    Brierley Errors in Invierno Guide

    Firstly, I have used John Brierley guides since my first Camino in circa 2010, and have always had the height of respect and appreciation for the guides and their contribution to making Camino’s possible for a wider community. As an aside, I am also proud that was is a fellow Irishman. I put my...

    Brierley Errors in Invierno Guide

    That is my intention, The reason for my post is to try and get the word out before the Guide is posted. I plan to also advise the Invierno Pilgrims Office in Monteforte on the error.

    Brierley Errors in Invierno Guide

    We are walking from Monteforte to SDC. We are using the Brierly guide primarily for route planning. A great book but unfortunately we have come across some errors that could affect pilgrims planning for a section. One is subjective but the second error is simply wrong information. Brierley...

    Invierno to SDC rather than Sarria

    I also meant to give a big shout-out for the spanking new Invierno Pilgrims office in Monteforte de Lemos. We had it to ourselves and the full attention of Fran who runs it who could not have been more helpful on details of options.

    Invierno to SDC rather than Sarria

    Started in SJPDP in mis-April. At Sarria we took a 30 min bus ride to Montforte de Lemos to finish to SDC via the Invierno route. Two days in and at Rodiero and the difference with the CF from Sarria is profound. There are circa 10 pilgrims in the Hostal this evening. It’s not every bodies cup...

    Luggage Transfers on Via Francigena

    Next Spring my wife and I are planning to walk the Via Francigena from Lucca to Rome. We plan to arrange our own accommodation. Can anyone advise if there are companies who do luggage transfers, as can be arranged on the Camino Frances for example. Some contact details would be appreciated if...

    LIVE from the Camino Feels Unpleasantly Busy on the Camino Frances (May Day, 2024)

    I’m not sure yet. I Im not sure of the bus details. I just went into Romet I think I found that there are a number of busses on Rome to Rio. I could be wrong but I think they are Monbus.

    Osprey Rucksack Belt Pocket Zips

    Like a huge number of pilgrims I have an Osprey rucksack (EXOS 38), which is one of the best packs I’ve had over 40 years hiking. However, is it me, or a design fault that re-zipping the belt pockets closed while wearing the pack almost always presents a challenge, vs how easy it is to open. Can...

    Stomach Bug on Meseta

    I felt bad as I sat down to dinner in Fromista when it manifested itself so got it earlier.

    Stomach Bug on Meseta

    Thank you all for your considered responses. Perhaps (and hopefully) these instances are just coincidence. However, I’m quite sure these posts will be informative and a good advisory for Peregrinos on avoiding the similar health issues. My illness free compatriots, two of whom are medicos...

    Stomach Bug on Meseta

    Including myself, I have heard of a good few people are experiencing Gastrointestinal issues between Burgos and Ledigos. Anyone else find this and is the situation wider than this area.

    LIVE from the Camino Feels Unpleasantly Busy on the Camino Frances (May Day, 2024)

    We are on the CF since 16th April. Our plan is to take a bus south for circa 30k from Sarria to Monteforte de Lemos and do the last 6 days on the Invierno and thereby avoid the busier Sarria to SCD section. Having said that I think the Sarria to SDC has a different but enjoyable vibe to the...
