    Injuries, Fatalities Since May

    Most of the things that are "possible" never happen. There seems to be an emphasis on highlighting the salacious details of every single mishap that one hears about on the trail. It's not necessary and is the definition of fear mongering.

    Injuries, Fatalities Since May

    How about just a general prayer for the safety of all pilgrims instead of engaging in fear mongering? We all know to take necessary precautions with our feet and legs without hearing the specifics of others’ misfortunes.

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    Snoring is part and parcel of the experience, yes. Loud snoring doesn't need to be. If someone knows that they snore loudly to the point of keeping others awake, the considerate thing is to sleep elsewhere and not expect others to accommodate them.

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    Non-snorers "give" in terms of bringing earplugs. A reasonable request. That said, one shouldn't be expected to "give" on the reasonable expectation of being well rested for the next day.

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    A decent night's sleep is a completely reasonable expectation. Suggesting is not the same as demanding. You are attempting to discredit that point by taking it to its ridiculous extreme. When someone is awoken by loud snoring, that doesn't mean they have sleep difficulties. It means that...

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    If they know they are a snorer, then they are the ones who need to upgrade their accommodation. Not the people who they are keeping awake.

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    Yeah no, it's not. If you think that's aggression, you've got bigger problems which cannot be solved here. I posit that sleeping in a shared space if you know you are a snorer is aggression. One being a snorer doesn't supercede the rights of dozens of other people to get much needed rest.

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    Stating (even strongly stating) that it bothers one is not aggression. Suggesting that snorers get a private room is not aggression. Expressing dismay over a poor night's sleep ahead of a full day of walking isn't aggression.

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    I draw it at suffering physically and mentally the next day from sleeplessness the night before. But that's just me.
  10. AR1965

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    Loud ones are, yes.
  11. AR1965

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    Yup. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of a few.
  12. AR1965

    Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!

    There's a whole lot of grey area between "luxury" and a sleepless night caused by loud snoring. You're attempting to discredit the point by taking it to its ridiculous extreme.

    First day - Route Napoléon, or Valcarlos?

    I see. Thank you. That's part of the Napolean route? And is it well marked?

    First day - Route Napoléon, or Valcarlos?

    There's an alternate path down from Roncevalles?

    Is 42 days for SJPDP to Finisterre too long?

    I am going mid-June through early August next year (SJPDP to SDC, and then continuing to Muxia and Finesterre) and my trip will encompass 50 days: 2 travel days on each end, 1 day at the beginning to explore SJPDP, 5 rest days, 40 walking days. I will average 14 miles per day. I wouldn't want to...

    Where to Stay for the First 2 Days of the Camino Frances from SJPDP

    I'm going next summer, and I've already made my reservations for Refuge Orisson for the first night, and Lorentx Aterpea in Burguete for the second night.
