    No offence taken, no problems, thanks for replying.

    want solitude

    Why do you think the OP wishes to stay in Albergues and I have only suggested a different start point, not end point.

    want solitude

    Why the France then, just start elsewhere, I recently crossed from Tangier to Algerciras and noticed Camino markers there. I think the France is just a made up thing, you can literally start anywhere, the only rule being you will need a few stamps in the book for the last 100kms, if you are...

    €12000 fine on Route Napoleon?

    Not many. In the UK we have the Foreign and Commonwealth Office who issue travel advice, and if they advice against travel, then most policies will not cover you. As a slight aside, if anyone struggles for insurance perhaps because of age or medical record, it maybe worth considering the...

    €12000 fine on Route Napoleon?

    The case I was thinking of in the UK was this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cumbria-66762308 where a rescue got badly injured and subsequently died. The people rescued were breaking lockdown rules. Nothing like a €12000 fine. This case is very different to the UK

    €12000 fine on Route Napoleon?

    Just reading this thread https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/news-from-the-camino.86228/ and the OP mentions people being fined €12000. I knew that you cannot do the Napoleon in certain weather and would have no intention going against any advice. However from a UK perspective...
