back on the Frances in May 2022
Hi all

Just a quick question. I did the Frances in 2016 and am going back in 3 weeks. I used the Brierly guidebook then and wondered if it’s changed a lot in 6 years.

I’d like to take it with me again as it has all my notes from 2016 in it. I thought it can’t have changed much but just wondered.

Cheers
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Take your guide book with your notes. You can use the Gronze website or an app for up to date info about albergues and other accommodations.
 
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.
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Take your guide book with your notes. You can use the Gronze website or an app for up to date info about albergues and other accommodations.
Thanks Trecile
 
Certainly some are the same, but albergues added and others closed. If you have time you might order a newer version for the updates.
Cheers J Willhaus. just wanted to use my old book and notes to remember what happened all those years ago but maybe getting the 2022 version may be best. I'll think on it. mark
