Was the Hill of Forgiveness always this hard?? Day 6 on my Summer 2023 Camino

  • (July 2023) Camino 2023 Day 6: Pamplona to Puente La Reina (with Eunate detour), about 27km
    Lodging: Albergue de los Padres Reparadores, 9 euros (difficult getting into/out of top bunk, coffee machine and vending machines, kitchen)
    A late night in Pamplona left me with tired legs in the morning, and the first half of the climb up to Alto del Perdón was tough! (But a break and an Aquarius helped get me through the last few kilometers). Then, the outstanding detour to Eunate!
    A big thank you to all of my current patrons, your support continues to mean so much to me! And if you’re thinking about joining our group there… come on over! 😊

    Love visiting Eunate ❤. I just finished my Chemin Le Puy in Pamplona in July and walked to Alto de Perdon and back as a day hike (30km). Did 1st Camino in 2013 and I don’t remember that climb out of Zariquiegui being that steep either 😂😂. Met many locals doing it for a Sunday afternoon stroll. 😊 Really enjoy your videos. 😎❤️🥾

      Haha I know, definitely a moment when I thought- "I'm not as young as I used to be..." And what a great idea, to finish in Pamplona but tack the walk to Alto de Perdon on as a day hike!

    • @NadineWalks
      @NadineWalks  Год назад

      For me it's hit or miss, and depends on how big of a day I've walked, how tired I am, etc. But I often want to at least take a little stroll around the place I'm staying! It can be fun to explore, as long as you have the energy :)

    • @NadineWalks
      @NadineWalks  Год назад

      I personally think that having walked any stage in the rain means that one day, you have to return to do it again in better weather ;) (especially a stage like this one, where there are nice views and a fun detour!)

    You must feel an old hand on Camino compared to a lot of the Pilgrims . Is the excitement still the same as you’re first Camino , guessing that you’re back at work you are ready to go again 😊

    • @NadineWalks
      @NadineWalks  Год назад

      The excitement is still there, it's just different. Nothing compares to those first days on my first Camino, however, so in some ways it's hard for me to go back and walk parts of the Frances, because I know that I'm no longer that brand new, wide-eyed pilgrim, discovering it all for the first time. But there's also such a beauty in returning to the same places, and seeing how I've grown. (and yes, back at work now, and of course dreaming up my next walk!)

    That church looked like it was octagon shaped which means it was likely built by the Templars. It could have been used as a waypoint. Didn't you go in? Or did you just admire it from afar? :-)

      @NadineWalks  Год назад

      Oh I did go in! (there's one video shot of the interior ceiling). However they closed between 2-3 and of course I arrived to buy my ticket at exactly 1:48. So I only had about 10 minutes to walk around, and didn't have time to sit inside.

    Which is harder the camino frances or from Porto?

    • @NadineWalks
      @NadineWalks  Год назад

      I'm not really sure, I think they may be fairly similar in terms of difficulty level? Both tend to be recommended for a first-time pilgrim, and other Camino routes (Norte, Primitivo) are more difficult. I've only walked the Camino Portuguese Coastal route- not the central- so I can't comment from experience on the difficulty level. But because each is fairly popular, they tend to have enough albergue/services on each stage, which helps make them not as difficult as other routes.

    Funny.... I was just watching the first 3 episode season of the BBC Pilgrimage series and the Romanesque church was featured. In the series apparently one of the caretakers is an American... is he still there? Anyway, the premise of the program is... we follow 7 British "celebrities" of various belief/non-belief systems as they walk sections of a pilgrimage route over a two week period. Each season (there have been 5 so far) features a different pilgrimage route... this year it was Fatima. Here are three from this year's edition talking about it during a British morning show... ruclips.net/video/_Ba6xNyR460/видео.htmlsi=HQ_pAmtlx8bz8bJL Also, really enjoying this little detour you took. Cheers and adventure on!

    • @NadineWalks

      Oh thank you for this!! I'll definitely check out the link. I didn't see the American caretaker, though it's possible he's still there. I only saw one young man behind the "ticket booth", it was very quiet when I was there.
