Thanks Alan. It’s been hard trying different things as I have many that agree with you and then others that say they like the music and the words. I’m going to try to do a nice mix of everything in the hope of pleasing as many as possible. I’m glad you enjoyed it, it’s a magical place and journey so it makes it so much easier to make videos. Next video will be instrumental 😊😊

Thank you for watching MaryJane 😊😊

The best way is to get one of the apps like Buen Camino or Wise Pilgrim which will have LOTS of info. It starts in Oviedo which is a large city but best airports vary from flights in your country etc. I started after walking Camino Portuguese from Lisbon. It’s easy to get to Oviedo from Santiago or from Leon etc. Rome2Rio is also a great app for buses and trains but you need to put dates within 1 month of now or it looks like there are no buses and trains and they only put them up about a month in advance. 😊 I think from international I would maybe fly to Madrid, bus to Leon, have a few days looking around Leon then bus to Oviedo but there will be many other options which may suit you better. 😊

@@scotbotvideos Thanks so much. I’m honoured to be part of the playlist 😊😊😊

@@NickLivingLife You're welcome. There's some famous hiking and Camino names on there.

Yes. We had a few amazing days together last year in the Meseta on the Frances 😊😊

On this video I used “The rest of me” by Zyke and “Loved you for a lifetime” by Melina Stark. I use an app called #EpidemicSound for royalty free music and I found them on there. Glad you like it. 😊😊

@@NickLivingLife thank you so much for your reply ! And thank you for sharing your adventures! You are such an inspiration to me . I hope to make it to Spain to see that beautiful land of my ancestors very soon . Your videos are giving me the motivation to finally do it ! Buen camino🌅!

I’m sure you’ll get there and it’s a special part of life once you have done it. You will treasure the memories for ever. Best of luck and in advance …Buen Camino 😊😊

Exciting!! Buen Camino Steve 😊😊

I think it was May when I was there. There had been a lot of rain that year (especially on Norte which I was on in April). It’s in the mountains a lot though so that probably gives it a much higher chance of rain. It’s worth it though …spectacular scenery that the UA-cam Videos can’t show in its true awesome beauty. 😊😊

Hi 😊. It was June when I started the Primitivo I think. It was warm enough but had gloriously sunny days and also torrential rain. 😊

You’re very welcome 😊😊

Sorry you didn’t enjoy it. Wishing you a wonderful next Camino 😊😊😊

@@jayjay-ei1tc sorry it’s not to your taste 😊. Hoping you have a wonderful Camino 😊

That’s really of nice of you to say that. Thanks lots. 😊😊

@@NickLivingLife you're welcome 😊

Thanks very much. 😊😊

Thanks Gail. 😊😊

I'd love to see a cloud inversion there. I had it on camino Primitivo but I wasn't camping on that. Just me and my tent alone above the clouds is something I would love. Thanks for watching the video Tony :)

Hi. As long as there is no freak weather coming in from Antarctica or something, you are all sorted for walking. The alpha direct is a big favourite of mine and with rain shell you are sorted for almost anything. It does get colder in October and also it’s colder and wetter anyway in Galicia for the last week or so. Personally I have never taken a sleeping bag and only ever had 2 nights out of about 600 or so on Caminos where I felt cold enough to put extra clothes on. I have used a puffy jacket a few times like the nights above when it was colder, and for eating outside or sitting outside with friends in the evenings (alpha works great when moving but not as good as a puffy when sitting for a few hours). Overall, if your puffy is super light (under 300g) I would take it, if the sun shirt has a collar then you could swap the other shirt for a really light synthetic running shirt and then just a sleeping bag liner. I use a silk one but anything is fine. 😊 Not long to wait now, you are going to love it. Buen Camino!! 😊😊😊

@@NickLivingLife Thank you again! My puffy is under 300g and my sunshirt is an BD Alpenglow Pro Hoody. The shirt with the collar, I guess it is also a sunshirt, but one that looks nice and like a "normal" shirt. I will leave the sleeping bag and bringing the puffy. If I get too cold at night I can sleep in the puffy or the alpha d hoodie. My plan is to hike in the DB hoody and layer if cold, with shorts on. Then change to my light weight hiking pants and the collared shirt once I get to my accommodations and shower. I have the Sea to Summit Silk Blend Liner that does add a little warmth. I think I am just nervous in general about the trip and what it will be like. Thank you for the support and encouragement.

@hoffmandarren You are very welcome. I can tell you know your stuff and have a lot of nice gear. Most of the time now I would start the day and walk in just shorts and a t shirt and I warm up within 10 minutes. I used to layer up and then stop to get undressed again almost straight away so I just walk now. It’s not normally any colder than 10C in the mornings and warms up fast (I don’t normally leave until 8-8:30 ish as I walk pretty fast between coffee shops 😂). Average temperature at night inside most of the albergues is about 20C with only a few very very basic ones lacking heating but a bunch of weary people all sleeping in the same room has a warming effect anyway. Without my UA-cam camera gear, drone etc my entire backpack with 500ml of water is 3.4kg which shows you can get by on a LOT less than you originally think and if you desperately need something you didn’t take, there is a big town within a few days where you can buy it 😊. My main tip would be in the last week before you go, and you get the idea to add something into your pack “just in case” …..don’t do it 😊😊

It’s definitely my happy place. Thanks for watching my video. 😊😊

Thanks very much. ❤️😊

Happy days!! 😊😊

Thanks lots :D

Absolutely. I need to be unprepared more often. 😊😊

Hugs my friends x

We met and chatted on several occasions and then bumped into each other again in Santiago. 😊

There isn’t a right to roam like in Scotland so it’s technically trespassing anywhere in England except Dartmoor. It’s tolerated in public right of way open land (like the top of a mountain) if people respect it, be out of sight and leave no trace but could always be asked to move on.

To add to that, basically england is near enough all private land!! Very restrictive and sadly a shrinking countryside

You are going to love it. Buen Camino 😊😊

Hemmo ! 😊. Primitivo is great 👍 Hope you are well my friend 😊😊

That's a HUGE compliment coming from you! Thanks so much mate :D. My only regret is I left the drone in the car by mistake...nature was being very kind to me on this trip :)

BIG hugs Anne. Thank you. xxxx

I retired 3 years ago...on Camino I realised I don't need much in life to be happy and worked out I can afford beans on toast (I like beans on toast) without working...so its a life of Caminos, nature and....beans......and toast :) xx

@@NickLivingLife so happy for you! I’m working towards soon myself.

Hi Margaret, I get so many comments saying they enjoy the music with the words. This is the reason I use it (it actually costs me a monthly fee and would be cheaper without…but sooo many comments say they prefer it that way. I do try to mix in some without words like as the end of the Primitivo full movie. It’s so hard trying to please everyone when everyone has differing tastes. I don’t know what Those Happy Days is. Is it another UA-cam channel? Thanks so much for watching and I’ll try to sneak more music in without vocals 😊

@@NickLivingLife Those Happy Days are van lifers. Their name is Day.

@@margaretbutterworth8162 I looked them up. Very nice channel, I think I’ll subscribe 😊😊

I have to agree with Margaret. I would actually prefer with just the environment sounds, no music, but I suppose it takes all sorts. Thanks for the videos.

@lecliche8849 thanks so much for watching. 😊😊

Hi Rog, I obviously leave absolutely nothing behind (in fact I carried out some orange peel that someone left before I arrived). I put the “leave no trace” picture in the video as an example but I do get your point that more needs to be said for the people that leave more than a trace. The people that do that though, I think most are just selfish and would continue to not respect nature regardless of how many videos and pictures talk about it. I can only hope that a few learn by example. I’ll always include an “after” picture in any video to show I leave it as I found it (or even better). Wild camping is allowed in Scotland and to my experience there is less litter so hopefully it’s just a matter of examples and practice. 😊🤞

@@NickLivingLife hi nNick thanks for the rapid reply! I think that’s really brilliant don’t think people really understand what leave-no trace means I’ve been trekking since I was 13 and I followed principles that were laid down to me very early on and I think it would really helpful that you made more reference to it in your videos because I’ve gotta be honest, I didn’t notice when you did a pan of a clear site you were referencing that you picked up all your shit. I think people really need to be told this because I have la lake very near where I live where people fish and camp and they just shit everywhere and I think that’s fine but it’s not because it goes back into the forest and the water and it affects wildlife Anyway, I love your videos and very happy to see you doing more reviews on gear as I’ve found your previous ones useful and it’s always good to hear from someone who’s actually out there doing the walk…. Please take my comments constructively as I’m just trying to be genuine ! Cheers Rog

Happy to read them Rog. I couldn’t agree more with what you are saying. Years ago I was taking a group for some wild camping and night navigation practice in Wales and one of the group in the front decided to just throw a banana 🍌 skin over their shoulder and continue walking. By the time this extremely tired and exhausted individual had finished setting up their tent on Cnicht, I showed them the banana skin that they had dropped and I had picked up and carried. I then let them know how much lighter it was than the roughly 4kg of rocks I had been sneaking into their pack on the ascent to teach them a lesson 😂😂 In their case it was ignorance and they thought a banana skin would just evaporate and decompose. Once I asked how long it would take to decompose if they just left one in their bed at home, they started to grasp it. Next time I do a wild camping video I will make a big deal about leave no trace as well as just the “proof” pictures 😊😊. Thanks again Rog.

Haha great story…. Thanks for being a gent ! I love your channel so keep going and push the boundaries…you have the experience to make the difference “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”

Hey thanks for watching it 😊😊. I’m going to do this with most of them I think if it seems popular. It’s certainly easier to watch it in the right order like this. San Salvador coming next 😊

@@NickLivingLife I shall look forward to that. 👍 Hopefully you will invested in a new pair of shoes by then?! 😂

Haha. I have shoes for my next 6 Caminos (I get them all at half price when a new model comes out so I have Altra Lone Peak 6 and 7s when the model for sale now is probably 8 or 9). That pair of Timp 4s went into my rubbish bin before I even set foot back into my house. 😂

They have so much room inside for the weight don’t they? Like a palace. 😊 I’m going to take a smaller one on the next outing, either a Gossamer Gear The One or an old Rab hooped Bivi I think 🤔😊

😂😂. It’s a talent 😂😂

Much easier to watch in order. I’ll do this with all of them. I’m needing to start again with Salvador though as I’ve lost the original projects - oops 🙊 X

Maybe you are trying to do too much! Relax & take a breath. You will get it done when the time is right. Take care of yourself. 🍺

Thank you Lotta 😊

@@NickLivingLife 💞

You will love it 🥰😊

I was thinking that, too, until, that is, I saw the hike through the slurry pit. 😱

Haha. Horrible at the time but looking back it’s one of the memories that make me smile the most. 😂😂

Haha. I put those in the garbage as soon as I arrived home before I walked back into my house. 😂😂. I purchased a whole lot of Altra shoes at half price so I’m covered for the next few years at least (no more if those Timp 4 though - far too fragile) 😊

Thanks Ken. This was mid to late June but it gives me reason to go back, and I actually loved the cloud too with it’s mysterious silence at times 😊 I had a very quiet time on San Salvador and only met 4 or 5 pilgrims during the entire Way. Thanks for the recommend of Invierno, it’s definitely on my wish list 😊😊😊

Unicorns? Must have been the cloud and mist hiding them from me. Got surrounded by cows while having some lunch though - I think it may have been a mugging attempt 😂😊
