In my 3 weeks on the Camino so far, I have leaned to take the Brierly, Wise Pilgrim, and posted distances as helpful guidance rather than scientific fact.Dearest Pilgrims,
Perhaps the answer is obvious to others, but I am unable to determine why Wise Pilgrim provides a distance of 767km from SJPDP to SDC and Brierley gives a distance of 778.5km.
Wise Pilgrim on the Napoleon arrives at Roncesvalles with 742.7km left to SDC while poor Brierley must walk 753.4km to reach the same destination.
Again, at Pamplona, WP is only 700.4km from SDC while unfortunate Brierley is 731.5km distant.
Does someone know why WP doesn't need to walk as far as Brierley? Seem unfair to me.
I think so!And I am very short. Does that mean more paces and shorter distance?

Must have know you were coming otherwise because we all know it should have been tunt pugsThere is (or was) a shop in Llanberis selling coffee and outdoor gear. Run by a New Zealander. On a shelf there was a basket of those long metal spiky things campers use to hold the tent to the ground. The handwritten label on it said "tint pigs".

None. That's why I didn't close the thread. That was a friendly reminder.It’s a friendly thread … where’s the harm?
I'm on the Mozárabe atm so can't consult the books you cite, but my first thought is WP uses satellite positioning and Brierley adjusts for terrain?Dearest Pilgrims,

Like Mr Google. 1.5km fairly flat. Lol. Lol.My wife calls these 'walkers lies'. She coined the phrase when we were walking the Milford track nearly a decade ago. When she asked a DOC worker repairing part of the track what the track was like ahead, the response was 'its level for quite a while' despite the climb we could see ahead of us.
I added at least one kilometer to my route by getting off the path for café con leche in every village.How about if while you are walking you constantly cross the camino thinking the other side is the shorter?
It is! There recently was a thread about privacy issues in communal dormitories, but can't recall where it was.This seems like a strange place to post this. There is another thread discussing privacy in showers active at the moment. It would seem this would be more appropriate there.
I walked the same general route and according to my GPS I walked 816km exactly. The difference being that in towns we walk to different destinations. Also, during certain stages I chose to walk an extra distance to see something of interest. Therefore, no two pilgrims wil have the same distance. The same applies to WP & PBDearest Pilgrims,

All the way down one section and back on the same narrow path, mine told me it was accurate within five meters. Yet when I displayed the trek on a map, the two paths were mostly twelve meters apart. And, due to the "wandering" you mentioned, I try to remember to pause whenever I stop. Usually, before trying to map my tracks, I run code I've written which replaces each position and time with the average of it and its two neighbors. Makes the map a bit more accurate except where I turned a sharp corner or stepped off the path.When I get back home, I will review my GPS tracks for a variety of relatively common phenomena such as rogue data points walking in cities with tall buildings and narrow streets. Doing this, I realised that my handheld GPS seems to want a social life of its own, and when I stop for coffee, wanders around all over the place. I presume it is looking for fellow GPS units to chat to and compare notes about where they have been that day. I found that it did anything up to 10% more distance than I thought I did.
The accuracy guaranteed by the USSF on the GPS constellation depends a little on what satellites are available, but it appears to be between 3.8m and 9.7m for 95% of the time. My only difficulty is that it seems this is the promise at the top of the troposphere, and my arms aren't long enough to get my GPS up there! It won't get any better than that on the earth's surface.All the way down one section and back on the same narrow path, mine told me it was accurate within five meters.
Hey!Dearest Pilgrims,

I think this is correct. As I got 1207 kilometers from Cádiz. Via Augusta VdlP and Sanabrès Way in 44 daysOut of interest I saw a distance certificate issued yesterday that has the VDLP from Seville measured as 1007 kilometres.
I went the Sanabrès from Granja de Moreruela. So from Astorga did you walk back or how did you join the Sanabrès?I went to Astorga and then along the Sanabres
I didn't mention that the 44 days are written on the certificateWhat they put the number of days you take now as well
Tint Pigs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!There is (or was) a shop in Llanberis selling coffee and outdoor gear. Run by a New Zealander. On a shelf there was a basket of those long metal spiky things campers use to hold the tent to the ground. The handwritten label on it said "tint pigs".
Just pointing out the distance markers placed by the government in Galicia measure down to the metre (that is, km with three decimal places).The measurements are stated in the guides down to the 1/10 which will likely never be accurate for anyone. Perhapsthis is why road signs are stated in whole numbers
They COULD go down to six places or even more and still be accurate. It's all a matter of finding the path that is that exact length.Just pointing out the distance markers placed by the government in Galicia measure down to the metre (that is, km with three decimal places).

Woot!!!!!!I would be a little reluctant to mistrust Brierley's distances based on his bio:
