?Non-Cliffy options for Camino Norte

Texas Walker said:

Speaking as a really uncoordinated person, I didn't have any scary moments of the teetering-on-cliffs type on the Norte. Hard, difficult moments, yes. But there was always a foot or three where there was a cliff, that separated the path from the fall. And I used my sticks. I think the people that we read about, that have fallen with serious consequences, were probably walking in the dark. Many things are a lot different in the dark.

This is the key advice really. This where the planning should be done, and is more frequently done.

Complicated routes or dangers of any sort would often be pointed out by a hospitalero. Fellow travellers have ideas and recommendations too. Weather, how strong you feel, and the friendships you make decide the route for the next day more often than not.

Following the fellow arrows wil keep you away from all cliffs I think. The red white arrows ( mostly the e9 route) are more beautiful, have less asphalt and are as far as I remember also not dangerous at all. In some threads in this forum you can find descriptions ove more dangerous trails, but they are I think more local trails that are sought out by more adventurous walkers. In your case I would plan a day ahead and seek information for the next day route on the internet, the hospitaleros, and fellowtravellers
