Hi Gav. Absolutely loved your series of videos. The VDLP is such an overlooked Camino (which perhaps is a good thing) and one that I think gives a far more authentic experience of rural Spain than the French route. Loved your dry Ozzie wit which really added to the fun. Got to love those whipper snippers! On a trip of that length you have really think about pack weight. I carried too much and unfortunately developed stress fractures in two toes about a day south of Salamanca. With the aid of some good Spanish pain meds, I managed to compete the walk but it was tough at times. Having said that, we’d walk it again in a heartbeat! Looking forward to your next installment.

Thanks Ruby, Yes, I think the Via de la Plata is special because there aren't anywhere near as many walkers, and in an odd way, I hope it stays that way for walkers who like a bit more tranquillity and time on their own. I agree totally regarding pack weight - those fractures sound painful. I tried really hard to keep my pack weight to a minimum. The reality is that you can always acquire things in the towns you pass through. I purchased a pair of thongs on my first night in a $2 dollar/variety shop. I looked up the Spanish word for thongs on the phone, however the Chinese/Spanish woman in the shop thought I was wanting to purchase a G-string! All part of the experience.... Cheers, Gav.
