- Time of past OR future Camino
- cycled from Pamplona Sep 2015;Frances, walked from St Jean May/June 2017. Plans to walk Porto 2020
Today I took the alternate route into Burgos, the one via East side of the airport. As I & my fellow pilgrim arrived at the turn-off I was totally disgusted to see two totally unthinking, totally uncaring pilgrims taking a short-cut across a farmers rice field. I yelled out but they ignored me. When I reached the other side of the field, having walked at most an extra 75 metres I could see this track clearly. It is evidently being used by pilgrims who do not give a stuff about this farmer's income. At present the track is about 750mm (about 2ft,8in), but if 10,000 pilgrims walk through it it will be 5 metres wide. Spanish farmers have a tough enough task earning a living without any uncaring, unthinking pilgrims trashing their fields. Please remember we are guests in Spain, please also respect this farmer's private property. I will post a picture to go with this post, but it's on the iPhone.
