Phil W reacted to David Tallan's post in the thread A call for regulation or permit on the Francés with
Like.
The challenge being that most of the Camino is on roads or paths that are multipurpose unlike, I expect, the PCT. Where there are bits between villages that are not multipurpose, setting up checkpoints would just incentivize pilgrims without... -
Phil W reacted to Kathar1na's post in the thread A call for regulation or permit on the Francés with Like.
What is the problem actually? That two pilgrims fight with each other in the streets of Portomarin? That some Camino pilgrims can not live out their dream of freedom in the form of never having to book their accommodation? That the Camino is no...

Phil W reacted to peregrina2000's post in the thread LIVE from the Camino First time San Salvador, here we go with Like.
Ah, to be young again. Your description was how my first Salvador went. The last time I went for the four day option, at age 72, I straggled into Pola de Gordón too late to get lunch and feeling wiped out. The great thing about the Salvador...

Phil W reacted to ksoltysiak's post in the thread LIVE from the Camino First time San Salvador, here we go with Like.
I stayed in Leon last night, in the benedictinas albergue. Relatively few pilgrims, which was a bit surprising but I didn’t mind. I had hoped to get a full nights rest but eh, I think I caught a cold and on top of that my brain just kept waking...
