Is anyone else planning on doing this relatively new combo camino next year?
Sometime in the spring I will be going to Dublin with a peregrina friend I met on the CF in 2014 and walk 25 km from Bray to get a Celtic Camino certificate. Then later, not sure if it will be the next day or a few weeks later, fly to Spain to start from A Coruña and walk to Santiago for the remaining 75 km. I walked the Inglés from Ferrol this summer so I am looking forward to another Galician walk and a visit to Santiago!
@VNwalking likewise!!No, but I sure should be thinking of it! I'll be in Ireland for other reasons in late June and intend to go directly from there to Santiago to walk the Ingles.
Well. If this isn't an interesting little bit of information!!
Thanks, @nidarosa!
John, do you know if it's necessary to have the Irish 'compostela,' or is a stamped credencial enough? From the look of the websites, it sounds like one actually needs to have the certificate, which in my case would be a challenge to collect.It's true that to qualify for the Compostela you can walk 25 kms at home or in this case I'm Ireland
I will be in Cork and so was thinking of walking St. Finbar's Way. I am told it is gorgeous.
But I don't know yet; I would very much enjoy meeting up, Tim!

Great info, all and thank you Tim for the kind offer, I will let you know! We will walk the first part in Dublin because my camiga is staying there for one semester, and then on to Coruña either immediately or a few weeks later. Look forward to both legs of this camino!
Thanks, @wayfarer, but that tells me approximately nothing.Go n-éirí an bóthar leat.

I hope to go to St James’s church on Saturday and can check for you. They also state that at present they will accept any proven 25 km walk. Clearskies has posted a fine account of his walk with another Camino friend, from Bray to St James church in town, and they were not shy about getting “sellos” from establishments I wouldn’t ever have thought of!
my version: ge ny ree in bo her lat... don't shoot me, true Irish speakers!
That must be Ulster Gaelic.my version: ge ny ree in bo her lat... don't shoot me, true Irish speakers!
not far off the mark, but really just an attempt at sounding it out...That must be Ulster Gaelic.

What, are you kidding?!Well, if you two are meeting up, don't forget to include me!
To get you started, BRAY TO st JAMES CHURCH IN dublin Will cover the first 25k and a bit, so you would get your Compostela requirement. That accounts for two days. Then fly Aerlingus to Santiago, and bus or train to the start of the Ingles that will complete the requirement for walking 100k. So, day of 5 you start heading to Santiago and that gives you ten days to walk the balance. No doubt somebody with a greater knowledge can fill in the gaps, or you can yourself. It is a fine idea, and one I could pack away for another time, when I really retire!Any suggestions for an itinerary from Bray to Santiago, over two weeks, staying in hotels (my husband doesn’t do albergues), and averaging 10 to 15kms per day? (He might be interested .)

Wow, I did not know that! That means I have done one extra Camino and I did not know it! Even starting in Greystones along the railway line, a stunning cliff walk! I will try to visit you guys at Saint James' this ChristmasYes indeed, walking from Bray to St James church will provide you with an Irish compostela. There are a number of stops for sellos including Seaworld in Bray, James Joyce museum in Sandycove and Christchurch Cathedral in town. And if you are looking for more, pop into any church, post office or library and they will give you one.

HiVery true, sir. I shall have a closer look at the options, I need all the walks I can get before St Olav's Way!
and if you do stop in Sandycove you must swim in The Forty Foot bathing place , metres away , and one of my favourite swimming spots . I live 2 km from here so if you want local info contact me.Paddy@jsalt If you divide the stages and use taxis to get back to a hotel and then the next day taxi out to where you left off, you can even stay in the same hotels several nights, meaning less packing and unpacking (if that would help you persuade hubby). We intend to do the Bray-Dublin stage in one if realistic, but might decide to split it - apparently there is a James Joyce museum in Sandycove, so that might be a good place to stop and then start again the next day, and I'd like to see the Book of Kells as well, so two days sounds good. The same for the first stage of the Inglés, it is 35-ish km from Coruña to Hospital de Bruma, where the two Inglés caminos meet, and 1 km off trail is Meson do Vento, with hotel Canaima. We'll start walking from Coruña, taxi back to hotel for the night and to sightsee, then taxi out again and carrying on to Meson, where you can pick up the trail, no need to go back to Bruma. The Meson-Sigüeiro stage is 25+ kms and can also be split in the same way. There are hotels in or just outside Sigüeiro , and the next stage ends in Santiago. Two weeks would be lots of time to experience Dublin, Coruña and Santiago and everything inbetween! You might even want to walk Coruña-Bruma and then nip up to Ferrol to get a full set of Ingléses ... some lovely towns on the way.
The folks in stJames Association will help you with more precise route details if you email them. I think your idea of breaking into 2 days is smart, takes pressure off. Depends where your lodgings will be, you might be able to use public transport instead of taxis. I plan to do that walk myself, some fine day early in 2018! If you had more time, you could take a train to Wicklow, walk back from there to Greystones, along by the shore, about 17k or so and then next day from Greystones to Bray....but I am getting carried away.

Interested, yes, Free, no but will be interested to hear how it goes. Buen Camino!This Easter I hope to be walking from Wicklow Town, where St. Patrick first tried to land in Ireland at Travelahawk Bay and will be following a route to Glendalough where the St. Kevin's Way ends in the Monastic City. That's about 30Km, at least half of which will be off road on forest roads and trails.
Anyone interested in joining me? If you were mad, you might keep going on from Glendalough and walk St. Kevin's Way in reverse to Hollywood, from where you can get a bus back to Dublin.
Hi there, I walked from Ferrol to SDC last year, my first Camino and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had thought along similar lines, I believe it's possible to get sellos for your credential by walking the Pilgrim's way to Canterbury then walking from ACoruna to SDC, this is my plan for later in the year, maybe see you on the Camino! Buenos Camino xIs anyone else planning on doing this relatively new combo camino next year?

Then later, not sure if it will be the next day or a few weeks later, fly to Spain to start from A Coruña and walk to Santiago for the remaining 75 km. I walked the Inglés from Ferrol this summer so I am looking forward to another Galician walk and a visit to Santiago!
Bumping this thread with John's excellent suggestion. Why limit yourself?on the Emrald Isle there are hundreds of kilometres of pilgrimage routes http://www.pilgrimpath.ie No need to stop at 25kms!
A little bit of ingenuity, asking the police, or a solicitor, or maybe a church office - somewhere with a stamp, or a date machine. I have no doubt the St James Society in UK and also in Ireland will have helpful information to give. Guinness Brewery of course, also, in Dublin.Answer to @Robey is theoretically yes.
It is getting the stamps on the Pilgrims Way that may be more difficult than on the Spanish Caminos, and it is the stamps that you need to prove you have walked the 25km or more additional distance that you need to top up the A Coruna to Santiago Ingles.

My two 'stamps' from Ireland were handwritten, as no-one had an actual stamp. And it did take a bit of ingenuity to get those.A little bit of ingenuity, asking the police, or a solicitor, or maybe a church office - somewhere with a stamp, or a date machine.

Hi cousin John (fellow clansman) Just to let you know that I have an agreement with the Dean in Downpatrick Cathedral to ,when it is all in place, stamp credentials on the St Patrick's Camino, only another few bits to put in place. The other half sends her love probably see you around September and the next meal is on me.It's true that to qualify for the Compostela you can walk 25 kms at home or in this case I'm Ireland then walk the 75 kms or so from A Coruña.
