Hi guys,

I know that the Camino is for thousands of people every year, but as I am lazy/particular about my distances....if I do take the odd bivvy bag night a few yards off the path, is this likely to have a huge impact....apart from my natural scent of course?

Thanks
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

When I was researching the question of an overnight camp for one person, the most common prohibition was against doing so within a town's or a cities limits, or within a certain distance of a commercial camp ground.

Also, under NO circumstances is an open flame allowed, be it a stove or campfire.

Other than that, as long as you observe posted No Trespassing signs, you should be OK, as long as you leave nothing but footprints behind.
