St Marys, Cleland, Motherwell, Scotland

[Gerry McCulloch]

24 pilgrims due to commence Camino Frances starting in Sarria on 20/05/2020.....listen out for our bagpipes

 

[wayfarer]

Welcome Gerry and Buen Camino.

 

[OzAnnie]

that will be a great sight and sound in May...to see and hear the band marching towards Santiago and no doubt the arrival will be glorious.
Buen Camino

 

[AlwynWellington]

listen out for our bagpipes

Gerry, at the risk of being thought I want to stuff socks down your drones ... with my father being born in Edinburgh, dinna fash y'sel'.

I suspect getting up the first hill out of Sarria will knock the stuffing out of your piping on day 1.

And the pull up the hill out of Portomarin will do much the same on day 2.

Nevertheless, kia kaha (take care, be strong, get going)

 

[NualaOC]

Wishing you all a Buen Camino! How about a Scotland versus Galicia battle of the pipers/Celts when you reach Santiago?!

Hi Alwyn
I walked the Camino on my own in May this year and thus i'm fully aware of the brutal hills.....we are not a pipe band.....one skilled pilgrim is bringing his pipes but wont be playing them as he walks...so don't worry about us....btw I've never heard of your Scottish "words" except "dinna" which should actually be "dinnae"...meaning don't

First of all, Buen Camino.

Ordering a wee breakfast at Carfin, which is only a country mile from Cleland, I was baffled when
I was asked if I wanted "squirrel ink". Anyone want to make a guess what the options really were.

 

[Former member 49149]

Gotcha, have I? A square sausage?

 

[Introibo]

Ya wee cheekie lass!
Yes it was a choice of square sausage or link.
I went for the square, commonly known as Larne sausage.

btw I've never heard of your Scottish "words"

Gerry, my heartfelt apologies. I have never seen that phrase in writing, only heard it. And my hearing loss is atrocious.

I what I heard was intended to tell me "don't worry yuurself about it".

But I do seem to have whipped up quite a storm.
