Just found your channel a few days ago, I'm doing the Camino from Paris next year, it's always been a dream of mine to do it from Paris. I should complete it in 4 months at a leisurely pace. Thanks for this series, looking forward to seeing your adventures 👍
Wow from Paris that would be a amazing! We saw a shell on the ground somewhere near the Notre Dame when we were in Paris the week earlier and thought it would be a amazing to start there! I wish you a Buen Camino! ✌️💙💛
To be honest....for the first half of this video I thought you and your daughter were sisters. For the first half of this video I had forgotten that I had followed your original release of each-and-every video of your walk. When I finally realised that I had seen the whole of this walk I also remembered how much fun, interesting, inspiring and entertaining it was. So.......as I have a day to myself ( I'm actually kinda ill ) I will binge-watch the other 40 wonderful videos. Thanks for taking the time and effort to record your family's Camino.
Thank you for your lovely comment! I’m so glad you enjoyed watching our journey. We really had the best time and sometimes it’s hard to capture that on camera 😊 Sorry to hear you’re not feeling well 💙💛 xx
Oh my gosh, Callum is actually wearing his pack correctly! (5.02) Not many people do. Super smart you stopped at 8km too. That may just save some injury this early on. Good luck!
😊 yep he’s all about the Arc! Although his is an older style Zpacks bag (2016) and the arc is not always easy to achieve nevertheless they are absolute top notch lightweight bags! And yes we are all about easing into a hike, start slow and the numbers will grow ✌️💙💛
How exciting, May will be a lovely time of year! It is about a 400m elevation gain from SJPDP to Orisson over about a 4-5km stretch, so you will feel it however it’s such a short distance you can take as much time as you like and still have daylight. We took 4 hours to do it which is slow but we just stopped anytime one of us felt like a break. There are a few small plateaus where you can rest. The next day the elevation gain happens over a longer stretch so it didn’t feel quite as taxing to us. We left around 8am and got into Roncesvalles at around 2pm. And with the Pyrenees being so early on once you are through it, it only gets easier! 😀 There are lots of pilgrims all of varying ages and physical ability and I’m sure you’ll find others going at the same pace you find comfortable. My only recommendation is to start slow and build your kms to let your body adapt and reduce chance of injury. I wish you all the best with your upcoming Camino! ✌️💙💛
@@callumclairesadventures8793 Thank you so much for your reassuring post. I’ve actually booked a night at Auberge Borda to break the climb to two days. Stay safe and thanks again
A wise choice to stop in Orrison, I went from Saint Jean pied de port to Roncesvalles the first day and I nearly died, way too much if you're not used to the Camino yet
Hi, how did you book your accommodation? I am doing net year, there are some companies in Australia that will do it all for about $6k... for the whole camino plus take yr stuff every day ... thoughts?
Hi, we only booked the first four nights up to Pamplona. We were able to get accommodation across the rest of the Camino easily without booking (except after Sarria where the hoards join the pilgrimage). I would recommend booking the first four nights and the last few from Sarria to Santiago. You can also book just one or two days in advance depending on how you are feeling. I liked the flexibility of being able to stop in whatever town we wanted as we weren’t locked into a booking. There are vast differences in accommodations, we were on the cheaper side rarely staying in hotels and mostly staying in municipal or privately run Albergues. This kept our costs down to on average €30 per day per person for everything (food, Accom, church donations) so about $50AUD per day and we took 6 weeks bringing our total to $2,100pp. We carried our gear each day so didn’t have the expense of transporting luggage. I know you could get this service for €5 per day and use as you like between towns. We did use www.expressbourricot.com/ to transport our main suitcases from St Jean Pied de Port to Santiago where it was held by a hotel in Santiago for us for as long as we needed. This one off luggage service cost was €70. You really don’t need to take much, we took about 3-4kg each which was very easy to carry daily and trekking poles are a great assistance when walking. I hope this helps!

Very good jee
How tough was the climb to Orrison? I’m doing it this May, but am fearful of the Pyrenees. Buen Camino and thanks
