[QUOTE="Bradypus, post: 630318, member: 42372"] That piece by Francis Tapon is perhaps the finest example of why someone should approach the Caminos with a little research - at least enough to have a fair idea of what the Caminos are and (perhaps more importantly) what they are not. Tapon's argument seems to be (1) I like wilderness trails (2) the Camino is not a wilderness trail therefore (3) the Camino sucks. Every now and then someone posts a question here on the forum asking "Where are the campgrounds?" or "Should I carry a gps distress beacon?" or similar that strongly suggests the writer is imagining something more akin to the Appalachian Trail. A perception that might sometimes be reinforced by over-dramatic descriptions of the difficulties of what is in reality a very straightforward walking route. As you have already taken the time to read other's experiences both here on the forum and elsewhere I think you will be better prepared for the reality that you find. [/QUOTE]
