Yes you are correct.Villfeide should be 14.7km. I will wait a while before I change it in case there is any other typos.Thank you for this, most timely as I hope to be doing the León part in November. I think there must be a typo when it says Boñar to Vegacervera is only 15.5km? - Ender's elevation guide to León has it at 27.3km, with about 700m of accumulated height gain.
There’s a rumour Roger Daltrey was on the route at the same time. Is that so, omicko?That's great information Omicko. Thank you. Did you meet any other pilgrims on the route?

Hi Andrew, sorry for the delay. I met a Spanish Pilgrim in the last 4 days, he had spent 2 nights in Fasgar in the albergue due to a heavy cold. The last 2 days we walked together. He was in contact with Enderjace a few times by Texting as we walked.Cheers, Mick.That's great information Omicko. Thank you. Did you meet any other pilgrims on the route?
Andrew
Hi Caminka, by all means use the information. Cheers, Mick.excellent info, omicko, thank you! will be updating my guide in resources sometime in november, I think.
Well Pelerine,for me, your comment about the amount of work was very apt. It took me longer to do this than to walk the Camino.Cheers Mick.PS Have just looked at your info in more detail! Phantastic! The amount of work you put into this! Thank you so much for your effort!!!
Hiya James, I was told many times that Rodger Daltrey was seen in the same places and at the same times as when I had been there.Cheers, Roger.There’s a rumour Roger Daltrey was on the route at the same time. Is that so, omicko?
Hi Laurie, SORRY for the long delay in replying. I have rechecked all my distances and regarding the part of the Camino you will be doing these were my stages.So what were your stages, omicko? I walked this route several years ago, but hope to go back next year, at least for the part between Aguilar and Ponferrada. I remember a lot of asphalt that first day or so, and I won’t have time to start in Bilbao, so the second half will have to do. Can’t wait to walk the new mountain alternatives in the province of León that Ender has marked!
Hi Laurie, SORRY for the long delay in replying. I have rechecked all my distances and regarding the part of the Camino you will be doing these were my stages.

" WHAT'S IN A NAME? THAT WHICH WE CALL A ...."
Guadalupe and her husband Allan are the hospitaleros in the Refugio in the village La Magdalena and were extremely kind and helpful to me.Guadalupe has a separate job where she works 7 days a week. Alan has retired.The Refugio Is In what was the village school. There are three single beds. They were originally bunk beds got second-hand from the Albergue in Vegarienza.There were some parts missing so Allan had to alter them from double bunk beds to singles. There is a toilet. When I was there there was also a microwave.
I would be interested to know if any of you fellow Peregrinos, who like to do the Caminos less travelled, have any thoughts on my suggestion at the end of Post 17 about staying at the Refuge instead of the hotels.
Hola Maggie, I had already booked a flight to Alicante for the 21st ofHi @omicko I and two other forum members will be walking the Olvidado from Cistierna in May (having hopped across from the Lana). We will definitely be using albergues and refuges where available.
Many thanks for your guide which is proving most useful in my planning.
