@@kolayotadventures6789 thank you for watching. Yes it was a challenge but such an extraordinary mountain and so unpredictable. Be ready for anything with your gear if you go. It’s only 8 km to shelter and the views are stunning.
Where was that vending machine I did not notice that last Aug 31 when I crossed the Pyrenees thanks for sharing your journey it makes me smile ,missing that place
Expect the unexpected, that was my Camino experience. Ran into 60-70% of rain along the journey last year, and two lightning thunderstorms along the way. Walking in lightning thunderstorms could be scary especially in the middle of nowhere and alone. Hope you have a wonderful and safe journey on the Camino. Buen Camino!
@@CT-ey8re goodness! Your Camino was full of water too! I am scared when it’s lightning and you have no where to hide outside. Thankfully made it safely.
so sorry your first day was so wet...the views are truly spectacular. We stayed at Borda 2 years ago, and had a wonderful stay. Laurent is a wonderful host!
@@jerrilynn3331 thanks so much for your cheers. It was such a scary first day with the lightning and I was so exposed on the Pyrenees. Was such a journey that called on courage. Thankful to have survived the 41 days of the 800 kms.
Love watching this! I wonder if I will see you on the Camino--my husband and I are leaving the end of September to walk Sarria to Santiago. (starting walking around the 27th-28th). Thank you for sharing your journey and your packing and travels there. Buen Camino!
Fabulous - above the clouds! Accommodations so far look pretty good - I'm trying to imagine doing this with my two 11 year olds... (they can top and tail in a bed if need be!) Love the unusual perspectives like - in the grass for yoga - keep doing you x
@@KatKatGo333 rare to get such a view above the clouds and hard to reach but so worth it. Have you booked? Be sure to book the first night at Borda or Orrison before you go. It breaks up the journey up and across the Pyrenees. Good luck and so cool you are thinking of walking with your young ones. It will be such a grand adventure.
@@Walkwith_M No haven't booked yet - have a lot of ducks to line up, getting house ready to get appraisals done then guage when to put on market. Have been holding off as it has been so luke warm in terms of houses selling, but I am in a "tree change" area and have an Arch designed eco house so hoping enough difference to sell more than the average house. Then - relocation plans will be in place and a good wander on the Camino will happen then too! That's a lot of ducks and I'm just clenching my teeth with "patience" haha. Have a friend going in April, she's just doing a week. I really like the idea of Orrison given the feedback. If ALL my ducks align, we'll leave from Le Puy, making it tight given the 90 day limit in the Shengen (sp?) zone. I've been soooo inspired following Huang Hua's journey with his 11 year old son. How are you going with the emotional side of it all being "over"? Planning your next one methinks??? :)
@ wow that’s a lot of ducks to line up. Big ones too. I wish you luck and take your time - such a huge thing, to sell a home. Plenty of time and you feel better when you can walk without worry. The Schengen rule has thrown the spanner in the works for several people I know. Coming back and out of the Camino bubble was tough and I immediately planned my next one. And it’s going to be the Camino Portuguese in May. Good luck with everything. Such big items too.
@@harrykey2448 hi Harry , it’s because the route begins in France, in a town at the foot of the Pyrenees called St Jean pied de port. The Camino Portuguese is called that because it begins in Portugal, in Porto.
I love watching your journey and am so proud of you! I'm so glad that the view cleared up and you could see the stunning view 😍. I really want to walk the Frances next year!
@@calipo97979797 hi - did you get around to booking your walk? I hope you do it will be such a core memory in life. First day was tough and I was scared but after surviving the storm things looked up and the views were incredible!!!
@ for sure! Since surviving this one, I will be doing the Camino Portuguese in May … subscribe if you like as I will be vlogging this walk too. Got a bit of the walking bug now.
@@heatherbaylis27 hi Heather, thank you for watching. Yes, so lucky to get some views at the end. It truly was magical - the parting of those clouds and so high up. It was unreal! I was so scared at one point as so exposed and walking poles and thunder and lightning. Survived to tell the tales. Keep walking!
🌻Buen Camino 🌻 The length of the Camino hiking does not kill, but the speed kills, so remember to take breaks when your body requires it! Remember to take rest days from walking too. I am planning my 6th Camino this autumn or next spring or summer 2025. So beautiful view 😍
Wow! What an introduction -rain and mist on your first day! I was shocked when you ditched your top! But someone probably needed it more than you🙂 You can always buy a rain cover. I’m so surprised you had the energy to run at the end. Did they know what “ hoof it” means? So Aussie. Aaaww No views. Oh well… next time.
The struggle is real, but well worth it for the views 😍 thanks for sharing your adventure 🙏🏻👏

@@cecillenadela3752 on the right hand side as you climb the Pyrenees via the napoleon route. About 1-2 km out of sjpp town.

Thank you for this video! I’ll start walking on 9/6. Hope to see you along the way! Buen Camino!
The beds/acco looks great! And yoga stretches must be helpful after all that walking.

We will be about 10 days behind you starting in SJPDP. You've got this!
How far was the walk from Orrison to Borda? I am staying there in two weeks.

Why is the route called the Frances.
