This was great to see, all those familiar places...i walked for 3 months this year from my home in Belgium to Santiago and on to Muxia and Finisterre. I loved walking through France, i loved the camino Francés, i loved the Meseta and so many other places ♥ Thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing

Great video, Kate. As usual! Borda looks amazing. Only concern is that it seems to be right by SJPDP. Do you know the approximate distance between SJPDP and Borda? Getting ready for my first Camino in 4 months. Thanks a lot!

it's not Camino but in Iceland I was getting attack by Arctic tern Bird. there were so many wild animal I was by myself. I have never hitch hike before it was first time I was brave enough to ask help to save me. luckily I met sweet couple who saved my ass from middle of nowhere. I am very shy person. I cannot believe I over calm that shyness to save my stupid ass walking into wild.

Congratulations on an outstanding achievement and thanks for taking us along.

Hi, great video,i have a question, what did you use to record this?, thanks

I lovd your video. Came back from walking Sarria and few days in Santiago. I allready want to go back. Respect that you could walk it all. Santiago artival even not religouse was very emotional for me. That i achived it with my healthissues. I can only imagine what it must be walking the whole thing. If i am lucky in September i might be going back and walking to Fisterre. I tried Octopus too in Melide. I hated it😂

Not very smart wearing earbuds or headphones while walking the Camino, especially on the sections along highways and such. Even on the sections away from vehicle traffic there's the danger of not hearing a bicycle approaching behind you. I have walked the Camino several times, different routes. I've literally seen pilgrims getting hit by bicyclists. Prospective pilgrims, walk safely. Don't wear headphones. 🙅‍♂

What time of year did you go

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Buen Camino and ultreia

Quick tip...learn how to ask in Portuguese "where can I buy some laxatives" before you get there !!

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the tips. Preparing for this for next year, and just getting my gear and such together now planning things. I appreciate the input

I didn’t relish dormitory sleeping before I went. So I decided to avoid albergues and hostels as best as possible. But I HAD to book the monastery at Roncesvalles and Hostel Suseia 😊 at Zubiri because of lack of options. I also booked an Airbnb room at Pamplona for night 3. I loved the first two nights. Everything was perfectly set up for pilgrims. Cold can from the vending machine to chug on arrival, laundry facilities, bed, shower, a meal to eat with other pilgrims, sleep of the dead due to exhaustion, breakfast and away! The Airbnb was awful. Nothing was convenient. I missed the buzz of the travelling circus. From then on, I ONLY stopped in A&H. Another fave was Hostel B in Belorado. A huge dorm of widely spaced single beds. No bunks. Hostel Borda sounds a great option for Day 1 thanks!

Your Camino big vlog is such a pleasure. Thank you. I agree with all these points. I packed the guidebook when lots of people said to just photo the maps. I also took a kindle not realising that the entire day is about walking, feeding, cleaning, resting, repeat! No time for reading. My biggest error was not stopping on day 1 at Orrison. That day killed me. I only made it as far as Burgos. In 2018. Unfinished business. I’m looking forward to making my way through your other vlogs. I did the Fisherman’s Way in Portugal recently and that’s a big recommend. I wish I had a £1 for every Buen Camino greeting I heard on the Frances!

Are there any towels in the cabin?

thank you for taking us along on your camino… I know how much work it is to make a movie like this, and it’s great to see it through your eyes. buen camino! ☀️

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful and informative for us because we just booked our passages in June next year. Only difference is that we will bring our own car. I curious how it will be sitting on the curb side of the car when driving in England and Scotland. But at least then I won't try to shift gears with the doorhandle.....

Thank you for a GREAT VIDEO. It brought back memories when I did it in 2017 at age 70 and met my wife 🙏🏻

Warning: You have been infected by the camino longing disease. You will inevitably do it again. I have walked it 9 times since 2013. Three times full Frances, three times from Burgos. One time camino portuguese, one time Primitivo and one time Via de la plata. This may sound strange - but try to disconnect from your first camino, you can't relive the "First Camino" and it's hard not to compare.

Hi, can you please say which months you choose for your travel?

Thank you for reminding me of the adventure from SJPP TO fisterra. Perhaps one of the most genuine vids I have seen - and yes it will not be your last - from one who knows. Thank you for sharing Ultreia! Camino Joe

They take your car, right? I did t see any mention of that or of pets on the ship?

I have seen many Camino videos to get myself "prepared", but this one really has made me laugh and admire your stamina. I've also noticed some (almost) twin geographical facts - Burgos and Samos while in Bulgaria there's Burgas and in Greece Samos.

I loved your video and thank you for sharing your stories with us. I did partial stages of el Camino Del Norte in June and part of July due to timing. I have already requested my sabbatical for 2 months starting May 21, 2025 and I’m planning to complete the entire Camino this time. I’m obsessed with my feelings when I walked el Camino and think of it each day. Congratulations for completing it all the way to Finistère. Well done ❤

Great documentary. Thanks for sharing.

Just watching your video Kate, well done you 👏 I've done 2 caminos short ones. Off again next April doing Porto to Santiago it's so addictive. Would love to do St John later next year. Not sure If l could, l will be 67 then. I book private rooms not sure if l could stay in shared dormitory. Maybe l will be brave enough to do it 😅 working up to it . Buen Camino 😊

HI Kate, many thanks for this video. I have, just like you, done 40 days of Camino this summer (leaving SJPlP on Aug 8) all the way to Finisterre. I am, or better I was, not a hiker at all but enjoy a walk from time to time and my age is very similar to yours. The return to 'normality' hit me like never anything had hit me before. After 40 days without any big responsabilities (no house, car, job, kids, wife) the coming back was very heavy indeed. I love my wife and my kids and I do like my house and my job, but to have to deal with it all, more then ever because having not been there for over a month, was more then I had expected. After three weeks of being back I had a very low moment of feeling extremely depressed, having the feeling that i would not be able to save anything from my great Camino experience at all in daily live. I was so happy to have found your video to learn that that is quite normal and that things will look up again in a couple of weeks. So many thanks for your work and I loved you entire Camino documentary. Hope you're doing well. Buen Camino. Berten

What month did you do this?

Thank you for the adventure. I greatly enjoyed it. Peace and God bless!

Kate I am half way through the full camino. I walked the central Portuguese in 2022, the coastal in 2023, in 2024 I will walk from Pamplona. Yes I experienced exactly the same emotions and craving simplicity on return to Australia. Unless others have experienced the camino it is so hard to describe. I know in my heart my camino journey will not be over until I reach Santiago new year. My fantasy is to finish on my 74th birthday. I also now declutter and my priorities have changed so much…for the better. Life is more positive. Thanks Kate, now back to the long documentary.

🎉 fabulous!. Well done 👍

Thank you for sharing your reflections on walking the Camino Frances. I really enjoyed watching your video, and I’d go so far to say it’s the best! I am 71 and I’m planning on walking the Camino Frances in May/June 2025. A question I would like to ask is how much training did you do beforehand? Thank you for sharing your experience, knowledge and wisdom xx

Great job 🚶‍♀️🥾

We did 2 caminos in 2018 and 2019. We used permethrin pretreated sleep sheets purchased from REI. They lasted through multiple washings. Never had a problem with bedbugs. I saw one dead one under my sleep sheet at one alburgue. I figured the sleep sheets worked!

My daughters and I also brought a Scrubba in 2018, used it once and then had to carry it the whole way. Back then it weighed a lot more than a few grams! Good to know the makers have lightened it.

What season did you do the Camino?

Nice video. Very well done. Thank you for sharing.

what was the timeframe, date-wise, on this trip,(from-to) thank you, awesome movie...doc.

Sorry Kate, I've just started to watch and if I missed this I apologize. Wondering what month you were walking this Camino?
