[QUOTE="dougfitz, post: 1170138, member: 10982"] To suggest that there are two categories, 'planning' and 'winging' is to perpetuate the false dichotomy repeated in the headline. I would go even further, and suggest that those who you suggest are 'planning' are doing most of their so-called accommodation planning half blind. We see it regularly here where members are almost continuously seeking advice about accommodation because the booking engines show no vacancies in some place or other. They do not appear to have the understanding that there are other mechanisms for finding accommodation, including not having a booking at all and walking to an albergue that doesn't take bookings, or doesn't offer all its beds on the booking engines. More, they may have no idea about how far they want to walk each day. Many factors will influence this, as [USER=52787]@trecile[/USER] has pointed out a little earlier. Walking with convivial companions with whom you want to walk again with on the following days, illness or injury, even just general tiredness. All of these things will be influences that will be difficult to factor into a 'plan' constructed weeks or months ahead. Indeed, I would suggest that those who are thinking that they are 'planners' are more likely to find themselves 'winging it' because they haven't been able to consider in their planning all the influences that will emerge as they undertake their pilgrimage. They will be the ones that have to compromise, not the ones that we often describe as 'winging it'. [/QUOTE]
