Yep. Folks need to be with the program for a group to function well. FWIW, I have found that folks failing to be ready at the appointed times can also be a problem with group activities. The group needs to come together on a schedule.
When one is camping with a group of 14 nothing is more irritating than the clatter of tent poles and flapping of ground sheets at 4 AM. Also those early risers/riders are often shirking their group duties with regard to campground cleanup, leftovers packing and early departure with group cooking gear. Apologies if my post wandered from the intended topic which was more directed toward solo travel. That said, my waking/travel hours are the same when travelling solo.
Yeah, one reason I tend to tour alone. Rest assured though if my site is next to yours, you most likely won't hear me go if I am alone. I am like a ninja when leaving.
