What a great evening I’ve just had, joining you on the Camino. I’m so enjoying your commentary, thank you. I will start from St Jean in March 23, this is helpful prep. I have to wait now for your final instalment now.
Thank you so much for this little gem of youtube. I really enjoyed watching it! I’ve walked the Camino Frances in 2010 and parts of it in 2011 and 2012. 2015 I've walked the Camino de Norte and met a Belgian guy who now is my husband. We'll be on the Camino Frances in may to show our two little girls where mum and dad met and your videos help us to calm down the excitement a bit. :D
"When do hills become mountains?" After living in the Northwest of America for most my life, I can say this. There's still no answer, nor will there ever be, thank goodness. We all need simultaneous points of connection and points of divergence. Some things just should BE, left alone, and with a sense of mystery. This former Infantryman after seeing what I have seen, think that we all need to stop Pushing or Rushing the Overall timeline of our own life or the collective.
Fast Walker, love your stuff. Solidifies my notion to spend my 70th birthday on the Camino next year. You're posed question, "maybe I'm a loner? Of course you are! It takes one to know one.😉
I had to skip Leon because it was too much for me. I ended up taking a bus to Astorga for 2 nights and visited the cathedral - it was really a lovely rest stop. Thanks for posting these videos!
Really enjoying your camino journey and appreciate you making such an effort to share your experience We walked the CP around the same time as you and Camilla and I was bitten by a dog first day out of Porto near vila de conde...spent several hours in emergency room but thanks to the fantastic ambulance team and nurse and doctor we were able to carry on our Camino I love dogs but I really tried to avoid them after that experience but as we know,dogs seem to be everywhere on most caminos Thanks again for your vlog and merry Christmas to you and yours
Wow what a great job on making your video!! It's a lot of effort you put into it! I've watched it in segments over the last few days. I've really enjoyed seeing your journey! I can't wait to do the Camino again. Thank you for sharing your Camino! God bless you!
Thank you for filming and posting your trip. We're sure it took extra effort to record it, but it gives many of us great enjoyment, we're sure. You've given us the gift of a fascinating view of a trip we'll unfortunately never make. We've followed your trip several times (wonderful scenery while walking the treadmill), and we've always chuckled at your determined search each morning for a good cup of coffee. We also look forward to starting our day with a strong, black cup of coffee. The best we've found is a dark-roast, whole bean coffee ("Intense French") roasted by Cameron's Coffee in MN, USA. To thank you for publishing you videos and sharing your trip, we'd like to send you a 2 lb. package of this coffee. So, if you'd like to try it, just let us know your shipping address. Stay well!
Hej Funderade du inte på att köpa nya skor. Vet av erfarenhet att man vill ha sina väl använda skor. Men dina verkade det som hade gjort sitt. Så kul att följa dig. Har gått samma väg ett par ggr
Hej, nä inte under vandringen, jag hittade sätt att laga som jag tyckte fungerade men visst hade jag inte hittat den där svarta rullen med självhäftande ”golvskydd” ( var till för bord och stolsben) så hade jag nog blivit tvungen börja leta nya skor. Tack för att du följer mig och är glad att du gillar videon. 😃🙏
I feel like I’ve hiked with you 6 hours. Thank you! Do you have any advice for me- I plan to hike from SJPP starting April 29th 2024. Will albergues be open then?
I really enjoyed your camino clips, thank you for your good presentations. We are similar age, me 68.I did the Francais when 64,same type walkiing, mostly solo but enjoying company too at times. Our speed is similiar altough you are slightly faster. What ratio did you use sugar and salt in your water and would you still recommend? Thank you again😊
Hi I’m glad you liked my videos. 😃 This works for me, i.e. an adult I use this prescription: 1 liter of water 6 leveled teaspoons of granulated sugar (1 teaspoon = 5 milliliters). ½ teaspoon salt (½ teaspoon = 2.5 milliliters) Mix water, sugar and salt. It is important that all the sugar and salt have dissolved and that the liquid substitute is transparent before drinking. The drink can be flavored with two teaspoons of concentrated fruit juice or juice. Boil the water first if you are unsure of the quality of the water, for example if you are abroad. Then mix the cooled water with sugar and salt. Be very careful with the measurements It is very important that the dosage is correct if you mix it yourself. Use exact teaspoon measurements, not standard teaspoons. It is important not to take too much salt and to use regular salt, not herbal salt. Don't take too much sugar either. Drink a little at a time, but often. but it is best to use liquid replacement that you buy, so that the dosage is exactly right.
@@phil9205 thanks 🙏, she was back home after walking Camino Portuguese, I walked that Camino with her and den I walked Camino Frances by myself when she needed to go home and work. 😃
@@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker Ah, and it worked well? The Danish 'Hærvejen' also had an app, that worked very well. Did you make a similar video-series on the Norte as you have done here?
@@ToneGabrielsen hm, kanske för att jag är envis 😃 Men inte nog med det, skorna var bra då de hade en bred tåbox och de var lätta. Sedan efter att jag hade gått i ”zero drop” skor länge såg jag det som en risk att byta till en annan typ av sko då min kropp måste vänja sig vid det. En annan anledning är att jag har en storlek 46 och det är svårt att hitta skor som har en bred tåbox och är lätta i den storleken. Ofta när jag tittade i butiker hade de inte den storleken.
My husband wants me to ask you how come you didn’t stop at a shoe store in Leon and buy yourself a new pair of sneakers? He saw you passing one shoe store with great discount signs all over and then you passed a main multilevel National store and you didn’t stop either. He wants to know desperately because he says you have been complaining about your shoes and mending them a few times. Why on earth you didn’t buy new shoes 😅 He also wants to know why you didn’t stay in Leon? It seems like you avoid the bigger and most prominent cities along the way for overnight stay. Thank you 😂😂😂
Hi 👋🏻 Thanks for asking 😃 as I say at the end of my film (Sarria), the feeling for the shoes became a love/hate story. They were light and had a wide toe box. I need a large size (not easy to find) and these shoes were a non drop shoe. (Have a certain influence on my body especially my lower back) Spending 200 eur and "just buying" new shoes might have solved the problem with the holes on the inside of the shoes but I could just as well have got new other problems with the new shoes. So I kept them and tried to fix them instead, which I did several times, and finally I solved the main problem in Sahagun (village before Leon). Yes I avoided to stay in the larger villages because it’s more expensive, I have stayed there before and I think I found nice albergue with nice spirit in the smaller villages. I hope I answered your questions .. 😃🙌🙏☀️🚶🏼♂️
@@Per-Ola_a_camino_hikerthank you! We haven’t gotten to the end of the video yet, but it makes sense what you’re saying. I will tell him, he’s a bit inquisitive and curious 😁
I love watching you walking with you and listening to you but why didn't you just buy new shoes in Leon? Why did you keep going in those awful pitiful worn out shoes?
Hi 👋🏻 Glad you like my films 😃 hm, maybe because I'm stubborn 😃 But not only that, the shoes were good as they had a wide toe box and they were light. Then after I had walked in non-drop shoes for a long time, I saw it as a risk to change to another type of shoe as my body has to get used to it. Another reason is that I'm a size 46 and it's hard to find shoes that have a wide toe box and are light in that size. Often when I looked in stores they didn't have that size.
I am the husband with all the questions about your sneakers. Also, I wanna know why you did not pick up a loaf of bread and 8 ounces of ham on put it in your backpack so you always have food with you at all times. If I was walking to Camino, I would have that in my backpack at all times you seem to be buying donuts and then throw half of them away. I’m really enjoying the videos though. 😊 you seem to be a good fellow. 🫡
Hello 👋🏻 I like that you ask questions.😃 yes my eating habits may not be preferable.😂 I eat relatively little when I walk (during the day) mostly coffee, torillias and crossianter, then I eat more in the evenings. Sugar has a big effect on my body so the time I bought donuts 🍩 they were way too sweet, I tried to give them away but no one wanted them, I usually bring peanut, dark chocolate and raisin and mixed them in a plastic bag as a reserve, that keeps me going if the blood suger level becomes low. I have had bread 🥖 and ham and cheese with me sometimes but it’s many places to stop at along the Camino Frances, so I usually have these cafes as goals. When walking via Podensis I always had ham and bread with me.
@@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker he loves your videos, but now he says thanks to your videos he no longer wants to walk the Camino. It seems to him like a full time job without the pay, just spending 😅

Just in case nobody has said it. Thank you for being "Real” and "Çonsitent" through all your travels on every level of being a human!!!

Enjoying again your camino,
you are not a hill but a mountain of a person
Thanks 🙏😃
Thank you very much for all the work you put into these movies! Desperately waiting for part 5 🙂
Thanks 🙏
Would love to see more of the inside areas of albergues.
Hi 😃, there will soon be a film about the accommodations along the Camino on this channel.
👍🏻Glad to hear. You make a lovely couple. Keep
Up the good work. And rest your feet 😃
@@phil9205 Thanks 😃

Your shoes can certainly tell lots of stories.
Indeed 😃☀️👍🏻

Thanks 😃☀️🙏 Thank you for your comment and Buen Camino.
Your impact branches OUTWARD like the tree of life despite the negative.
At the END....that's all we can hope for...
Doing the best....
I love how a single bridge in orbigo represents a love story strong enough to pass the test of time.
I had to skip Leon because it was too much for me. I ended up taking a bus to Astorga for 2 nights and visited the cathedral - it was really a lovely rest stop. Thanks for posting these videos!

I have been enjoying your blog as we traveled much the same route this past year! The cruz de ferro was a special moment for me as well. Buen Camino

I think the Albergue will be open but you need to check the weather forecast for the Pyrenees. The first time I walked it was heavy wind and rain.

@@phil9205 thanks 🙏, she was back home after walking Camino Portuguese, I walked that Camino with her and den I walked Camino Frances by myself when she needed to go home and work. 😃
Did you get your camera fixed in Burgos?
No, it could not be repaired.
Hey again, did you use the camino app ?
No not this time 😃 when I walked the Norte in 2019 I did, app called “Buen Camino”
@@Per-Ola_a_camino_hiker Ah, and it worked well? The Danish 'Hærvejen' also had an app, that worked very well. Did you make a similar video-series on the Norte as you have done here?
@@HigherSofia yes 😃 and yes 😃
Kul att följa din vandring och dina funderingar. Vad använder du för kamera?
Tack, jag hade tre kameror med mig denna gång. Dji Pocket, GoPro och Canon 700D.
Hvorfor kjøper du ikke nye sko?
