Thanks Robb but I know from having been around certain hiking communities there are some who, at the very least, are self ascribed know it alls and rub it in the faces of people who ask a straightforward question.
Suffice to say, the pertinent takeaways from these answers are; an actual law and specific timeframe (my research hadn’t mentioned that, so in doing my due diligence, I inquired here) there is a significant fine and additional costs if I did need to be rescued, if that were the case I could put rescuers and in harms way, the weather at that altitude and location is extremely unpredictable and a couple lesser concerns, as well.
If there is a law and specific timeframe, end of story, enough said. It’s safe to say there’s very good reason for the law and the timeframe and I’m law abiding regardless of what country I’m in!
I doubt I’d post any other questions and simply dig way deeper when a question does arise. I’ll continue to be a member for now and when I do post from the various Caminos, it will just be the occasional photo thanks for the answer to my question Camino community. I very much appreciate your input and insights.
Buen Camino
