[QUOTE="JabbaPapa, post: 1062100, member: 195"] You are seeking to reconcile two antitheticals, perhaps supposing that the Camino could be something like a US thru-hike. But it isn't. The only way that I know of, from having done it, would be to hike a well frequented path like the Francès at great speed, say 40K/day. That's not Community though, just constant contact with others, but from experience, I can think of no real alternative with a Community as such. --- Edit : the more thru-hike manner is to do a very lengthy Camino off the beaten tracks, 2,000K+, but then that ruins your Community purposes. Just as an aside, I am quite puzzled by the notions of some thru-hikers who fail to see a Camino from home as being "easier" than say a CDT, just because old Europe is filled with old villages. Not easier, just better and more traditionally established, and yet still with possibilities for those who love the summits, and the crest trails, and the wilderness to go up into them if they really want. At basis, the Via Alpina is actually longer and with more aggressive elevation differentials than any or all of the US triple crown trails. But even that is village to village to village. And if you really wanted to have your challenge cake and eat your Community cherry, then walk from home. Walk to a cargo port, get passage on a cargo ship to Le Havre or Bordeaux or wherever, and walk from there to Santiago. [/QUOTE]
