hey everyone
currently in Sarria about to start the last leg of my camino. I started in SJPDP (and made it over Pyrenees with Orrisson and still high about it) and took 10 days to reach Irache. Following this I've been city hopping. I've discovered with my eyesight and other things I'm comfortable at 10 -15km stages, Anyway having a great time plus fantastic weather only 1 bad day which was my 2nd on the Pyrenees. So planning on arriving in Santiago for all saints day and i'll get around to blogging with my 800 plus photos once i'm home

I love it when I read about a pilgrim doing the Camino Their Way!! Good for you Sam!!!
Enjoy your last stretch and hug the saint for me when you get to the Cathedral!
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
It is good to hear you are having fun. I have observed that repeat walkers tend to walk more slowly. They seem to lose that spirit of being driven, and stop competing against artificially established criteria. I suspect it is a good thing, but I still admire the "driven" pilgrim!

Buen camino.

Falcon - nothing but respect for the "driven people =) esp there backs

My acheivement was a 20 km day yesterday to get to Santiago for today.

I ended up drinking last night with sagalouts at the Gozo bar and just finished drinking with him and a group of pilgrims who I met in Leon for one great night before i went ahead to Sarria, who I was hoping but not expecting to see in Santiago
