[QUOTE="VGL, post: 692205, member: 62944"] We walked the CF with accommodation pre-booked right through from the start, along with daily luggage transfers. We were a group of 11 walkers, the majority aged 60+, together with one other spouse who was not fit enough to walk but wanted to accompany her husband and drove a hire car to the next location each day. We were primarily a group of retired ex-colleagues and partners now living spread around the world. We did it for practical reasons - we wanted to stay together, did not want the hassle of trying to book along the way, frankly none of us were enthusiastic about dorm type accommodation and 4 of the group did not have the time to walk the whole route and therefore joined us on pre-determined dates. We used a company named The Way Experiences and we met quite a lot of people doing it the same way as us with the help of a number of other companies. Do I think it detracted from the experience - hell no! It did not stop us meeting and talking and socialising with a number of other pilgrims along the way. I read comments such as part of the Camino experience is learning to let go, or the communal living experience of staying in the albergues etc etc. Absolutely fine if that's your preference, or if you believe that is the "real"Camino experience. As far as I am concerned it is down to each individual and what you make of the Camino experience. All I can say is that our experience of walking the CF was uplifting, with lots of laughter, and some pain (!), meeting people from all around the world with interesting backgrounds and experiences.
