well said - and how true - there is much to learn as a follower of Jesus and God uses the Camino to teach me so much. The battle between flesh and spirit is a daily fight

great comment - thanks so much for watching the videos

I did this walk in September - May would be great i think

oh, not sure

So good!

I love walking it too - thanks so much for watching the videos - see you out there

yes

yep

amen

Glad you like it!

It was rude..... yet my honest feelings, but thank you for pointing it out and forgive me for my honesty ........ True pilgrims.......that is a question I remember the cast of "The Way" discussing, I think they talked about the need to suffer as a pilgrim. Anyway, you are just seeing a normal human being struggling with the reality of shared sleeping spaces - Snoring is a normal part of the experience if you stay with others, and yes, grace must be offered - hang on, that's what I said........ "I guess the pilgrim spirit is to forgive and give grace, and tonight, sleep will go on the American Express card!" - So I did what you asked of me to be a true pilgrim - And to all who might read this ...If you snore or don't snore, get on the Camino and grow, find faith and learn to forgive - God with give you to opportunities to show grace - sometimes you fail, as I have many times but keep walking and forgiving and searching.

The message of if you do not feel bad you should feel bad, was disappointing, but we all struggle at times. To be frank I get the frustration. Most snorers were apologizing all the time during my caminos (even if its part of life and a mass habitation), but there was a bloke who snored, smoked, drank wine aplenty then did not shower. I didnt sleep in the garden due to the snoring, but I do understand frustration for the lack of respect.

glad you enjoyed the video, my friend - filmed in 2023

I walked the Norte last year too. Great memories, and I'm determined to make time to do it again. Or maybe the Primitivo.

Do the Primitivo - by for the best Camino i have done - loved it so much

Thanks for the tip! My videos from the Norte are not as professional as yours, but you might enjoy them. Just search "Andy and Dave on the Camino del Norte 2023".

that is a great tip - glad to hear you found the veggies, and thanks so much for watching

thanks so much for watching my little vlogs - have you done any Camino's or are you planning your first one at the moment?

I’ve done the Frances this year, but I had to cut it short at Cruz de Ferro, as my dad was ill. And in planning my Camino I watched a lot of videos, some of yours included. And now I have the Camino blues.

thanks so much for watching - I am very much enjoying looking at the more remote paths to enjoy the soulful walks - but I also want to do the French way again at some stage

you are

love it too

I have just started this group on FB yesterday to bring the faith element to the front of the Camino facebook.com/groups/873357494427649

wonderful on the eyes and terrible on the feet - which has been your fav so far - thanks for watching

@@TheGingerVicar-iu4mbWalked Via Podiensis (Le Puy) twice….far less road walking, food, scenery less people, easy to find accommodation, relaxed walking. Having said that just completed 88 Temple Pilgrimage in Shikoku, now that is amazing, just the culture and history of Japan, downside 90% road walking, I was inspired by Efron, just taking more of a spiritual path, it’s about the journey to each temple, no race or having to walk long distances…love seeing you walk with your family, that’s very special…🙏

you will have a great time - thanks so much for watching, and I hope my vlogs have been helpful in your preparation - have a wonderful time

What a place!! thanks for watching

I was !!

I was walking in September - It was more of a battle of accommodation than the the norte which was also hard work - I think i just locked into a packed week

@@TheGingerVicar-iu4mb nothing like a bit of a bed race to put a spring in your step 😄 I walked past that albergue to stay in the 1000 year old monastery, it did look nice in your video tho

Not every pilgrim can afford hostels, private rooms or hotels. Nobody snores on purpose. When you’re not prepared for snorers, you’re not prepared on the Camino.

@@erikopdecamino3510 I agree with you in principle and I am passionate about the Camino being accessible to everyone, regardless of budget. But, I would say if you know you're a bad snorer you and cannot afford to get a private room then you need to at least try to help those around you - let people know you may snore, try not to drink too much alcohol before bed (this makes me snore) and possibly take some cheap ear plugs to hand out to people. All are welcome on Camino, but we also need to be mindful of others. Buen Camino

@@Caminohacks I agree that snorers (but nog only them :-) ) should take care with alcohol. The idea of handig outfit ear plugs seems undoable to me. One might need an extra backpack ;-) For those with a smartphone and Spotify: load a playlist with ‘white noise’ and sleep well. For me it works great.

thanks Mani - looking forward to hiking with you on the camino

Glad you enjoyed it - miss you son

Glad you enjoyed it - for me also it was the best Camino I have done so far! Sadly I did not have the HoverAir at this time - I used it to film on the Camino Portuguese - which I am also editing at the moment - have you seen the new HoverAir Max?

@@TheGingerVicar-iu4mb I'm waiting for the hands-on reviews on the new ones after launch as the reviews so far were only done at the press conference (and I'd like to see a proper comparison between them and the DJI Neo). Just wanted to know if you actually found it usable on the caminos as I have a tendency to get excited about new tech and then not actually use it too much... I really like the idea of them (size, simple functionality, etc) but wondered if the noise level externally was too annoying. Would love to be able to get some simple drone shots with something as small and packable as that though.

For me the drone was great and I used it more than I thought I would. Yes, it has limits but I loved it for filming. the fact you can fold it really helps with size - the Neo looks good but not sure it will fit in my pocket

@@TheGingerVicar-iu4mb Good to know. Thanks.

it truly is the best Camino - thanks for watching

it was

it's powerful to be alone with the creator

sadly its just me !!

thanks mate

thanks mani

glad you enjoyed the video

very stoked that you enjoyed the video - I guess that after a Camino or 2, we all start to learn what works. When and where is your next Camino adventure?

great - you will love it

the best

thanks so much for watching - I must try the Bedrocks - glad you are enjoying the videos - what is your next camino

Mate you guys would love it - I really enjoyed your European video - very cool

I have no idea - I pack as light as I can and never find out how much it weighs. It's light

Thats funny - 🤣

oh yes that is true - I always find the last 5k is really painful on the old feet
