Well to the delight of both Isabel and Vanessa an over 3kg bright orange hoody arrived on our doorstep the week before leaving for France.. this luminescent delight came along with the kind sponsorship of the DeLalio road building company is Long Island, New York, who were offering generous sponsorship for it to take the road to Santiago with us!
As you can see the jumper made it to some of the highest points of the trek,
And also provided a 12th layer for Isabel who was less than impressed at our warm and luxurious sleeping arrangements!
DeLalio SFA are making some sort of bid to tarmac the whole 788km of the Camino..
At weighing 3 kgs we decided it needed a bit of an operation before leaving, neither of us could fit it in our tightly packed 35l rucksacks so it was going to be coming in hand, over these dreaded mountains.. A sad goodbye was said to all thermal lining....

We are very concerned to read that De Lalio SFA are putting in a bid to lay asphelt along the entire length of the ancient Camino de Santiago pilgrimage route. It's special character and ancient history would be greatly affected. We also would be concerned that De Lalio is an Italian sounding name and not Spanish which makes one wonder how close they are connected to the Vatican?
