Dehydrated and desorientated.....

Yup, saw that earlier. Please remember it is about water AND salt (minerals) not water alone. Buen Camino, SY

I know how this Peregrino felt. There were several days on the VdlP in mid-August that I was probably in the same condition.
I actually made it to Salamanca two days early and only walked...no transport.
Somehow, I doubled the planned distances without actually being aware of it.
That is textbook disorientation.

So easily done. We had a French pilgrim of about the same age collapse at Rabanal. He'd walked from Astorga in 29 degree heat. Got him rehydrated and then quizzed him on how much he had drunk that day - two espressos, no water . . . .
