Read an excerpt from first edition of The Camino Ingles

Why You?

If you have only two weeks, or one week if you live closer to Spain, you can walk the Camino Inglés, get your compostela and hit a number of goals. From preparing for the walk to packing your backpack and hitting the road in Spain, this book is a journey on its own, one that you can read in a couple of hours to make up your mind and do the Camino Inglés.

If you are the kind of person who loves details, at the end of the walk you can get a very fancy certificate in Latin—your own compostela that you can frame and hang on your wall. If you are just after the fun, without the pain of six weeks of walking, this is for you.

If you think you are too old, too unfit, too far away or too busy for the Camino Francés, then this is definitely the Camino for you.

And if you do want to do the Camino Francés one day, this is for you too. You will probably fall in love with Spain and want to come back!

Note: The book is being updated after I walked the route again in April 2019 and found significant changes.

What readers say about The Camino Ingles

Practical and Encouraging

“My mum has done the traditional “cheating Brit” camino (driving from Santander to Santiago, stopping to cherry-pick a few scenic spots to actually walk). I lack her excuse of needing a cane to walk) but the Frances is both unrealistic to cram into a wage-slave holiday, and probably beyond my deskbound fitness level.
This book is a clear and practical guide to an alternative – recommended both for those dreaming of one day seeing this historic, sacred region, and those actually planning to get up and do some walking.”
Mr Jason Stevens

El Superlativo!

The most authoritative, short book on the Camino Ingles! Laid out the journey in easy-to-understand steps including illustrations of the route each day and the gradient to expect. Took what could be an overwhelming 140 kilometer trek and made it manageable by providing detailed info on training, clothing/shoes, gear to bring, finding potable water along the way, porting your backpack, where to stay/eat along the route, etc. (author said she had already done all the research for a successful pilgrimage and she meant it!) Final word – Excelente!

Short, Sweet and to the Point

As a writer and editor I’m probably a bad person to do reviews, but this one was easy. Susan has managed to find the right balance between details, maintaining interest, including all the things you need to know, and not wandering off into spiritual or philosophical diversions. I’ve traveled to a few places in the world, but never Europe. This might just help to put a bit more spring in my step. I only found one error: she claimed to be chief among the lazy and unmotivated people of the world, but I claim that position for myself 😉

The Bible to the Camino Ingles

I was expecting another spiritual journey story. Instead this is a clear guidebook to the shorter (144 km) Camino Ingles. This author describes the day to day walking, but the clarity of her information gives me food for thought…maybe??? Then she explains how you can get your stuff from point A to point B without carrying it all.Yay!
Carry this book as your guidebook and you won’t get lost, hungry, or cold. She says to leave your books at home, but I wouldn’t leave this one at home. It’s basically the Bible to the Camino Ingles. You’ll be happy you had this one with you.
