Hi guys,

I know that the Camino is for thousands of people every year, but as I am lazy/particular about my distances....if I do take the odd bivvy bag night a few yards off the path, is this likely to have a huge impact....apart from my natural scent of course?

Thanks

When I was researching the question of an overnight camp for one person, the most common prohibition was against doing so within a town's or a cities limits, or within a certain distance of a commercial camp ground.

Also, under NO circumstances is an open flame allowed, be it a stove or campfire.

Other than that, as long as you observe posted No Trespassing signs, you should be OK, as long as you leave nothing but footprints behind.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
