    eils reacted to David Tallan's post in the thread Avoiding the Crowd on the last 5 stages. Where to stay with Like Like.
    Or use one of a number of strategies in this forum for avoiding it. For example, I walked the last 50km of the Frances (after the Sarria numbers were supplemented by the Primitivo numbers) in late July and didn't have to grin and bear the...

    eils replied to the thread Avoiding the Crowd on the last 5 stages. Where to stay.
    Here's another option: One time I had a plane booked and I realized I would have to either walk 52km to SdC on the last day or else get a bus. An Italian Camino-friend said she'd do it with me ("to avoid the crowds" because there WERE a lot of...

    Thank-you. I know for a fact that people are put off (even scared of) posting because of the condescending tone employed by a few because they have told me in person. But thanks for publicly stating it on here. I pray that these few will take...

    Very fair points. I disengaged from the thread well before Ivar or one of the mods shut it down, because of offensive comments and tones deployed by a handful.

    By the way, I read some fair and interesting comments on another thread begun by someone regarding the "€12,000 fine" reported here. Sadly, as usual, there were also a couple of patronizing and frankly rude comments too. And a slanderous one. I...

    I'm happy to hear Tomas is back greeting pilgrims up at Manjarín. Many (myself included) assumed he was no longer active up there.

    A €12.000 fine is nothing! Imagine being responsible for the death or injury of a First Responder attempting your rescue. How could you live your life with that guilt? -Paul

    eils reacted to bullingtonce's post in the thread €12000 fine on Route Napoleon? with Like Like.
    Hopefully, soon, the fine will be increased to 18,000 Euro and even higher. No one has the 'right' to put another person's life at risk, whether it is someone on the trek itself (like immature teenagers or children) or whether it is a rescurer...

    eils reacted to Blister Bill's post in the thread €12000 fine on Route Napoleon? with Like Like.
    If you haven't got the decency to respect the rules/laws of another country (let alone your own) then stick your hand out when it all goes wrong putting others lives at risk, a fine to me seems relatively minor. I wonder, in these circumstances...

    eils reacted to trecile's post in the thread €12000 fine on Route Napoleon? with Like Like.
    The OP of that thread mentioned that two pilgrims said that there had been a €12000 fine, but we have zero proof that this happened. I am going to close this thread, because it's all based on hearsay. If and when it makes the Spanish news, we...
