I didn’t anticipate so many questions about my VF. Given I’ve only been home 1 month after being away a total of 7 months, then Christmas I’d ask that you give me a couple more weeks to post a summary of my stages, accommodations, daily distances...
Ah, General Melchett ... this quote reminded me of the cunning plans. Perhaps even the cunning plans for Sarria to Santiago? For those in the know:
