Tall Ships Camino 2025

[nedspencer]

An adventure of a lifetime!!!

​

In June 2024, 36 pilgrims took part in the Tall Ships Camino Ingles – including:-

Walking a short pilgrim route in the UK finishing at Fowey, Cornwall

Sailing in a tall ship from Fowey to A Coruña in Northern Spain

Walking the Camino Ingles from A Coruña to Santiago



This voyage is now being repeated in 2025, for which there are two planned sailing dates, in May and September.

If you have any questions, get in touch for more details -- nedspencer@point-systems.co.uk

If you would like to book a place on one of the two ships, visit:

Drat! Can never get time off in either of those months!

This is really not for me, but would be perfect for Dear Spouse...

How long is the voyage from Cornwall to A Coruña?

How long is the voyage from Cornwall to A Coruña?

I went to the site... it's 7 days.

How long is the voyage from Cornwall to A Coruña?

It should be about 6 days - weather dependent

Thanks. I checked out the site too, but clearly I can't read.

I had to poke around a bit... there's a May journey, and a September one.

Yes - they say 7 to be on the safe side
This year only took 5 days as weather was kind

Here is short video of last year’s sailing
Further videos of the walks will follow on this channel

I wonder how feasible this would be for someone who would have to get from North America to England... like if bad weather were to mean that the trip couldn't happen... a local person could return home easily and take a deferred start date I suppose.
@nedspencer can you comment on that? I would love to gift this adventure to my sailing-loving spouse (I, alas, become sea-sick on a little ferry ride from downtown Vancouver to the North Shore). My concern is that something similar to Hurricane Kirk (early October 2024) could delay or cancel the trip, and a person travelling from North America has little opportunity to wait it out...

People from US took part this year

No one can predict the weather

But personally I don’t think you can decide not to do things on that basis

Sea sickness can be avoided. People who sailed on Morgenster this year will be able to give advice
