I used the previous edition of the guide when I walked the Camino from SJPP in 2009. If you are only willing to carry one guidebook this is the one to bring as the maps are readable, the elevation charts very helpful, and the book lightweight and well sized for the cargo pockets of the convertible pants all peregrines wear. Instead of the New Agey passages ("The Mystical Path"),
Brierley could have more helpfully added more info about the various albergues or highlights. And the approach route to Leon has been changed from his description/map, an error repeated in this new edition. Otherwise it's the perfect guide to the Camino.
