[QUOTE="Anthony Rocco, post: 1235007, member: 38543"] Not sure about the recent experiences of all the others who have commented, but as a trainer of wannabe peregrinos, I would say that at least in our chapter, a decreasing number and a small percentage are now walking unsupported. And this particularly applies to those walking the last 100 kms only. If they have decided to walk this way, Ivar should be spending more time advising how to do this. It is definitely far different than carrying everything your back and not knowing more than day in advance where you think you are going. HOWEVER...I do completely agree that one can do it on their own. The last unsupported camino we walked, from Porto, we relied on Gronze and never had an issue. We did some planning in advance, but like all previous caminos, we made many course corrections. Gronze came through. And more and more places are using Booking, including albergues. At the same time, I recognize fully that some have limited time to walk a camino and even less time to do the research. They are busy people. And there are those with kids or with some disabilities that want the peace of mind knowing where they are going each day, meals provided and bags transferred. I get it. And I am not about to dissuade them from doing so. Instead, I'm there to help. I mentioned my experience with Camino Ways. It's good to know that they can disappoint. From my discussions with others, they highly recommend Portuguese Green Walks. Others have found local agencies and even individuals who will help. There are options, and I feel an obligation to let people know who intend to walk supported what they are. [/QUOTE]
