Day 12 takes us to Santiago! Feels even hotter today to walk! We hand out a few of our badges to friends and head back to Santiago. The route and the city were very busy. We are looking forward to fireworks later. Jim is also looking forward to...
Day 11 takes us, I think 27km to Padron. Again, limited Albergue options so we headed for the municipal, aiming to get there by 1. Early start and another day of quick marching. We arrived to a queue at 12. Lots of scouts and a few other...
Day 30: Navacelles - la Vacquaire-st-Martin-de-Castries 27,7km
Surprisingly, I didn't sleep very well, despite a good mattress and the sound of the waterfall.
I didn't start particularly early, but luckily the Vis' gorge is deep and the sun...
Day 14- Combarro to Os Castaños ~17km (I think)
Today was another climb and the first day of three 90+ days (we have been blessed with mostly low to mid 70s), so we set out at first light to stay out of the heat. The hill was steep, but very...
Never noticed any smell with Merino tops either cheap or high end!
Before i walked i wore the same t shirt for five or maybe six consecutive days (i did shower 🤣) to see how bad they stink; they didn't!
Although I did wonder on the last day ;why...
I have several books on the subject but they are all in storage at the moment. I will admit they don't shed a light on what the Templars were in the reality of the times. An Amazon search on the subject will provide you with many sources, some...
We pumped out 30km today with relative ease. 6:30am stop, lunch in Pontevedra and arriving in Briallos before 1pm. Fewer photos but good to get done before the heat really kicked in! Less than 50k to do. Booked for Santiago £83 ouch. Glad we have...
Day 30: le Vigan - Navacelles 23,6km
I slept all through the night till 5.41, a solid eight hours, which is a rarity for me (unfortunately). It took me a while to wake up, but I was out the door by seven. I swung by a bakery then made a little...
Day 29: l'Esperou - le Vigan c.20,2km (yesterday)
(I was so tired yesterday I wasn't capable of even thinking, never mind coherent writing)
The night was mostly sleepless, and after about 3am super windy and stormy. But I was ok. The tent...
