I completed the CF in October. I did carry a guide book when i completed it 6 years earlier but i found i looked at it in the evening after i had completed my walk for the day. This time I had the Wise pilgrim and Buen Camino app but mostly just followed the arrows. This is how i came across Albergue lamas. I realized that this might not be the main route when i started up that hill. I looked at the Buen Camino app to find i was on the variant so i kept going. I also enjoyed the Le Puy Camino and the freedom of getting lost. I carry my pack so just stop when I have. had enough. I don't plan my destination or the albergue. The first one i see it is. My limit was when we checked into the monastery in Samos. We paid our donation. The albergue was filthy, dirty sheets where you could see evidence of bed bugs with blood streaks, dirty blankets and rat catchers on the floors. The monk was extremely unhelpful. I left and stayed at the albergue opposite. It was wonderful and clean with duvets.
Just wondering how many of you wing it or do i just enjoy how easy it is to follow the arrows?
