[QUOTE="Bradypus, post: 646635, member: 42372"] Brierley's approach of dividing routes into daily stages can cause problems. I have met a number of people who were walking the Caminos as their first experience of long-distance walking. With little prior knowledge of their own walking style and ability to base their decisions upon they have assumed - quite reasonably - that as the most popular English-language guide Brierley's stages must be the norm and quite practical. Often people commit themselves to the Brierley stages in advance by pre-booking accommodation along the way and booking their transport home accordingly with little room for flexibility. If they then find it impossible to keep up with Brierley's daily pattern they are forced to choose from unpalatable options: either skip sections of the route or slow down, walk only part of the way and then return another time to complete their journey. The latter may not be practical for those for whom limited leisure time, cost and distance make walking the Caminos a rare luxury. I happen to be amongst those who enjoy walking long daily stages and have no problem in keeping up with - or more often exceeding - his daily prescribed distances. Many first-time walkers do not find this so easy. I feel that for what has become effectively the default stage pattern on some Caminos Brierley's stages are too ambitious. [/QUOTE]
