Hi,
I'm going to start the Camino next week - not sure which day as I'm travelling overland from the UK. Also not sure where I'll start from, but maybe Roncesvalle or Pamplona.
As you can see I tend to be relatively unstructured in my approach.
I've noticed however, that people seem particularly exercised about accommodation. I wasn't counting on booking (or planning) ahead, as I want to stop when I'm tired, take my time, and not feel obligated to undertake specific 'stages' To be honest with my level of fitness I think I'll be very slow!
Is this a mistake?
I understand I may get caught out every now and then with full Albergues and 'no room at the Inn' - but I hope this isn't often and I will carry a bivvy bag for use if I'm really caught short!
But I'll be happy enough to stay at random Albergues, or pretty much whatever I can find.
But am I likely to get caught out more often than I think? Can I expect most Albergues to be full by 2pm?
Advice gratefully received.
