Thanks for watching. I respect everything on the Camino. I want nothing more than to leave the Camino as pristine for other peregrino. In our country we have abundant of Dandelions growing on the grass. We would pick it and blow on it as if it’s bubble. I do it with my kids all the time. Sorry you found blowing Dandelions offensive. I’ll be more considerate next time. Buen Camino.

​@@Gettinglostonthetrail​@Gettinglostonthetrail Gracias por tu respuesta. Estoy segura de que es como dices y que eres respetuoso. Genial 🤗 Pero solo imagina que muchos peregrinos hicieran lo mismo y los cortaran... Mejor respetamos todo y todos 😉 Un cordial saludo. Buen Camino!

It would be nice to do the Primitivo on a horse. The trail was challenging, but I would say doable for a non active person like myself, if one train for it. Primitivo offered beautiful views with amazing people around the world. Overall, well worth the journey. Thanks for watching. Buen Camino.

It was a beautiful lake. It’s a small lake and you can even hike around the entire lake within a few hours. The kids enjoyed the boat ride. Overall, it was a beautiful day trip from Yellowstone. Thanks for watching.

Hi. I also have the DJI mini 2. I don’t think there are restrictions in Spain. I mostly fly my drone in the countryside where there are no buildings or important structures. I know a Camino RUclipsr, Anton Hill (Hike the Camino), he took great drone footages for all his Camino. Have fun flying your drone, but be careful with high winds. I almost lost my drone a couple of times. Buen Camino.

If ever visit America, you definitely got to visit Yellowstone. Such a beautiful place. Enjoy The Way with your family.

Thanks for watching. Yes, it was a lovely dog. Can you imagine all the attention he gets daily, especially during high season of peregrino. Funny how he listened as though he understood what I am saying to him. Smart dog. Penaflor is just a couple of steps before Grado, wow, impressive. Must be a little adventure when you get to do it. How nice! 👍

Just saw your video of you giving the dog treats. It’s the same dog LOL.

@@Gettinglostonthetrail yes. Many Sundays that are not good for hiking on the mountains I walk these 20 km. And he is almost always there. But I have never seen anybody from the house. A bit later there's a house whose owner died some three years ago and his wife went to a residence for elder people. And all the cats that lived there are still there after all this time. They look really thin. I always bring a can of meat for them. Sometimes there are 3, sometimes 4. So I am entertained during my Sunday walk.

You are a good man. You walk with a purpose and I’m sure they look forward to seeing you again. What a nice mini Camino for you.

@@Gettinglostonthetrail I'm not good. It's simply that I know they are there. And you're right... I walk many mini Caminos 😂and make a lot of mini Camino friendships. They continue towards Santiago and I hurry to get the train back home for lunch. I really enjoy these days. I have met people from New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Belgium, Argentina... And I don't bother them for too long because I usually walk only for a while with them.

How fun, volunteering. Each year they change things to attract new visitors.

@@Gettinglostonthetrail i have an interview next week to see if i can volunteer again

How nice. You having the time to volunteer and enjoying doing it. Good for you. 👏👏👏

@@Gettinglostonthetrail i recently applied there, let's see how it goes

Thanks for watching. From chikatsuyu to Hongu Taisha, for a fit person probably 6-8 hours. I’m not fit or active so it took me about 12 hours. Some took the bus from Chikatsuyu to bypass the road walking. Also, I spoke to some that had to take the bus the last 7 km and continue where they left off the following day. When I arrived at Hongu Taisha everything was closed and had to come back the following day to get my certificate and visit the shrines. Tough and long day, but if you train before the pilgrimage then it won’t be so bad.

@@Gettinglostonthetrail thanks for the advice. i was looking to take the bus at the hosshinmon oji to kawayu and then the next morning take the bus again and restart at this point to finish the part and have the hongu taisha all open. as i'm going in november i think it's the best solution days are short.

Yes you could do that. To be honest, you could take the bus from Chikatsuyu to bypass the road walking, you will not be missing much. But if you’re determined to do it all then your plans will work just fine.

Hi. The Camino passes by small town too, but what’s beautiful to me is the green forest. I live in the city so seeing lush green forest is considered beautiful. Thanks for watching.

I understand what you mean. As for me, I’m NOT Catholic. I love to travel and immersing myself in the local culture while traveling. Bowing in front of Shrines is how I show my respect for their religion and culture. When I am at church with my wife and kids, I too bow to show my respect.

@@Gettinglostonthetrail okay 👌

@@COGmercythank you for pointing that out. I appreciated your comments.

@@Gettinglostonthetrail I work with a priests and people like Fr. Jose I can tell you it is a lot more than bowing for respect but you are very welcome. God Bless!!

It was a beautiful trail. Some challenges, but oh so worth it. Thanks for watching.

The trail unreal and definitely a must do. I was blown away with beautiful it was. I’ve seen older hikers on trail. I struggled a bit because I’m not active at home and yes it was tough on my legs LOL. Thanks for watching Neil.

You say about older hikers - i remember walking up misen on Miyajima. I was 31 i think - but not used to hiking and not dressed for it… man, those octogenarians etc were just breezing past me … the shame still haunts me 😂 on the ingles recently, as a 41 yo, everytime i saw anyone close to that age I noticed i sped up 😂😂😂 ptsd mate 😂😂😂

LOL that’s why I adopted “slow and steady”. I’m always last into town, Caminos and Kumano Kodo. As long as I have a bed at the end of the day, I’ll savor every moment on trail. Like you I’ve tried just to see how long I can stay ahead, 10 mins max for me and I’m left struggling behind them. Back to slow and steady LOL.

@@neilwatkinson22 “octogenarians” you can’t beat them, they trained year round. I met a man in Santiago de Compostela and he did the entire camino Frances in 28 days in rain and snow. Half of his backpack was filled with medicine and medical devices. “octogenarians” they are such an inspiration for me.

Farmer, what a journey it was. Beautiful trail with so much to see. Challenging and tough on the legs, but oh so worth it. There were some difficult sections, but doable. Overall, definitely a must for all peregrino.

The dual pilgrim was a motivator. The trail was so beautiful. I’ve never been on such a trail and was awestruck the entire journey. I’ll definitely will have to take my wife and kids to do it, so they can earn their dual pilgrim status LOL. Overall, I’m so grateful for such an opportunity to experience it.

With your experience with the AT and Camino Frances, you can easily complete the Primitivo shorter than expected. For a person who is not physically active I found the Primitivo to be challenging, but overall it was an amazing experience. The beauty of the trail is unreal, beautiful. I hope you’ll get to do it this October. Buen Camino to you fellow peregrino. Thanks for watching.

@@Gettinglostonthetrail thank you brother!!

It’s beautiful on the outside. So many details and things to look at. Sold out for the day so I couldn’t get a ticket to go inside. More reason to visit next time.

Great advise. I wanted to do the Parsons landing loop, but no tent space available. Had to start from Two Harbors due to availability. The trail was so exposed. Got to see a bison up close, it was in my path. Overall, good first solo camping and hiking experience. Thanks for watching.

Camino Primitivo: March 23rd - April 4th, 2023. Thanks for watching Carlo.

Casa de Aldea Araceli (in Berducedo). 50 euro a night. Restaurant and bar down on first floor. For a long day hike I think it's worth it to splurge yourself. I'm excited to hear about your upcoming adventure. Hope the weather is in your favor. Buen Camino.

My friend it’s good to hear from you. Hope all is well. I was lucky with a beautiful Camino. The weather was just perfect considering how early it was in the season. Thanks for watching Agenor.

Thanks Marianne for such kind words. We’re looking at Camino Porto. Heard it’s somewhat flat and along the coast. Now my boys are a little older they will have to walk the entire journey. What I look forward to is to spend 2 weeks as a family being together.

Thank you for such kind words. The Camino is a love hate thing. I absolutely love it. The suffering, pain, beauty, achievement, people, food, and so much more than just a walk. The family is planning another Camino in 2026. I really wanted to be that 76 years old man we met on Camino Frances working on his 13 Caminos, he’s my inspiration. Thanks for watching and “buen Camino”.

There are so many beautiful places to visit in Galicia. I love it too.

Thanks for watching Antonieta!

It was indeed a beautiful Camino. The weather was perfect considering how early I started in the season for a Camino. Overall, “the way” was more than what I expected. The family I walked with from Cape Town Africa told me about the unesco pilgrimage sister trail in Japan, the Kumano Kodo. Something I definitely want to hike and look into. My next adventure, the Kumano Kodo in Japan. Thanks for watching. Buen Camino.

@@Gettinglostonthetrail Kumano Kodo, that’s quite a shortish pilgrimage route near Kyoto, am I right? They also have a much longer one Shikoku. I once read about that one … is quite tough, I think. Kumano Kodo is shorter, but also contains mountains. I once did a very super dhort short pilgrim’s trail near Kyoto, but cannot remember where exactly. It involved a waterfall under which the pilgrim should wash off all the sins or whatever. It was far too cold 🥶. It was early March. Anyway, I then rented a bike and toured lots of beautiful temples outside Kyoto, where Roman letter style street signs had finished. It was as jute an amazing little tour through all those bamboo forests. Also I went hiking on an island opposite Hiroshima. I was the only hiker, and there were supposed to be some monkeys in the hills 🐒. Fortunately I did not meet any there, but I had a monkey problem near Kyoto in Arashiyama park. It was scary. A bunsh of monkeys tried to attack me and I was saved only by a large family also out for a walk here so we outnumbered the monkeys and they then withdrew. So, beware of the monkeys … wherever. I have had it with them. I don’t want to put you off, just beware of the monkeys. Otherwise I found Japan a true pearl. If you do go to Kumano Kodo, please post your beautiful videos!

The Kumano Kodo is a series of ancient pilgrimage routes that crisscross the Kii Peninsula, the largest peninsula of Japan. A “Dual Pilgrim” is someone who has walked both the Kumano Kodo and the Way of St.James (Camino de Santiago). To receive the Dual Pilgrim status, pilgrims must complete one of the options for the Way of St. James, and one of the options for the Kumano Kodo, then register at a designated site. I’m interested in being a dual pilgrim. The Kumano Kodo looks amazing from my research online.

@@Gettinglostonthetrail Thanks for the information. I did not know that. It does sound interesting. Good luck either way your further research. 🧐

I liked my “kilt” as well. I haven’t gotten a chance to use it in the rain, but I’ve been using it as a mat to take naps on the Camino. Sorry you lost yours, glad they are inexpensive and replaceable. Thanks for watching.

It’s pretty isn’t it?! Feel like you’re walking through an enchanted forest. I love it! It was a nice hike today. Also, I enjoyed it because it was done at a slow and steady pace. The birds were loud too.

Tres beau!!! Thank you for taking us along.

@COGmercy thanks for watching.

Thank you. You are very kind with your words. Rather than talking about the Camino, let me just show you the beauty of the Camino.

We all missed the Camino when returning back to home and can’t wait to get back on trail again. Thanks for watching.

You’re absolutely right. Why bring extra weight. Phone or headlamp will do the same. The trick to packing for the Camino is the less the better. You’ll enjoy “the way”more than hauling weight on your back.

I’m so happy that you gave it a try and agreed they are comfortable shoes. When our feet don’t hurt much we tend to walk farther, which is an absolutely plus when hiking.

Tough day indeed, but so worth it. Thanks for watching.

Still slow and steady. The best way to experience the Camino is to just take my time. Whenever I’m at home reminiscing the days on the Camino how I wish I would take my time. I’m always the last one to arrive in town, but I was able to take in a lot from what Camino has to offer. Thanks for watching.

Right before I left Santiago I was looking at the weather and was thinking about you guys. You had it rough due to the cold and rain, but I hope it’s still a beautiful Camino.

Hiking shoes preferably because it has more traction. Lots of up and down on the Primitivo. Always size your shoe half or full size bigger. If you’re not sure about your shoes, then try them on and hike 15-20 km and you’ll see if it can handle it. My wife did the the entire Camino Frances in sandal. You do what is best and work for you. Good luck finding the right pair for your hike.

Marmot Alpinist GORE-TEX Jacket Men's. I like the rain jacket because it’s lightweight and it has zipper under the arm for ventilation and to prevent from overheating while hiking. Expensive at full price, they do go on sale often, and remember never buy at full price. It is always a good idea to invest in an expensive outer shell for future adventure. Thanks for watching Umberto.

It was a nice trail. I would totally recommend peregrino short on time to do the Camino Ingles starting in Ferrol vs from Sarria to Santiago. Seems less crowded and Camino Ingles is its own Camino, special. Yes, definitely shoes with cushions helped so much. And of course not necessary, but peace of mind with the water filter. The water bottle did keep water nice and cold. Wonderful first day.

Started the Camino on March 19 2024. First day there’s always excitement and hard to sleep. Best to get up and start the day early. Some hills, but nothing like crossing the Pyrenees to Roncesvalles. It was fun putting videos together. Nothing professional, just an iPhone and piece it together with iMovie. You’re still going strong on your Camino. Thanks for watching.

I’m super excited for your upcoming Camino. By now you should already dialed in on your gears. I bet you’re counting the days till take off. The first few days will be difficult as our body adjust to the walking. On my Camino Frances I met a 76 y o man working on his 13 Caminos. On Camino ingles I met a 70 y o man finished Camino Frances in 28 days. Slow and steady, as long as you get to Santiago, it’s the journey you’ll remember most. Buen Camino Sir.

Thanks for the excitement. Day 1 is always exciting, but challenging as our body adjust to the walking. Overall, it was a beautiful day. Thanks for watching.

We started mid June 2022. We got unlucky and experienced Europe very unusual heatwave. It was so hot that some town advise peregrino not to hike and stay for an extra day. We usually left with headlamp to beat the heat. Took us 35 days to get to Santiago due to rest day. It was truly a wonderful experience especially with family. Hope you and your daughter will get great weather and enjoy the best of the Camino. Thanks for watching Jeremy. Buen Camino.

Thank you!

Thanks for watching. The full loaded bag with everything comes in at around 8 kilograms. What’s heavy is the water. Water alone is already 2 kilograms, so best advice is to “camel up”, drink as much as you can at the water fountain especially on hot days. Cutting weight is hard because we want to bring everything with us for comfort, but you’ll be more comfortable and enjoyable if you carry less weight. You’ll be surprised that you don’t need a lot of things on the Camino.

Thankyou!! Great information

LOL rain skirt dance. Somewhat light weight this Camino. Didn’t bring poncho or rain cover. No extra battery or power bank. It was a good size and weight backpack. Always, thanks for watching.

Next Saturday, long video of day 1 with talking LOL. Thanks Marianne!

Wow Sir, that’s amazing! My all time best advice to myself and others peregrino is to slow down and truly enjoy the journey. When I am home and the Camino blues kicks in, oh how I wish to be back on the Camino. May is a great time to go. Buen Camino Joe!

Thanks Joe. I like your red Gregory backpack with the patch “pilgrim in training”. Which route are you going for Sir? Each route different and have something special to offer.

Super excited for you my friend. Wish you nothing, but safe journey and a very exciting “Buen Camino. “. Your thumbnails are getting better and better. 👍

“Buen Camino” doesn’t really happened until you get past Pamplona and it ends at Sarria. It’s part of the journey. When you do get a genuine/spontaneous “buen Camino” it’s much sweeter and meaningful. Hope you had a successful Camino. Big congrats on your completion Richard. Buen Camino to you my fellow peregrino.

Yes Sir, you just mentioned it and makes my heart skip a beat. I’m a sucker for green forest, trees, birds singing, I can get lost and still be happy. 😆 I’m so excited. Using the same bag for the Ingles, took out the sandals and added in tents and sleeping pad. Your videos are very good, but have to be there to fully enjoy the beauty of nature with little details that camera won’t able to pick up. Following your footsteps,wishful thinking but after Kumano it will be the trek in Iceland you did, that hike of yours was epic.

One day ahead of schedule because we wanted to push to Finisterre, but decided not to last minute. Instead we took the tour bus and visited all of Fisterra, Muxia, waterfall etc. Had the best seafood lunch in Finisterre town. Will post that video soon. Overall, beautiful Camino. Thanks for watching Lorenz.
