Im thinking of walking this route in March 2025 (not sure early or later in the month). Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! I'm sure you'll have a great time, really glad I chose to walk in March so I hope it'll be good for you too 😊

[@LucyMSadler]

Wow, looks like the start of an amazing adventure! Thanks for taking us along with you and showing us some great views - can't wait to see the rest of your Camino content 😍

[@summitwithsophie]

Get ready to be jealous 😉

[@JamieHarding5]

Well done. You looked so happy, nice you picked up with a few people. 7.30am starts are good. Morning is the best time for hiking. Looks fun, hot but fun. Good times👋

[@summitwithsophie]

Thanks Jamie! We hiked early the whole way and I absolutely agree, it was very nice setting off early in the morning ☀️

Thank you Stanley!

[@tejave0ojnc]

Awesome! Are you planning to release new videos (your second and subsequent days on the Camino)?

[@summitwithsophie]

Yes, I will do! Hopefully next one coming next week. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed 😊

[@jdbro9956]

May I ask what dates you began and ended your journey? Thanks

[@summitwithsophie]

Sure! I began the Camino on 19th March and I arrived in Santiago on the 20th April. The whole thing took 33 days but only 31 days of walking, as I took 2 rest days in the middle 😊

[@jdbro9956]

@@summitwithsophie Thanks for the reply...I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your videos.

There is no "off season".

[@summitwithsophie]

Very true, Sarria was incredibly busy 🤣 But you knew what I meant, of course
