Hi,
With 'only' 225 sleeps to go till our next Camino, I'm starting to re-read guidebooks and think about where we might stay this time. Whilst I am happy to just 'wing it' I need to be prepared like a Camino Encyclopedia if my dearly beloved says. Can we stop in an hour, is there a village up ahead. Or 'look' a sign to........ is that a nice place to stay?
Snap answers are required here folks, no fumbling for a Guidebook! I thought you walked here in 2015........You should know! Get the picture?
And before you say it......
Yes I know Guidebooks are ONLY a guide
And Yes, Don't plan too far ahead because plans will only last a day
And....Don't stay at Brierley 'end of stage' stopping points
etc etc....
I like to take a couple of Guidebooks with me for evening 'next day' planning, and it makes sense to have the most up to date.
I use Brierley and Miam Miam Dodo.
Does anyone know roughly what month updates tend to get published?
I have 2014 versions........
Now I confess that I don't actually 'carry' the Guidebooks.
I scan them and have them on my phone.
Though I do cut out the front cover of Brierley to have a hard copy of just the stage maps.
I jot notes on that.
Brierley I like for the:
Miam Miam Dodo I use for:
So I'm looking forward to updating them both, but not just yet if new ones might be published in the coming months. Like before mid March.
Any idea of publishing dates?

Brierley I like for the:
- Clear stage maps showing distances' fonts, village amenities etc.
- Elevation map that also gives distances to the next villages.
Miam Miam Dodo I use for:
- The accommodation listings. That's it.
