    This 27 day 795 km walk along the Camino de Santiago Francés or French Way starting in St Jean Pied de Port going to Santiago de Compostela passing over the Pyrenees mountains through Roncesvalles, Pamplona, Logroño, Burgos, León, Ponferrada and Sarria in late summer of 2023.
    The Camino de Santiago, known in English as the Way of St. James, is a network of pilgrims' ways or pilgrimages leading to the shrine of the apostle Saint James the Great in the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where tradition has it that the remains of the saint are buried.
    The Camino Francés (French Way) is the most popular of the routes, with the most deep-rooted historical tradition. Typically it takes at least four weeks to cover the 790 km long route, allowing for a few days rest days along the way.

    Watched a bit, beautiful scenery... but where are the people? Meeting people and making friends, to me, was one of the great things about the Camino, as opposed to other long distance trails. Of course one cannot photograph them without changing the experience, and potentially upsetting others (I for one do not like being filmed).
    So... I'll just leave it at that.
    I'll almost certainly be walking it again in a couple months, if I can get my act together. And it will be whatever God wants it to be.

      I am glad you liked the video. Many times the Camino runs parallel to the road. The first time I walked the Frances I also had serious rain on the same stage but I walked on the track and it was like walking in a river. You can always use an App like Buen Camino to make sure that you are close to the actual Camino track.

    In a quaint albergue on the Camino trail,
    A weary pilgrim's face turned pale,
    For the curse of the snoring pilgrim was near,
    And the thought of sleep filled him with fear.
    The peregrino's snores were loud and deep,
    Echoing through the room like a thunderous beep,
    No matter how hard he tried to block out the sound,
    The snoring persisted, relentless and profound.
    The poor pilgrim tossed and turned in his bunk,
    His patience wearing thin, his nerves in a funk,
    He cursed the snoring peregrino with all his might,
    Wishing he could escape into the night.
    But alas, he was trapped in this noisy hell,
    With no escape from the snoring spell,
    So he resigned himself to his fate,
    And tried to find humor in his sleepless state.
    For what else could he do but laugh,
    At the absurdity of this snoring gaffe,
    And so he lay there, wide awake,
    Counting the hours until daybreak.
    And when the morning finally came,
    He bid farewell to the snoring shame,
    Promising himself to never forget,
    The curse of the snoring pilgrim he had met.

      They are very comfortable and great on slippery or rough terrain going up and down. I do prefer trail runners for smooth or hard asphalt surfaces though.

      Ji. I am not quite sure what you mean.

      Sorry for the late answer i just saw this... No need to register... you just go. You do need to register at the red to get the Compostela Certificate that says you walked the Camino but it takes a minute to do and you just have to do it before you go into the office in Santiago to pick it up.

    Nice video. Is it fair to say the last 100km from Sarria is a bit lbland and a bit boring in terns of views.

    I watched you carrying your trekking poles and not using them and when you did use them you used them as ski poles rather than using them as a walking aid. If you had used them correctly you perhaps would not have fallen over just 9 minutes or so into your video. My apologies for being a pedant, the video was going quite well so far but I see so many people who have bought the trekking poles but haven't learnt how to use them.
    I'm rather surprised at your comments about walking at times to avoid pilgrims. Part of the joy of walking a Camino is the people that you meet. I'd admit sometimes and some pilgrims I too would try to avoid....

      Thanks for your advice. I was not using them when I slipped on the gravel... Maybe they would have helped... maybe not.

      I tripped over tree roots and rocks a few times and having trekking poles in my hands meant that I stayed upright. At the Cuz de Fero I heard a girl had slipped and broke her nose. The people that phoned for an ambulance were told "stick her in a taxi" by the hospital.
