Thanks so much! I can listen to this via the tv. If my memory is correct, this is the place of St Ninian, patron of my school. I always confused Galloway and Galilee when I was too young to know any better, and in fact I also had a perfect image of St Andrew pegged to a four sided cross somewhere down there as well... so let’s see where imagination and fact meet in this programme! ;)

It's on my to do list for the near future. I have visited the cave on the Solway shore which is adorned with makeshift crosses and the chapel at the village of the Isle of Whithorn (there is also a nearby town of Whithorn (very confusing). In addition to Galilee and Galloway there is also, nearer to you @kirkie, Galway. Ours is an area with strong connections to Ireland and people round here speak of Irish-Galloway names, expressions and customs.
 
Train for your next Camino on California's Santa Catalina Island March 16-19
For those members of the forum with a taste for cult horror films - and striking juxtapositions - Burrow Head at the Isle of Whithorn, yards from the St Ninians's Chapel - is where the final scene of The Wicker Man was filmed. Pagan alongside Christian as always!:p
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
'Ramblings' presented by Clare Balding will be broadcast on Thursday 4th October at 3pm on BBC Radio 4 and follows the Whithorn Way, a route in the South West of Scotland not far from me. For more information about this pilgrimage route go to whithornway.org
just in case anybody can access and would like to, I am replying so this hits the headlines! Once more, SEB, thanks for the notice. I will put on the tv right now and tune in to radio 4. then, an icepack for my gammy knee, and a g&t to help me through the pain... are you feeling sorry for me? don't! very temporary. Just fluid on the knee. RICE is the cure according to a locus gp yesterday. RestIceCompressionElevation. A lovely young man, as opposed to my usual very lovely lady doctor. He got a big tick of approval, and I told him in no uncertain terms, when he was waxing eloquent about the fact that there can be multiple possible reasons for any malfunction... as we are a whole unit (imagine capitals, as they are not allowed). Such a refreshing approach, instead of the caricature of the surgeon who never sees a person, only a limb.... obviously I am digressing. Now to get settle in to await the transmission. Have to complete making a pot of courgette and pepper soup first....
 
I kind of fell asleep... so, what next? Maybe somebody will walk the Whithorn way, or has already walked it, and will fill in the gaps! That's the trouble with sitting down with the feet up...
http://whithornway.org/route.html. I counted up the distances in my head, and it comes to 236.54km. The last part was a google effort, miles to kilometres. The coastline is stunning, a match for the Antrim Coast in the North of Ireland.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
