      BookGirl305 reacted to HBS60's post in the thread No Mobile Phone with Like Like.
      I think it’s an individual thing, as we are different in terms of resourcefulness, adaptability, self confidence, skills. Being that I was a novice pilgrim that believes in prudence and have a low risk tolerance, I made sure I had my phone with...

      Are you good at paper maps and a compass? If you’re on a less traveled route it might be easier to take a wrong turn somewhere that’s not well marked - walking a few extra miles is not a big deal if you’re doing a 12 mile stage, but for me it...

      so what is your real issue with wanting "no phone"? Because that's the issue, the issue is not the phone. Is it that you find yourself endlessly surfing TikTok? Delete the app. Are you hitting Google instead of learning the hard way? Break the...

      Ok, I just have to say this, and I'll shut up... I think it is irresponsible for any hiker/walker to to go out on a trek without being totally self sufficient and having the means to "save themselves". My thinking may be skewed by some of my...

      BookGirl305 reacted to Bradypus's post in the thread No Mobile Phone with Like Like.
      I walked my first Camino with no mobile phone or anything else electronic. My only contact with home was by mail and two or three phone calls from payphones. No email or internet along the way either. These days I carry a mobile phone and I am...

      I do not want to be part of the getting up before sunrise and walk quickly to the next cheap albergue. I want to walk slowly and rely on luck and if I have to pay for more expensive hotels I do not mind. No contact with home would be great!

      BookGirl305 replied to the thread Accommodation in Uterga.
      Hostel del Perdon, along with 4 other hostels and hotels along the way, cancelled and refunded my Booking.com reservations on my ill fated 1 day camino in 2022. I actually called them from the top of Alto de Perdon and cancelled and they let me...

      Travel your own camino. Don't let other people dictate where you sleep at night.

      Sure, why not? Buen camino! The first time (and the last because I never repeated the CF), I made it up to Alto de Perdon, huffing and puffing; I was amazed to see a group of young pilgrims who ordered pizza delivery. They were enjoying the...

      Quit. Stupidist thing I did was quit. I made it one day- got to the top of Alto de Perdon and called a cab to come get me. It has haunted me since. It was also the correct decision at the time. But I am headed back (hopefully) this summer to try...
