- Time of past OR future Camino
- A few and hopefully lots more.
I noticed an interesting point in the current CSJ e-newsletter: Pilgrims following the Camino Inglés have a problem. If you start at the most historic and best attested starting point pretty well of the whole camino, in the city of La Coruña, there are not enough kilometres to qualify for a Compostela. Pilgrims therefore are encouraged to start at Ferrol and thus walk just over 100km. The Pilgrim Office at Santiago however, has agreed that pilgrims who walk in England as part of their Camino, may count the kilometres towards their 100km. This may be in Cornwall on the St Michael’s Way or Saints’ Way, through southern England on the Pilgrims Way to Canterbury, on the St James Way from Reading to Southampton or Portsmouth. You would need to obtain a stamp or equivalent at your starting point and it would be good to have a stamp at either end of your journey onwards to Spain. If stamps are not available, one suggestion is to cut a logo from a church or council document and stick it on to the Pilgrim Credencial or passport, date it and ask someone to sign it!
Maybe most English pilgrim know this already - but I thought it was worth sharing.
