to grief and the guide could give a warning. The difficulty was the climb up from the beach (Playa de Berria?) over the headland and down to other beaches before Noja. It's only a short section but it's steep and, when we walked, slippery and quite dangerous going up. We heard later of another pilgrim, a German guy, who had to be rescued when he overbalanced and hurt himself.
The moving side walks are lower in town then the metro station exit if that helps, but definately on the other side of the moving bridge.Hi hope you don't mind me jumping in, but I remember the moving sidewalks after the town centre after crossing the river on the gondolier bridge.

Or it could be that I thought the riverside area was the centre?
