    Lessons learned along the way that are applicable for any Camino, not just The Winter Way.


    He’ll talk about a negative experience at an albergue that came recommended in John Brierley’s guide.


    The item he ditched this time that’s been with him on every camino up to now but won’t be any longer!


    He’ll drop a hack that could save you time and money on getting your baggage home too.


    It was an idea he had while walking and it ended up saving a lot of time and hassle, as well as money.


    The places on The Winter Way he’d recommend to sleep, eat and visit as well as in Santiago de Compostela itself.


    Exactly why the Camino Invierno is now up there as one of his favourite Caminos, if not favourite of all time.


    He’ll share a few enchanting stories from his latest camino that demonstrate how that famous Camino spirit is still very much alive and kicking


    Lastly, he’ll mention a few caveats about The Winter Way and what you really should know about it before you book your tickets.
