I'm making a list as I go along and was planning to pm you with it once I get to SdC, rather than clog things up with a running commentary.I have tried to keep track of everyone who posted or mailed me suggestions for the Invierno guide, but I am sure I have missed some of you. If your name is not on the list, please let me know, because I would like the list of authors to be as complete as possible. Here's what I have so far:
Charrito, KinkyOne, ranthr, ozAnnie, Bad Pilgrim, Tincatinker, Caminka, Alansykes, sabbott, jlsalt, MJB, Omicko, Fares Ismail, Goran Larsson, MikeJS, chinasky, Bimblingalong, Freescot and Econodan
Getting close to completion, so I will be looking for proofreaders soon! Buen camino, Laurie

I know we were involved in a back-and-forth early in 2018. Not seeking approbation, but did I help?
Thanks

Goodness, the view from the Monte de Faro this morning was spectacular, with most of the clouds beneath one. But in yesterday's rain it would have been a different story. And quite a lot of snow on the horizon (Padornelo in particular, my usual entry to Galicia, looked very white) , so the Invierno's microclimate has certainly paid off for me.

When you're ready for proofreaders keep me in mind.
Hi, it's from the mirador of Monte Faro (just under the fire lookout station), and the building on the left is the Ermita de Nosa Señora do Monte do Faro.Wow, a beautiful view from the top. I have enjoyed days like those, when all four provinces of Galicia are apparently in sight.
Where is the picture taken from? I’mtrying to figure out what the road is and what that building in the back is.
!
I am afraid that you may be totally overqualified for our meager effort.I’d be happy to proofread, especially as I’m considering walking the Invierno next year anyway. (In case credentials help, I have a degree in journalism and have written style guides, been an editor for news services at Olympic Games level etc.)
@OzAnnie. I got the sense that for the two of you especially, the stages you decided on were too hard, and the guide didn’t do a good enough job of alerting you to the fact that a “typical” (“average”?) walker would not necessarily go with the stages you chose. In hindsight, or if you were to do it again, would you guys (Annie,I hope you are listening) do stages differently?
Laurie - if I do not see a response from Annie by Saturday I will mention this post to her when I see her at our Sydney Pilgrims Christmas gathering. Cheers
Just now saw the query from Laurie. I need to think about this and consult my notes and photos. A general note is that I would try to do shorter stages. However on the Invierno this is difficult because of the general lack of a well-developed albergue and hostal 'network.' It ain't' the Frances, or even the Portuguese...
I will be back with more thoughts...
Thanks, t2 —did you see how @alaskadiver has figured things out?https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...stages-for-april-camino-invierno-route.59121/
She does have one day with a 7 km taxi ride, but that could easily be avoided by doing the walk and train “trick” to Montefurado and back like @ranthr (I think) did.
BTW, I was thinking of saying something like:
Some experienced peregrinos who walked the Invierno this year found the “standard 10 day walk” to be more difficult than the daily kms would suggest. If in doubt, plan more days, especially if you hope to visit As Médulas and the castle of Cornatel.
@peregrina2000 , I think the walk from A Rua to Montefurado was the best part of the walk from A Rua to Quiroga! Very nice path down to Montefurado! May be it was the weather!Thanks, t2 —did you see how @alaskadiver has figured things out?https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...stages-for-april-camino-invierno-route.59121/
