Meeting this year’s Rally participants in Mayflower marina, Plymouth feels like a distant memory, realising it was only one month ago is quite a hard to believe. The final prize giving took place last night (Tue 24th) in the Waypoint Restaurant, Marina De Lagos. Gathering at 2000 for drinks out by the pool followed by buffet dinner in the main restaurant, it was a lovely setting for the definitive get-together.

Santiago de Compostela is a stone apparition in the midst of the green forests of Northwest Spain and the nearby Galician “rias”. It was originally a stopping point on a Roman road, but the discovery of the Apostle James’ tomb at the beginning of the 9th century gave rise to a place of worship in this corner of the Iberian Peninsula, which was then dominated by the Moors.
