Small (4-5 kg which is about 10 pounds) dog -- should I bring her?

I really wouldn't recommend taking a dog which has to be carried, rather than one that walks with you, and even then I'd think twice or thrice about it.

New detailed daily arrival statistics from Solviturambulando

It's possible that with today's fast-paced life people can't take four or five weeks off to complete the longer Caminos and so opt for a one week event. The certificate's the same. I had to wait thirty years for the opportunity to walk the CF as I just couldn't manage a month away.

Best 5 days

Got to be the Ingles, but from Ferrol, not A Corunna (I believe the latter's less than 100kms).

Santiago cake

I bought a set to take home but, foolishly, packed it in my hand luggage instead of my bergan. It was confiscated at the airport security search as a sharp item ...

Documenting the Journey

I marched the French Camino in 2013, after retiring for the third time. My family and pals asked me to keep a diary and share it en route. I bought an Ipad and found a programme called Wordpress which suited me as a novice technotype. I wrote it daily as a Word doc at lunchtime in bars and in...

I hated yesterday

Ahah! I've found a used copy (in vg condition they say) for £1.97. I now wish I hadn't read Al's initial message on this thread, this walk will gnaw and gnaw, I just know it ...

I hated yesterday

Kanga, I wish I hadn't read your comment ... I checked Amazon straight away for John Hillaby's book to find that it was selling for over £60!

28 December - New distances for earning the Compostella announced

Credential Ink fading

I've had my credentials framed and, after two years there's been no fading. However I specified the anti UV glass that one can get nowadays and also hang them on a wall that doesn't receive direct sunlight.

Framing Credential

Hi, I decided to frame my "concertina" credential so that both sides would be on display. To do this I had both sides of it colour photocopied on card. This card was also creased to give the concertina impression. I then had both sides framed by a professional using the special anti-UV glass...
