Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela

[sillydoll]

Ivar, I'm sure it would be interesting to have a large wall map with pins in all the places your badges have gone to!
The fellow who owns the sport/outdoor shop in Sarria asked me for the CSJ of SA badge to add to his map in the shop. He has pins/badges from all over the world on his map.

PS: We saw ALTUS raincoats in his shop - I bought a really comfortable pair of ALTUS CoolMax socks there with padded heels and toes.

Badge arrived a week after Ivar posted it!!!! Already on my pack. Only 16 more sleeps

Been away so haven't been able to get to a computer.

... I added the map here (at the bottom):

The pins are set in the towns of the badge owners, not at their actual address

That's a shame. Other way you could have another pin in Poland;))

And that's the result of 90 minutes of work:)

Starting 19aug in SJPdP- see you there!

Hi Ivar,
Tried link to buy badge but every time I get there my computer freezes!
Can't I just send a euro note to an address?


Best wishes
Paul Spencer

I will send you a PM with my address.

Seems like I will have to order another one from you, as I have just bought a new backpack. The previous one 70+10litres would be too heavy, but still useful in other walks (and still representing our forum).
Take care everyone!

The badge looks very good. Well done!

Got mine couple days ago - look sgreat...sewed it on to the water bottle pouch at the side (dont trust the glue enough and wouldn't dare sew things into the main body!!! ) Looks good though - now it needs to be camino'd!!!

THank you Ivar!

My lovely Pilgrim patch arrived! Thank you for coordinating production of these fine patches. Though I have yet to pruchase my pack, I know that this patch will go with me on my big adventure next May. I have it on my desk, alongside my small silver shell which I plan to wear on my journey.

I am impatient - I want my trek to begin. The patch and the shell help me bide my time...they are symbols of my intentions, my commitment.

Life is good....

Good to hear that you like it Ginn.

I mailed out two this week, a bit delayed since I was traveling, but if you have ordered one and waiting.... it is on its way

Inspired by Ginn I have ordered two patches, (thank you, Ivar,). Scallop shells picked up on Hastings beach await hole-drilling - and the plan for today is to book our train journey out to Reims , for Sept 13th, which is not so long away any more. I doubt that we'll meet anyone else with a forum badge along the Voie de Vezelay, though?

I am 'home' again now.... but I couldn't stand to look at that map with no pin from New Zealand on it... so I have ordered one

I have been bartending at a local fiesta up close to the border to Asturias this weekend (helped out my in-laws)... just back and I have prepared the envelopes just now. Will be mailed tomorrow.

Thanks everyone!

Ivar

[Bridget and Peter]

And you've put us on your map already! I'm so excited!!!

I see that New Zealand now has a pin as well...yeah! Now I can be glad that I have done my nationalistic duty
Thanks ivar... I will look forward to an international letter in a week or so!
