  walkingstu reacted to Juspassinthru's post in the thread Molinaseca to O Cebreiro stage mess up? with Like.
  
  If you’re going to skip some, my choice would be the road from Molinaseca and Ponferrada. Road walking and boring. About 7k I think.

  walkingstu reacted to Grousedoctor's post in the thread Is the Camino too crowded? with Like.
  
  The Camino Francés isn’t the only possibility for walking your kind of Camino. There are many other great Camino routes available for the pilgrim who doesn’t want the more “crowded” experience. To paraphrase an old Will Ragers saying, I’ve never...

  The Camino is not too crowded if you are on a pilgrimage and you're flexible. If you insist on booked accommodation, private rooms, etc., you may be out of luck in September.

  My first Camino was 18 years ago this month. My first day was memorable as the hospitalero at SJPP convinced us to cancel our booking at Orrison. I cried every step into Roncesvalles and that walk almost ruined my entire Camino. Since then...

  This was very much a defining feature of my first Camino. I think it is still present on the Frances, but pushed back a bit because of all of the current pilgrims. Maybe it would be different if I walked in winter, or maybe it was that my focus...

  walkingstu reacted to lt56ny's post in the thread Compostela: Electric Bikes Excluded? with Like.
  
  I for one and this opinion is only I. I am personally happy that a compostela will not be awarded to people on E bikes. There are things all of us would like to do but because of lack of ability, age, intelligence, education, money, etc etc etc...

  walkingstu reacted to Tandem Graham's post in the thread Snoring. AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! with Like.
  
  I am a light sleeper and frequently disturbed by snorers and other nocturnal noises. So I pack earplugs and I use them whenever I am in shared dorms. They are not 100% effective but they help. I occasionally seek out a private room, just to...

  If you're signing up to sleep in a room with 5-20 other people for 30+ days, bank on snoring happening. It's your job to figure out if you can deal with this. If you cannot deal, and if earplugs don't work for you (some folks have inner ear...

  Yes. If you have to or want to stay in Albergues on heavily traversed Camino's (CF,CP AND CN) snoring will be an issue. Another issue is open or closed windows? Early risers making noise putting gear together? Stay in hotels or Private...

  Nor does being intolerant and unwilling to learn how to deal with your own sleeping difficulties. Demanding that others pay extra €€€ for your own personal convenience is aggressive. And BTW just to be crystal clear I am not a snorer.
