[QUOTE="Kanga, post: 351657, member: 143"] Hi [USER=31043]@Robo[/USER]. Having just finished a camino with an inexperienced friend, I've thought about this. In the end, for it to work, my sense is that the "leading" needs to be done by the person who has not walked before. But it can be hard to let go of one's personal expectations and preferences, particularly as we all think we know best. In my case I tried to put my experience to work to achieve what the other person wanted. She wanted to experience different parts of the camino in a limited time, and without discomfort. So I put my experience to work thinking about where it was feasible to catch buses, where it was not, what bits of walking were highlights, what albergues were unmissable, where was it better to stay in private accommodation, where in casa rurals. As my friend said, it was the Disney Camino. For me, this camino was quite different to my usual practice (and preference), where I start walking and keep walking, carrying my own pack, and accepting accommodation as it arises. I still think that is the best way to walk a camino and brings with it the most rewards. But I feel rather proud of this camino because it was serving the needs of another, not myself. I rather imagine this is how [USER=3502]@Anniesantiago[/USER] feels when she takes a group. For the record we did not try to claim a Compostela. The Pilgrim Office was quite delighted when I said that all we wanted was a stamp! We did not have to wait in line but were served immediately. [/QUOTE]
