      SoulDesire reacted to Old Bamboo's post in the thread want solitude with Like Like.
      I too prefer solitude on the trail. Your best bet is to leave late since most try to get an early (sometimes very early) start. By leaving late most will already be far down the trail. And also concentrate on hiking in the later afternoon when...

      If you don't know the story behind the bull, it was an advertising billboard for a brandy company, but when a new law came in which banned advertising alcoholic drinks, the writing on the statues was removed but the statues left. A quiet, no so...

      I think I'm generally 'inspired' to walk a Camino by the Emotional and Spiritual 'freedom' that I know I will enjoy. Being away from day to day pressures and responsibilities. But the physical? Yes it's a major part of the attraction. I'm not...

      This is my first posting but as I look at the Camino, I worry about 'lack of solitude' given the number of people on the trail. I am looking to do the France route....as I want to have the experience of a long walk....I know enough from what I...

      SoulDesire replied to the thread want solitude.
      I relate to Iman's situation. I too will be seeking solitude when I do my Frances in September - October. I was dreading the "Camino family" involvement, so the comments have relieved my concerns. I had not walked seriously - and I use that term...
