Thanks for that, Margaret. Just goes to show that pilgrims aren't the only ones obsessed with who is "authentic" or "real." This guy surely rants on about why Bill Bryson didn't "really" hike the AT, and how he was going to do it "the right way." (italics his and not done to convey irony, I would bet).
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Great article Margaret. Worth reading to the end. I can't dispute anything he says, Laurie. I suppose the difference between me and Bryson (well, one of the many, but we won't go there) is that he did not apparently want to continue the "mindlessness" involved. For me that's the ultimate.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if it were all connected and possible. I look forward to the time when young Australians and New Zealanders can once again travel overland to Europe, as my friends did in the 1960s and 70s. Just not possible now with the conflicts in Afghanistan and the middle East.

If we walk together it brings us together in other ways.
 
Let us pick up your suitcase once you arrive in Europe....
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
This terse reportage by Leon McCarron describes his 1000 mile trek through timeless Middle East landscapes across lands fraught with contemporary danger. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/d...ddle-east-taught-me-about-life-leon-mccarron/

Like most who travel either on or off 'beaten paths' he was sincerely thankful for simple, authentic local hospitality.

"To walk is to be constantly humbled; by landscapes, by emotions, by people. By gestures and kindnesses...." Leon McCarron
