Hi all,
I have been reading the posts here with interest.
I am particularly saddened by the death of the pilgrim from Canada just recently. May he rest in peace.
Something struck me though, it seems that there is only one small shelter on the Napoleon mountain route.
If that is correct, I do think more should be provided. That route can turn treacherous without warning, even if pilgrims have taken weather advice (ie, it's ok) from SJPP.
From looking at google maps, it does look desolate up there if the weather suddenly turns bad.
I just wondered why there are not more basic shelters up there.
I would be willing to pay a levy to the Spanish Government if I took that route, to subsidise basic shelters for those who will walk it. It would help everyone.
Buen Camino. And happy Easter too.
