Did you bring a gimbal? I'm debating bringing mine but I'll likely leave it at home since last time an extra hair tie seemed like extra weight. 😊

@@MakeBetterStuff hello, I did not have a gimbal and you’re SO right, anything extra feels like a brick, haha! When did you go the last time? Buen Camino!

Congratulations on completing the Camino de Santiago! Your journey is truly inspiring. As someone who has dreamt of undertaking the Camino myself, circumstances have held me back. Yet seeing individuals like you accomplish this pilgrimage fills me with admiration and hope.

Hi, can I know the exact month and date you went? Because I am going there May 15 to 25. I want to see your video to figure out what cloth I should bring. Thanks 😊

Hello! We started the Camino on May 13th. We had a misty first morning, but then beautiful weather thereafter. More rain once we hit the Galicia area. And a heatwave in the Los Arcos area. Have a great trip! Buen Camino.

what route down did you take from orisson ?

@byrdsonawire Жыл бұрын

We were on the Napoleon route from Orisson to Roncesvalles. We followed the signs all along the way and the map given at the passport office. There is a section that is shorter and steeper down from the top, but they told us to make sure we stayed right, don’t go left at the wind marker. People who went left had a very hard time with knees and ankles, but going right was tough too.

Hi! I was wondering if you could speak to how you travelled to St Jean Pied de port?

@byrdsonawire Жыл бұрын

Hello, we flew into Madrid, and took the train to Pamplona. From Pamplona, we hired the Caminofacil transport company to SJPP. It was the easiest way for us. I hope this helps. We stayed at the Only YOU Hotel Atocha in Madrid because it was right across the street from the train station.

We stayed at many of the same places as you. Every time I watch, I’m awed at your skill, the special moments you create, with rocks & moss, self-portraits below a sun umbrella & the sky above. Again, your beginning quotes & ending music, which I then often purchase. Thank you for sharing your Camino - and my own!

I just got back from doing the last Sarria to Santiago stage and I'm hungry for more. I think about doing that first stage but I have some fears holding me back. What if I get lost? It looks like there are a number of possible routes, how do I know which one to take? But your videos are definitely helping me. I would probably need to break up that first day into two as well. Thank you so much for these videos. I look forward to watching all of your Camino.

@byrdsonawire Жыл бұрын

Hello! I had the same fears!! And I tried to watch every video I could find on how those first two days would be, and while nothing can truly prepare you for it (not in a bad way, but for how amazingly beautiful it was), I found navigating was the easier part, if that helps at all. I was more worried about my knees, but breaking the day up was definitely the right choice for me. If you do the same, I highly recommend getting reservations for Orisson and Roncesvalles as soon as they are available to make. It was a game changer! I wish you the best and I hope you can get back out there. Sarria to Santiago was so green and lush! 🩵💚

Also, the KZbin “Cruisin’ With The Colemans” is a good one as they are out there right now and posting videos.

Do you think it would have been easier to send your pack ahead?

@byrdsonawire Жыл бұрын

After Sarria is about the time I finally decided to send some of my stuff ahead. I bought a second smaller pack, threw extra stuff in there and sent that ahead, and kept my big pack with me, because it was much more comfortable and sized to my body.

@joannenardoni17 Жыл бұрын

How heavy was your pack. How did you train for this Camino.

@byrdsonawire Жыл бұрын

My pack was 25 pounds at the beginning and I could’ve gone lighter for sure. I “packed my fears” as they say. I started training for the Camino a year before I left, that is probably excessive and not necessary. Most people will say 16 weeks prior to leaving. I started my pack weight at 15, and built up from there, eventually carrying 35 lbs, so that when I did eventually leave for the Camino, my pack was actually 10 pounds lighter than what I was used to. I also found some good hill hikes in my area to train on.

My goodness, the quality of your video, narration, music, and photos are superb. Every time I watch and listen, I marvel. My husband and I are watching them all again on this one year anniversary. He was following along with me on a long wall map and his own Brierley guidebook. We recently took a New England road trip, and I took many more videos. I learned from you how much video adds to your memories.

@byrdsonawire Жыл бұрын

Thank you SO much for saying all of this. Makes my heart happy to know you enjoy the videos and they are helpful to people wanting to make this trek. I learned SO much!! I hope you had a great trek to New England!! No one quite understands the Camino, unless you’ve been there so it’s nice to have folks to talk to about it.
