    But what you listed out are situations that are, in reality, everyday common occurrences, not necessarily a result of poor planning, which I might suggest, are your personal expectations.

    Haven't we all left something on a bench, left an item behind in an albegue (yep, that would be me!) or didn't get a chance to pack food because a store was closed? Personally, I'd want to be the person sharing an apple or snacks with a hungry...

    Joynz replied to the thread The Camino will provide?.
    I don’t like the phrase the Camino provides - sounds akin to ‘magic happens’ stickers on car windscreens! Or ‘unicorns are real!’. However, the original post seems like quite an over reaction to a non-issue - particularly given the examples the...

    Joynz reacted to good_old_shoes's post in the thread Social anxiety on the camimo with Like Like.
    True. But it is still a massively different situation to what many people experience in normal every day life at home. It's a certain kind of people who go on that kind of pilgrimage, and the pilgrimage situation makes many people more open than...

    Anyone who set off from the Orisson this morning is probably there by now, that is if anyone took the route and didn't get buried in an avalanche. Hopefully someone in Roncevalles right now can tell us about their journey.

    Just write it off to experience. *Anything* you leave unattended has a chance to be stolen. Just don't do it. Unattended rucksacks piled up by the door waiting to be collected or while people have lunch never cease to amaze me! TBH, it sounds...
