#5 The Difficulty of Wild Camping in Spain // Bike Touring Europe
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 окт 2024
- We didn’t know Spain could be so cold! Following the EuroVelo1 and later EuroVelo 3 on the traditional Camino Frances towards Santiago de Compostela and we were faced by temperatures of ~ 5°C in July! Definitely not what we expected, especially since the weeks prior were extremely hot. We had to toss the idea of sleeping in the tent and went for pilgrims hostels instead, but the experience was rather….special…..

It is so important that you show that this kind of journey is not only fantastic moments and smiling faces but it is also hard, cold and Full of doubts. I can almost feel your pain when is hard and share the joy when is good.
Totally understand and agree with how you felt and being disappointed at times on your journey. Thank you for sharing
Well done..
Nothing hurts like being super cold while camping. Also I'm proud of you for keeping that white top so clean and looking good while on the road
Haha about the white top, it got yellowish from all the sunscreen and after wearing it almost every day on that trip I had to (unfortunately) let go of it due to multiple rips and holes beyond repair 🥲
You will get into the routine of getting enough dinner and breakfast food and water, (including shower water) and then looking for a place to camp. You can always pour the shower water out if you decide you don't need it. I am so glad to see that I am not the only one that does not like spending a lot on accommodations.
Yeah looking back we definitely learned a lot along the way!
Really felt for you there when you were cold, tired and quite down looking for somewhere to camp. Glad you found somewhere in the end 😊 Keep the video's coming they are fantastic!
Thank you!
you are doing a great job showing the real things in bike packing. take care both
Love the honesty. I'm the same - I've stayed at holiday parks and freedom camps (the NZ term for wild camping), and I sometimes find the freedom camps better than the holiday parks in NZ. And they're free 😃 I started making vlogs about the freedom camps in case others want to stay there, but I've only made about five freedom camp vlogs so far.
Wild camping and Freedom camping are not the same. The former is discrete/hidden often unlawful. Freedom camping often means you're in the company of people you'd rather avoid - shitting and littering where they please, pissing up, shouting and playing music. They cannot leave nature alone, and are insensitive cretins. That is N.Z.
I will leave tomorrow morning for a wild camping bicycle tour across northern Spain.
Thank you for your great video! I'm a little bit concerned with finding wild camping spots, and potentially getting fined. I don't have much experience and watching this makes me feel a lot better :)
Have fun!
Please let me know how you get on as I'm doing the same in June 😊
@@midlifeadventures77 going great so far, made it to the south of France! No problems wild camping at all
@James Henehan are awesome well I'm actually doing it on a motorcycle but same thing
@@midlifeadventures77 good luck!
You are well done.
Hello, my wife and I are loving your videos and plan to do the EV1 from Roscof down to Spain September 2023. Please could you tell us what size rack pack bags you are using, they look a little bigger than 31 litres is this correct? Kind regards Phil
Hey Phil, I used the Thule shield pannier 25L! A detailed list with our gear is on our website ☺️
We found that mice are quite entertained with clumps of toilet paper or wads of paper towel.
Wooa good idea! 😄
nice trip 👌
Can i do wild camping in europe? Thank you! Big hug from Brazil! 🤗👍🏻
Yes, welcome. Can I do wild camping Brazil? Perhaps not in a favela..
Hey Alex, whats pretty girls name? You're riding at a reasonable altitude, so no wonder you feel cold. Make sure you are dressed for the weather and try to be happy by singing? haha. Thanks, and take care.
Haha my name is Vanessa ☺️cheers 😊
👌👍
Mehr Videos, wir wollen meeeeehr
Wir auch von euch!
Get you,re double wool undergarments. It,s the best when you;r active
I have cycled many many times 140 to 160km before I could find a spot to put up my tent because of the vegetation...in Australia...we like it or not...that is part of what we love.Putting up your tent in the dark is not nice...but yes..that is all part of the challange !!!
Headtorch.
You picked one of the worst albergues along the Camino for your first experience, I hope it didn’t put you off trying others along the way
Tried multiple, also in 2018 when we hiked 😄 they were all so horrible 😵💫
Thank you so much for your testemony. It always nice to see the "other side". Nevertheless after watching all your videos in this eurovelo1 series i have to say that i consider that you did a major mistake in planning this bike trip. If you want to stay offgrid and enjoy nature and silence, your bike rig cant be a bike touring one. Bike touring rigs only work well in tarmac and using tarmac is the opossite of nature and silence. Other thing that is opposite to enjoy nature and silence is doing this trip in June in beach areas. If you used a bikepacking rig, your trip would be much more rewarding. Im portuguese and i do aprox. 4000km/year offroad and i enjoy a lot nature and silence and agressive driving is not a problem. 😁Keep up cycling.
For many reasons camping is ilegal in Spain but most important reasons are; fires & dirty people.
That's not the main reasons. The main reason is economic. Spain relies heavily on tourist money. Campsites in Spain are too expensive. They are also noisy and attract thieves. Wild camping, or stealth camping eliminates the noise and thief problems. Also, I never light fires or leave litter.
@@emptyjampot6634 I am sorry, I simply can't agree with your ideas.
@@Tirikitaon I think you would be happier if Franco was still alive.
@@emptyjampot6634 I don't need Franco alive, you keep him alive for me.
@@emptyjampot6634 You see Franco everywhere , that is your excuse for everything .
scappati dalla spagna troppi problemi a fare campeggio libero pieno di divieti per tante cose la mia bici non andrà mai più in spagna la terra è grande
Please reply:
sorry downvoted for the extremely annoying incessant background music, despite otherwise great content.
Why do you think that ppl interested in peaceful cycle touring, camping , want music over everything?
I really am curious- as a pro broadcast sound engineer - why you made that choice. does youtube peer pressure make you think you have to have incessant music for it to be good video?
...
.
Obviously the concept of „tastes differ“ is something you have never heard before 🙃
Oh and I really am curious myself: are you aware of your ignorance? I never understood why people on the internet need to be like that….just don’t consume content you don’t like and move on with your life, Jesus.
I didn't find the background music extremely annoying nor incessant. I think these videos are very well filmed and edited. I enjoy them very much. If you are so critical and intolerant how do you manage cycle touring where some times you have to put up with much discomfort or irritations? Take a chill pill. Troll.
Wildcamping in Spain is Ilegal.
So what? If you need permission to wild camp then it's not for you. I've wild camped all over Spain, travelling with a small daypack and ultralight gear. Just put my bivi down somewhere discreet and get some sleep. Simple.
@Empty Jampot obviously, you care only for you want and you do as you like, fine but for all of us that do care for others and have respect for other people customs and laws, remember that wild camping is Ilegal in Spain, unless you have permission from the owners.
Camping is a basic human right. Spain transgresses against God in making camping illegal. Spain is an open prison, like all places controlled by Government. Obey the Law of Nature, and of God, not fraudulent law made by corrupt men in suits.
Spain can be an overrated nightmare
Spain has a lot of extremely ugly regions. It's a country best toured by motorcycle. Bicycles are more suited to France or Germany.
@@emptyjampot6634 What has the aesthetic quality of a country got to do with how you travel through it? It will still be beautiful or ugly whatever means of transport you choose to take.
@@alexmorgan3435don't be silly. People who cycle tour long distances do so for the scenery. Much of Spain is boring. France is a much more interesting country to tour.
Always carry ear plugs for the hostels.
I’m sleeping with earplugs every day 🙉
