Recently, I’ve been regularly scrolling New Posts looking for members posting “Live From The Camino Francés”. Strange that there are so few threads. I’m enjoying Lindsey’s posts and photos, but where is everyone else? I’m feeling deprived!
 
Altus Poncho (ATMOSPHERIC H30)
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
I started 2nd May and am now in Villar de Mazarife. Some others who like me are taking a steady 20km/day avg. plus some sight seeing days are also here. The young, fit and beautiful ones who started with us old cronies are now about 100km ahead.

We're in the Fisherman's Lodge, in Ambasmestas. It's very hot and we've walked 34.5kms today. Walk up to O Cebreiro tomorrow. Reccomend this albergue. Got twin room in a row of wooden chalets. Big garden and a pond. Clean and reasonable.

2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
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.

When I walked CF from SJ to Santiago in September/October 2016 I can say from start to finish I met and spoke to whilst walking or over a coffee/beer etc as little as 15 Brits. Didnt bother me in the slightest of course, had the pleasure of meeting folk from all over the world. The Group of friends I did make we adopted a house rule, no phones at the table as quite rightly many found it unsociable.
Horses for courses as they say.

Despite living pretty close to the Caminos we Brits are a surprisingly small % of the total. Way outnumbered by Americans. Not that far ahead of Korea and Ireland: a surprise given how far distant Korea is and how much smaller the population of Ireland is. These figures come from the 2019 statistics summary.

As nice as it is to get live updates from the Camino its far more more important that you savour the experiences and not be stuck on your phones. I used to do the odd social media update after 10pm lock down and nights out before I drifted off into a well earned sleep.
