[QUOTE="KiwiNomad06, post: 63940, member: 1840"] tamtamplin, I don't think I agree with your theory. Before I walked, I was planning to walk a long distance- from Le Puy to Santiago. And I had many very specific questions about the basics -like booking places to stay, where would I be able to find food, did I need to carry a sleeping bag etc etc etc. This forum was a great place to ask them, and I think I had just as many questions as any 'short distance' walker- perhaps more. And I had many patient people who answered them. I asked a lot of my questions on the forum, but also I ended up connecting with some angels and you didn't see their replies on the main boards. Brendan, who doesn't appear on the board here very often now, but who you might meet as hospitalero if you arrive at Rabanal in the right month, had walked from Le Puy. Not only did he patiently deal with my many queries pre-Camino in PM, but he regularly kept in e-mail contact as I walked, encouraging me along the way. And jl- Janet- from Adelaide- patiently answered many of my questions about the basics via some long phone calls. (From New Zealand we can call Oz quite cheaply at certain times.) I don't think having a lot of questions about the basics before you start means you are going to have a less meaningful experience when you walk. And I don't think you have to walk a 'long way' to have a meaningful experience either. Some of those who walk from Sarria do it with an intense sense of purpose. Margaret [/QUOTE]
