I like Dublin. I flew from there (after completing Kerry Camino/Dingle Way) to Santiago and then bus to Ferrol for Camino InglesOn my way from Dublin Airport this morning 45 mins delay at security. Traveling onto Ponferrada by train tomorrow.
Welcome to the "I don't Remember This Being So Hard Club!" That was my response to 20km days of totally flat walking on a camino in Belgium. It's been a while, and I think we may all need hefty doses of patience.Did not remember the walk into Villa França being so hard.

I've walked the Camino Frances twice and my two regrets were not taking the turn offs to both Samos, and earlier to Eunate.
I bet @VNwalking knows.Anyone know what the fungus? is on trees.
I don't know whiich one, exactly but I can say with certainty that that's a lichen, not a fungus.Anyone know what the fungus? is on trees.

WowIt is indeed a lichen.
It’s a great indicator of air purity … we have it on the trees in our garden, though not in quite the quantity shown on your photograph, @MickMac !
Wowdoes it kill trees it was every where on the climb to O, Cebriero we thought it was the end for the beautiful forests.
No!!
Lichens feed via photosynthesis.
They are slow-growing and are often not noticed until the tree is fairly old and its bark is not being ‘replaced’.
Also, older trees let more sunlight through; lichens need the sun’s light to survive.
They do not feed on the trees … the relationship between them is mutually beneficial
In fact, if you try to remove it, you’d expose the tree bark to pathogens!
(You didn’t, did you?)
Definitely not felt sorry for them in their prime, great knowledgeable update China.No!!

Mick - where do you land in Spain, and how are you then getting to Ponferrada? Looking at starting there later this year. Finding it tricky to get to if you've got any tips/insight.On my way from Dublin Airport this morning 45 mins delay at security. Traveling onto Ponferrada by train tomorrow.
Why did you choose not to go? Too far? Too tired?I've walked the Camino Frances twice and my two regrets were not taking the turn offs to both Samos, and earlier to Eunate.
No really good reason, but a bit of both...too far, too tired.Why did you choose not to go? Too far? Too tired?
