Bedspring replied to the thread Are there Book swaps on the Camino.

Bedspring replied to the thread Are there Book swaps on the Camino. What book would you take..Now then, that is interesting.

In March 2016, two pilgrims walked the Napoleon route although it was already prohibited at the time but this legal prohibition was less well known than now. One of them fell and got injured and immobilised and it was night time. It had snowed...

Bedspring replied to the thread €12000 fine on Route Napoleon?.Hence the thread, an attempt to get accurate information. From what I can gather though, in the UK, MRT volunteers tend to be rather non judgemental and would rather people got out and did things as opposed to not. An issue in the UK though seems...
