Just a couple of weeks before I arrive in the frying pan of Europe to start my nobo hike to Santiago. I orginally thought waiting until April would be best for the warm weather, but as I sit here sweating in Valencia with temps pushing 30C, I am starting to wonder if it will be too warm!
Anyway, the point of this thread is to see which guides and information people have used while on the VDLP?
Having only walked the CF, I am use to the very good Breirley guide for company, but there is no such edition for this route. I guess that might change in the future as it becomes more popular or maybe an opportunity for someone else?
So far I have...
- SYates very good notes (made into a nice format by another pilgrim, apologies cannot find thread with reference)
- Eroski Camino APP
- Silver Way APP (basic and just purchased the premium version)
- Free PDF guide from viadelaplata.net
- Orux maps, but would be nice to have the route e..g the .gpx file?
I am thinking this might well be enough, but I am wondering if I have missed anything good? My bag will be at such a weight that I do not want to carry any books, so looking more at Apps, pdfs etc. Happy to pay as well. I am tight, but not that tight.
