So happy that you have returned after having to cut recent walk short. I walked it from 5th May for 33 days and have started planning my same Frances walk next May. I’m absolutely hooked!
Great to see you back on the Camino. I finished June 2nd, and must admit: I was tired and ready to go home, but this 59 year old is already yearning to go back. Something about being a pilgrim-not a tourist-draws you back. Buen Camino!
Great to see that you made it back to the camino! It seems like a dream that I was there just a couple of months ago. Have a safe and fulfilling walk and look forward to future videos.
I remember those cats. They would not leave the pilgrims alone unless you give them food. Haha. They were very aggressive when they see you open up you pack.
We had a heck of a time in May. The tours would take their group to the top of hills and then they would walk down the hill and beat us to the albergues.
Absolutely amazing nice sound. Guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak Gilgit-Baltistan Barah Valley. Add this sound in your bucket list
Im just curious, is the Camino ment to be walked multiple times? It just seems to me the bed situation would be alleviated if people only did the walk once.
You can also say that it would be much easier to get a table at a nice restaurant if people only went once. If that restaurant books all of the tables for a party every once in a while on a random night and the regular customers can't get in, those regular customers will go somewhere else in the future. The end result is that restaurant will be out of business because those large parties don't happen every night. You have to be somewhat careful in offending your regular customers, the ones who keep your doors open.
@@TheCaminoGuide Your analogy doesn't work as we are not talking about one restaurant in one location. We are talking about multiple auberges over huge distances. Hundreds of thousands of people walk the Camino and lots struggle to find beds. Surely multiple people on their 6, 7, 8th Camino is creating a bed shortage for first timers.
@@rickhough I've only done the Frances. I usually come for the social atmosphere and I like that there are cafes and water fountains everywhere. I don't have to carry any food and only a small amount of water.
@@ericsemple4820 Yeah, It's been so hot and seems like it may get a bit hotter in August. I got rid of a couple of items and downsized the pack. I didn't need the blanket I had brought. It's too hot in the albergues and the private rooms already have bedding. So I'm trying some different options and I'll probably do a video on it later for people interested in doing a summer Camino.
How’s the humidity? I’m starting my first Camino from SJPDP in August. I’ve been training in FL but the humidity here is unbearable, typically 70-90%. It feels like a sauna. Should I expect similar conditions over there? Thanks and Buen Camino!
@@TheCaminoGuide 82 sounds wonderful if that’s the high. Around here it was 79 degrees with 91% humidity at 6:30 AM this morning. It just gets worse after that. I think it’s going to be much better over there. Buen Camino!
@@Getoverit-001 I started out with a pair of altra lone peaks that I had in my closet. They were brand new so I thought I better use them at some point. But I could already feel the pain in my heels on the first day, which is why I don't use them anymore. So I traded them out in Pamplona and I'm currently wearing Asics gel nimbus. They feel about the same as the Brooks adrenaline. I was going to wear my Brooks Ghost Max shoes that I've been happy with, but I had worn them enough days in the month before I left that I had worn quite a bit of the tread off and I wasn't sure they would make it to the end.

What? A group of 150 people prebooked at Roncesvalles? They should definitely not have allowed that man. Great video and great spirit!
Great to see you out there walking again!

Hi Greg, I really enjoy your videos.
Buen Camino mon ami!
Blessings & Ultreia

Good to see you back. I’ll be starting my second camino on August 1 and can hardly wait to get back out there.
Buen camino peregrino!
Great to see you are back
Café con leche on me. Thanks for the update.
@@mauibob9488 Woohoo! ☕ Thank you
Always nice to hear your updates! Buen Camino! :)Aurora

I start the Camino Norte next week. I'm starting from Biaritz / Bayonne. Maybe not too busy on the Norte also? Buen Camino
@@ER-im7md yeah, I doubt it's busy. Probably cooler weather than what we're having on the Frances at the moment.

Greg, what other Caminos have you done? I did the Frances in April/May and am doing the Salvador/Primitivo in September.

Did you switch backpacks?

@@TheCaminoGuide in the video it looks like you started with an Osprey and later some other pack
