Pilgrim | FULL Camino de Santiago Documentary (Camino Frances)

[@Cantairi]

Kate, just watched the complete video with my wife (who, due to being the caregiver to our 40 year old daughter who has an intellectual disability) has never done a Camino. She was inspired to witness your growth in confidence from week one to the end at Finisterre. She was surprised and delighted to see that I featured in the photo in Reliegos. She was equally delighted to see Harry as I had spoken about him so often. So the positive outcome of watching the video: we are going to try and arrange care for our daughter in order to take on a short Camino for myself and Susan in 2025. I enjoyed your reflection video. It was very thoughtful and realistic. Thank you and Buen Camino. Tony

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

That’s so lovely to hear Tony. I wish you and Susan a wonderful time on the camino together! Buen Camino!

Best video I have watched yet Bravo!

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Thank you so much! That means a lot! ☺️

[@maryspiering1205]

Beautiful, just beautiful. You were able to capture the emotions of the trail, spectacular views, and the shared experiences of other pilgrims. Yes, a privilege indeed to be able to do this trek. You have inspired me to do this soon. Thank you.

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Awww thank you so much Mary! 💚 I’m so glad you plan to do the camino soon! Buen Camino!

[@greghendrix326]

Kate. My wife and I have just finished watching your full Camino Video. I walked the same dates as you. Aug 21. - Sept 29th of 2023. We met along the way a couple of times and both times you were with Harry. On afternoon late Harry, you, and I sat on a bench in a town square. Harry and I talked while you edited your videos of the day. I wife really identified with you and was quite complementary of all your work putting this complete video together. To my surprise I am even in your video on day 7 or 8. It was such fun to watch your video, see some of the people I also met along the way (Harry, Christina, Debbie, Janet and Gary from Colorado, Jeanette). It was quite amazing as we watched the video with my itinerary in hand ,pictures I took which contained the date taken, and at the same time watching your movie. Thank you for allowing me to relive my journey and enjoy all your filming at the same time. Some of my family joined me on the Camino also. Three of my adult children walked different parts with me and it was so fun building those memories with them. Linda, my wife and I returned to the Camino and walked from St Jean starting on the 15th of September and slowly walked to Pamplona over a five day period. She is now officially hooked after watching your movie and having a taste of the Camino and wants to return and perhaps complete the journey in maybe three more stages. I wish you all the best and thank you for sharing your journey. Greg Hendrix from Alabama, (U S)

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Hey Greg! I remember you and chatting with you in Viana and walking into Logroño! I’m so pleased you got to enjoy the camino with different members of your family and that you have been back with your wife! Blessings to you and your family! 💚

[@KiwiJohn1951]

Hi, Kate. I, too, walked the Camino Francés during this time, starting on the 26th and arriving in Santiago de Compostela on the 26th of September. Who knows, we may have bumped into each other.

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Hi John That’s great! We possibly did see each other! Wow! you walked fast! Buen camino!

[@KiwiJohn1951]

@Kate_Pilgrim Thanks, Kate. Next year in late August, I will start the del Norte from Irun. I have the Camino bug!😂

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

oh wow! Another adventure awaits! 😀

[@joannejohnson]

Well done Kate for walking the Camino and making this beautiful film. 😊

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@andreasieffert2322]

I really enjoyed watching your video and journey along the Camino. What made your video stand out from others I have watched is the footage of your journey that you captured and shared...absolutely spectacular! Some of the music you chose at specific parts of the journey actually brought tears to my eyes - i.e. when you reached Santiago. Thank you for your sharing your journey.

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Buen camino!

[@roberthalley-frame5403]

Great overview of the Camino. My wife and I really enjoyed your journey and it brought back so many memories of our journey in 2024. Looking forward to a new journey in 2025!

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

So glad you enjoyed it and it brought back memories for you both! Buen camino!

[@AlexandraSiegel-v9w]

You are already ready for another one 😮? I watch this video just to see what to expect. I think I’m not physically prepared for this looong and challenging challenge. Hope by next year I at least make myself able to walk without any discomfort 16 km daily.

[@jerrilynn3331]

Hi Kate! I am really enjoying watching your documentary. I walked in Aug/Sept 2023. I love your commentary and all. I am leisurely taking it all in. Just Wonderful Kate!!

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Thank you so much! 💚

[@Michael_Matthias]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I have only watched up to Leon so far, but your story and your lovely way makes me want to walk again soon.

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Thank you Michael! 😊

I’ve lived up a mountain in Spain for twenty years and love the culture and people. Great video. Great effort. Well done! 👍🍷

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Awesome! Thank you!☺️

[@ianplagaro4742]

Brilliant video, thank you. We started about a week later than you in 2023 and it was wonderful to see so many places we had walked through. Buen Camino!

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Glad you enjoyed it! Buen camino! ☺️

[@ianplagaro4742]

I had tears in my ears when you walked into Santiago with people you met at the beginning. We had a similar experience and I was an absolute emotional wreck! We went back in September this year and walked the Camino Inglés. The plan was to walk out to Finisterre but disappointingly Storm Kirk had other ideas.

[@karebeck7681]

🎉 fabulous!. Well done 👍

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Thank you! 😃

[@michaelszklarz9254]

Thank you for a GREAT VIDEO. It brought back memories when I did it in 2017 at age 70 and met my wife 🙏🏻

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Glad you enjoyed it! That’s lovely to hear! 🥰

Thank you for reminding me of the adventure from SJPP TO fisterra. Perhaps one of the most genuine vids I have seen - and yes it will not be your last - from one who knows. Thank you for sharing Ultreia! Camino Joe

Wow, thank you! Yes more caminos and videos to come! Buen Camino!

[@SantPerez-cx8zo]

I loved every minute of your film Kate! Thank you for this labor of love. I walked the Frances exactly a year ago today. Your video brought back so many wonderful memories.

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Oh wow! Enjoy it! Buen Camino! 😀

[@leokaloper4132]

I have seen many Camino videos to get myself "prepared", but this one really has made me laugh and admire your stamina. I've also noticed some (almost) twin geographical facts - Burgos and Samos while in Bulgaria there's Burgas and in Greece Samos.

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Thank you! Yes I noticed there were similar place names too! Buen camino!

[@internationalpassengerprincess]

Really enjoyed watching your camino. I did the Sarria to Santiago camino July/Aug 2024. My first 2 hours on the camino had a singing noisy school trip, aside from that first day that was noisy and crowded,there was enough space for solitude even though I walked with family. I am yet to attempt to edit my video. Instead I enjoyed reliving the journey with other people’s videos! Buen camino!👏🏼👏🏼

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Thank you! It took me a while to edit my video too! But you will be really glad when you have! Buen Camino!

[@leannegrant7656]

Hi Kate Thankyou so much for your vlog! I’m so excited to do the Camino at some point and you’ve given me a great glimpse into what to expect! So great! Xx

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Thanks for watching them!

[@devon-glenn]

@@Kate_Pilgrim Do you think you will ever walk the Camino again in the Future.

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Yes! I walked the camino Ingles a few months ago and also walked a short camino in the UK. I look forward to doing more Caminos in the near future!

[@Pennylee58]

Just watching your video Kate, well done you 👏 I've done 2 caminos short ones. Off again next April doing Porto to Santiago it's so addictive. Would love to do St John later next year. Not sure If l could, l will be 67 then. I book private rooms not sure if l could stay in shared dormitory. Maybe l will be brave enough to do it 😅 working up to it . Buen Camino 😊

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

I’m sure if you can do a short camino - you can do the Camino Frances. Perhaps you can plan to take some rest days? Private rooms are possible the whole way if you prefer! Buen Camino!

[@kenstorer8682]

Hi Kate, thanks for the vlog, really enjoyed your journey. Can i ask which if any guide book you used for planning your pilgrimage, thanks

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

Hi Ken Thanks for watching! I had the brierley book and the moon book at home. I left them at home though to save weight and used the Wise Pilgrim app. After the first few days I played it much more by ear. Other people carried the Brierley book with them and liked having the info to refer to. 😊

[@kenstorer8682]

Hi Kate, thanks vm for getting back to me and for the information. I didn’t even realise there was an app, I do now though 😀. Thanks again

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

I think I used the paid version of the app to get full content.

[@ka6834]

Sorry Kate, I've just started to watch and if I missed this I apologize. Wondering what month you were walking this Camino?

[@ka6834]

Oh! Found it. Aug/Sept. :)

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

yes 21st Aug! I hope you enjoy it! Buen Camino! 💚

[@chrisupsdell6690]

Hello loving the videos. Planning to start Frances in early September. Can I ask when you started and finished

Thank you Chris! 😊 I started on 21st Aug and finished at the end of September!

[@chrisupsdell6690]

@@Kate_Pilgrim thank you I’m enjoying your videos I’m about the same age and it seems lots of your content is what I am seeking. Of course I am watching hours and hours of videos. I’m 53 and not in top shape anymore. Was in the Canadian Army for 17 years. Love to plan adventures and your videos are helpful

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

I’m so glad the videos are helpful! I wasn’t very fit when I started the camino. I did some training but I also built my fitness up on the trail.

[@mfranco7487]

⁠How did you train? Long walks, diet, hills, and for how long before your Camino? I want to go next May, but I’m scared of failure, and that I’ll walk too slow….help me!!!😊

[@Kate_Pilgrim]

I trained by doing walks in my local area (I live near Hadrian’s wall so I walked a big part of that in sections as well as other walks). I also did 10-20 min exercise videos for legs and core - KZbin videos on my tv such as Eleni Fit. Squats and lunges strengthened my legs. There are even walking exercise videos you can do. It’s worth finding some youTube fitness videos that you like and that don’t require any equipment. some people train by walking with a backpack and build up the weight in it each walk. This's is a good idea as it took me over a week to get used to carrying my pack.

Hi, can you please say which months you choose for your travel?
