[QUOTE="Via2010, post: 758216, member: 81963"] For me it is easier to follow the yellow arrows than to figure out by a detailed guidebook or gps where exactly I am. I met pilgrims, who got lost by following their smartphone or their more detailed guidebook. Knowing the whole distance and having a watch is sufficient for my orientation. I check my starting time and calculate with an average of 4 km per hour. Sometimes I am faster than that. But an early arrival is a nice surprise. My friend relied more on her rather detailed guidebook, which was sometimes frustrating for her as the descriptions were not always that clear. She was looking for certain landmarks in the description (e. g. a big white house, a gate, an arroyo, a water pitch) but did not take in consideration the distance between the different landmarks and the time which you need to get from one place to another. So she sometimes thought that we were almost there when according to my calculation we had another hour to go. BC Alexandra [/QUOTE]
