Camino Francés Winter Walk November - December

[@really7372]

Wonderful story and beautiful photography. So happy to watch a Camino that doesn't treat the Camino as a check off someone's bucket list. Loved the serenity of the trail in winter. Do a follow up on the challenges walking in the winter poses. Was there any time when you couldn't find accommodations. It seems we older folks, who are tortugas, make the jpurney successfully. Nothing succeeds like persistence, said President Calvin Coolidge.

[@rolfscaminos]

Wow, Thank you! I never had a problem with accommodation, a hospitalero at one of the first albergues recommended I use the aprinca website. .www.aprinca.com/alberguesinvierno/ It was always kept up to date with all the open albergues at the end of each stage.

Glad it helped! November is s great time to walk. Be sure to get the list of open caminos from aprinca.com as many albergue start to close. Also I have a whatsapp chat bot that will answer most any Camino questions you may have [phone]. Buen Camino!

I started the last week of November.

[@HillTrekkerSarge]

I have walked the Camino's Frances and Portugues. My first thought when I watched this video was way too cold and solitary a time to walk the Camino for me, but then I got to thinking how fortunate you were to have walked it just before the pandemic changed everything and who knows how long it will be before I can walk the Camino again. Good video. Thanks.

[@rolfscaminos]

I do feel very fortunate to have walked it when I did. It really was not that cold... but it was wet. :)

[@HillTrekkerSarge]

@@rolfscaminos I was on the Frances just before you were, in August-September 2019. Now I wish I had walked it again that same trip on another route like the Primitivo or Norte.

Thanks for this beautiful and (compared with so many other "Camino-movies" here on KZbin) unusual documentary! I had planned my first "walking Camino" this summer -- I have done two "del Nortes" on bicycle with my daughter so far. The tranquility and beauty of northern Spain in the winter, as you show it, gives me hope that I may still do my Camino this year.

[@rolfscaminos]

Thank you! I hope you get to go this year, I am hoping to do the Camino del Norte soon.

Thank you. I also really liked the Frances in the winter. Buen Camino to you!

[@grantellis1315]

I start my CF in St Jean Pied du Port on 5 October and hope not see see ANY snow at that time. Would prefer no rain either BUT from what I have watched that is very unlikley. I wil cope either way lol. I did a run here in Tasmania called the Triple Top Mountain Run where I encountered it all - never agail lol - was only 18 km but scarred me for life (for that run anyway). Was my third and final time! Am guessing you keep all the stresses behind the scenes because you present a calm and considered view that shows and gives confidence to the viewer. Actually have watched all your later videos before this one cropped up - love them all

[@rolfscaminos]

I mostly stayed in albergues. There is always an albergue open at the end of a stage in winter. If you want to stay in between stages you would have to stay in hotels. Gronze.com publishes a constantly updated list of albergues that are open in the winter months.

Enjoyed that, Rolf. I added your video to my public playlist "Camino de Santiago: documentaries".

Anyway, thanks for posting. It's good to see a Camino filmed out of season.

[@rolfscaminos]

I am glad you enjoyed it. As to your questions. There were few pilgrims on the route in winter... I just finished the Frances for the second time a few weeks ago and I started in mid October and there were still plenty of pilgrims. Most places along the Frances close November 1st. But Aprinca publishes a lust of albergues that stay open. You don't need a bigger backpack for winter...

[@kylep6194]

Very nice video. It’s good to see the winter conditions are bearable. I’d like to walk the Camino in warm weather; however, the number of peregrinos in the warm months is so high. I’d also consider starting in Barcelona. Spain is so beautiful.

Is there a video of your packing list for this hike? My wife and I are debating over how many pairs of shoes you took with you.

[@rolfscaminos]

Hi Roberto, I don't have a packing list right now but I am finishing a spreadsheet that calculates the weight of everything you pack. If you use a Mac I can send it to you. For my walk I used a pair old hiking boots and a pair of sneakers as they were well worn in... I never got any blisters. Initially I took with a pair of flip flops to use in the showers at the albergues, but I got rid of them as did't really use them as it was too cold. I do recommend you use some very high quality socks as they will keep your feet dry and blister free. I took 3 pairs of Wigwam brand Hiking socks, I highly recommend them. As far as clothing I took more than I really needed and got rid of some stuff along the way. Most albergues or hostels have washer - driers, so if you take clothes for 3 days you will not have to wash clothes every day. Hope this is of some help.

How did you film @0.11 intro where your walking toward the camera and @0.44 shoot of your boots while walking? How did you position your Samsung phone? Did you used a tripod?

I am glad you ask as I was alway laughing at how I would set up my phone... I actually never had the intention of making a youTube video out of it... I just was messing around with my new phone could do as I bought in Pamplona a few days into the walk. I didn't have a tripod... hence all the low angles. I just found some large stones and sturdied the phone by placing one in front and one in the back..:) But I actually ended up liking the angles, and probably would never would have gotten so low down otherwise. Once in a while I would put the phone on the muddy embankment or on the guard rail or a Camino milage marker on the side of the camino to get a higer view. For the boot shots and most of the ones where you I am filming myself I had a super cheap 10 euro selfie stick... Amazingly enough my phone survived without a scratch. :) Hope that was of some help to you...

The fade out in the intro was done in the edit by doing a fade to the same scene without me in it...

@@rolfscaminos You did a fantastic job on your hack-tripod. I'm still contemplating whether to bring my mirrorless camera and a GoPro on my next year Camino de Santiago.

I actually just bought a Insta360 and have been testing it and love it. I messed up a lot of footage with the phone on this walk as I didn't always pay attention to the settings. :)

Definitief op my bucket list om die enetjie in die winter te doen. Was lekker in die herfs maar n bietjie sneeu kan net interessant raak
