The behaviours commented on here range from disgusting to highly amusing.
But I'm glad I'll be walking in the VDLP, cos it seems most of the selfish behaviour occurs on the Camino Frances.
(Or am I wrong?)
Wow! I'm glad to have stumbled on this thread. It seems I'll have to learn to bite my tongue quite a lot if that's normal behaviour.

People keep asking me - "Are you doing it alone ?" And I keep explaining to them that everyone does their Camino alone, even if they walk with others.
I also tell them that, although the people who first asked to come with me have now dropped out, I had made it very clear to them that during...
