[@davidgutesleben1266]

A Film without Music. I Love it. Beautyful Landscape. This is my next Camino. Thank you

[@brigittegaillet5864]

Merci à vous pour ce florilège d'images

[@bernardcorbet4199]

no comment, no music, original and beatiful.

This was a beautiful overview and a delightful way to get a sense of the trail.

[@jonmorris9779]

I did CDN in June 2022 from Irun and it was amazing and really challenging. Your video has helped me patch together my memories of the trail. Thanks and great work.

[@currieleggoe1444]

That was perfection!! I have walked del Norte and it was a pleasure to get such a lovely overview. My memories surrounded and blended with your film and I will be smiling all day today because of it. Buen Camino for your continued life journey.

[@davidz1205]

Thanks!

[@jimkwan1807]

Great vid...planning on my Camino El Norte March 2023

[@serichards33]

This is perfect! Thanks for giving me a wonderful overview!

[@wejherowo7979]

One of the best camino videos i saw ! Short but so beautiful and full of memories❤

[@RichieReinvented]

Thank you. Beautifully done. It's filled my wife and I with inspiration. We leave in seven weeks. Buen Camino 🙏

[@davidz1205]

Nice! I have to admit, if I was going to do it again I would bring my reflective umbrella again! It rained on us a lot and it was super hot on those dry days (110F / 43F). It was hot mostly towards the end of the trail since it was more inland. Buen Camino! Also BOOKINGS.COM app helped to book a place to stay.

[@pecezeta865]

Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing your walk 😊

[@francetraveller1343]

Fantastic! I walked the Norte in May 2022. Your video brought back all the memories.

[@fernandosilva314]

I did it in 2021 From 7 caminos done by myself, this is the best of them all

[@elvicity1960]

Wow, my cammino will start 5 August and i am happy ti heart that this ist the best ... 😊

[@annajolanta9129]

Thank you so much! You have done a great job! I will start this July from Bayonne

[@rickchollett]

I will be walking it this Spring!

[@adrianmartingomez1952]

Que video más bonito 😍😍😍😍 muchas gracias por traer recuerdos del camino ( creo que debo volver 😊)

[@mikebarton]

Enjoyed that. 👍

[@sarahsundstrom1425]

It looks like it would be complicated to follow? I'm used to mountain trails without a lot of road and city until you get into town to resupply so they're pretty easy to follow in general Did you use gut hooks?

[@davidz1205]

I used GAIA app

[@mikarim.9300]

Thank You for sharing you journey . The video was beautiful! Can you please tell us when you started walking?

[@davidz1205]

We started walking from San Sebastian June 22, 2022 and reached Santiago de Compostela July 18, 2022. Thanks for the kind words!

[@Manglor824]

Will there be plenty of Albergues opened on the Del Norte in October and November?

[@davidz1205]

Not sure about that, sorry.

[@mdb3601]

Brilliant.

[@IllGetThere]

Stunning footage-you really did a beautiful job capturing the light and scenery throughout. Finally thinking about my next Camino and this was inspiring. What time of year did you walk? Thank you for sharing! And Buen Camino!

[@davidz1205]

Hiked it June 21st - July 21st. Thanks for the kind words! Look up "Efrén Del Norte" videos on KZbin, they really helped me plan out the trip. Buen Camino!

[@IllGetThere]

@@davidz1205 Oh, yes. Efrén is a Camino celebrity lol. Love his work. Thanks again for the info. Am looking at another Fall Camino, but your summer footage is tempting! 😊👍

[@peterc5167]

Inspiring and beautiful. I will do this year and expect to arrive along the Norte in September. How was it for accommodation? Much on roads?

[@davidz1205]

For accommodations, it was best to go through bookings and we reserved usually the day before. Our favorite hotel was Arbe (Deba), Hotel en Galizano and Hotel Avenida Real (Villaviciosa and nicest employees). The roads are endless. I would say 80% on roads (hard surface). For tips, avoid the long walks on highway A-8 because it is dangerous windy road w/o pedestrian walkway. Last tip is to hike all of the coast between Santiago Auzoa and Deba.

[@peterc5167]

Great thanks for the tips! Noting the hotels! Sorry about the hard roads, hope it does not detract too much. I’m starting in the summer from Belgium. Taking the GR655, via Paris and Tours, so hopefully quite fit by the time I reach Spain. Will take the Primitivo for the last section. Did you do that ? Trial packing today. Dress rehearsal over 5 days with a full pack next month. It’s exciting to plan such a trip. Your filming is impressive, must require some planning. Very well done.

[@davidz1205]

@@peterc5167 I didn't do the Primitivo, we wanted to stay along the coast as much as we could because inland Spain was soooo hot. Thanks for the kind comments! Happy trails!

[@neverlostpilgrim2817]

I loved this ! I just finished my “Norte” this fall. This was a beautiful full walk video. ❤

[@davidz1205]

Much appreciated!

De belles vidéos, où nous avons plaisir à re-découvrir là où nous sommes aussi passés. Si vous souhaitez découvrir un nouveau Chemin, une nouvelle région, réveiller votre esprit pionnier loin des sentiers trop battus et montrer de belles images, de beaux paysages ; alors un nouveau Chemin vous attend, il a été tracé pour vous, il vous ressemble. Ce nouveau Chemin d’Histoire, Chemin de patrimoine et Chemin de pèlerinage, c'est "Le Chemin des trois coeurs" (230 km). Pour marcher dans les pas du "Vagabond de Dieu", de "l'Ermite pèlerin", Benoît-Joseph Labre, et découvrir 5 petites régions aux caractéristiques très marquées et attachantes : le Charolais-Brionnais, le Haut-Beaujolais, le Beaujolais des Pierres-Dorées, la Dombes et les Monts d'or. Ce Chemin spécifique débute à l’Abbaye de Sept-Fons (Diou - Allier), et rejoint Ars-sur-Formans/Dardilly/Lyon. Ce Chemin s'inscrit si besoin dans le maillage des GR nationaux et internationaux et peut être une petite variante du Chemin d’Assise ou une grande variante de la Via Francigena. Ce tronçon se révèle d’une stupéfiante diversité et d’une foisonnante richesse patrimoniale avec : · Paray-le-Monial : « la petite Florence bourguignonne », · Semur-en-Brionnais, classé « plus beaux village de France », site clunisien sur le circuit des églises romanes du Brionnais, · les paysages du Charolais-Brionnais, candidats au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO, · Charlieu, cité médiévale classée parmi les « 100 plus beaux détours de France », · le Haut-Beaujolais - Beaujolais vert et le site marial de pèlerinage de Notre Dame de la Roche, · le Beaujolais des Pierres Dorées étincelant de couleurs avec Oingt, village médiéval classé aussi parmi les « plus beaux villages de France », · La vallée de la Saône avec Trévoux, également classé parmi « Les 100 plus beaux détours de France », · Les prémices du plateau de la Dombes avec le sanctuaire d’Ars-sur-Formans. . Et pour terminer, les Monts d'or, pour arriver en toute sérénité à Lyon. Cliquer sur le rond avec les marques du GR pour accéder à la chaîne consacrée à ce Chemin : site internet avec descriptif des étapes, traces, hébergements, commerces, restauration... Marcher, pèleriner, retourner à son Essentiel ! Bon Chemin ! Dominique

Just watched your Video loved it is the track suitable for an older person mid 70sIs their more difficult sectiins tan show😊

[@davidz1205]

It was difficult for me, lots of ups and downs, slippery areas on stone when it was wet, which was often when we went during the wet month of June 2022. Elevation gain of the Del Norte Trail 12,300 meters (40,000ft). I don't know your health and fitness, but I am not here to rain on your wish to hike the Del Norte. If I was going to do this hike again and in my 70s, I would grab two more friends/family and have one hike with you while the other drives to the next destination/hotel. The person who drives can switch off to hike with you the next day...or something like that. That would be fun! Also there is a lot of road walking on this trail so that driver can pick you up and skip that dangerous road walk. If you can't find a friend/family, you can start hiking on your local trails or join a hiking group and get to know them better and they might want to hike the beautiful scenery of Spain! Hope that helps! :)
