Responsible Camino: A Guide to Leave No Trace Principles
Just me. When I first wrote it and got LNT to approve/publish it, I emailed it to every confraternity I could find each spring for a couple of years.

Bored walking
It can be boring and tedious. If I do too many miles in a day, I get bored of the single, unrelenting activity. Maybe try less distance and fill the rest of the time with sightseeing, sketching, or reading. During the walks I'll often listen to audio books, podcasts, or compose a haiku. With...- Faith Walker

Offer one Camino suggestion.....

Practice saying it in Spanish or have a Spanish speaker write it out for you to show a local. It goes something like this: Pretend if you've just...- Faith Walker

Thinking about tents
I think paying an albergue to tent in their garden is very reasonable. You are supporting them and helping their social distancing requirements.

I am still walking my Camino
In preparing for my 2016 camino, for every mile I walked domestically, I traced the camino using Google street view and marked it on my Spanish map. Instead of this year's Portugal walk, I will be doing the same plus making a faux travel journal of what I see via Google maps. Salud- Faith Walker
