    Your videos are great; thank you so much. I am walking the Portuguese route in May and am also taking a rest day. If you could pick a place for your rest day now that you’ve completed the walk, would you still pick Valenca? Thanks so much!

      Hiya, so glad you enjoyed our videos😊 Yes we would stay there again if we do the Portuguese again. We picked Valenca because it was around the halfway mark. It was a good place to stay an extra day, we stayed inside the fort which is fabulous & spend the day exploring. Have a great Camino you will love it. Buen Camino 🥾😀

    Thank you for the video. I plan to do the same route end of this September. This video helped me a lot to know what to expect. Do you have a blog documenting your route. I would love to read it, hoping that I would find more info that you couldn't/didn't put in the video. Can I ask you what time you started your hike in the morning, and around what time you reached your destination city for that day?

      Hi, thank you for you message & Im glad you enjoyed the videos & found them helpful. We have a face book page & Instagram page that I documented daily each stage this may help with more detail for you. Because each day was different distances it hard to say what time we arrived in each place but on average we walk about 4km per hr so on our longest days 28/30km days it took us 8ish hrs. That’s including stops…. I stop a lot to take photos and video 😜 plus coffee, lunch stops. On these days we would leave early about 6/7am. We do enjoy walking early to avoid crowds and enjoy the tranquility whilst plus we like to arrive at our destination early in the afternoon so we can explore each place a little. I hope this helps please take a look at my daily diary on our FB & Instagram pages. You can also find us on: Instagram➡️ bit.ly/3Z8jepj Facebook ➡️ bit.ly/3SlUmb Oh Ps….. we are currently walking th Camino Frances as I type this message out now on day 8🙌🏻 You will have an amazing time on the Portuguese. Buen Camino 🥾 😊

    I've been using this tent for over 2 years now (older version). It has been a solid shelter for me. Ive been in extreme rain & wind without issue. Even pushed it into early winter. Heavy snow is a no go but can handle a light snowfall. As for leaks, like with all tents I've owned I do preemptive seam sealing at the start of every season. This has been a great and go to tent for me. Best wishes that your experiences are as good. Cheers.....Bob V

We are being replaced by a workforce that passively slaves for wages that just about keeps them alive.
