This is weird. What's to stop someone pitching a tent out of sight of the refuge?
If you walk a few hundred metres away from the track,chances are you are in someones property ......also,you could be pitching your tent in turd city, especially in Spain,the Pilgrim walks are notorious for it,the Spanish Government rakes in millions of euros from tourists yearly,but,will not put anything back into amenities etc...not as bad in France,there are pockets of locals who take pride in their Pilgrim walks & at their own expense, have refreshment stops,& look after the tracks......I have camped through France/Spain,usually only when the Gites/Refuges have been full. ...nothing like a warm bed,decent meal,nice wine,after a daily 20/30k walk....yes ,I know I'm just too softnorth-north-west wrote:Yes, but I'm not talking about rules and regulations, I'm talking about the practicalities of it. If you head out, walk a few hundred metres away from the track, well out of sight of anyone, and camp, what is the likelihood of being evicted before morning? Who is going to know?
