May I ask how you found travel at that time? I am planning to go this year end of Sept or start of Oct and was hoping the weather is still okay, I will have missed the heat and hopefully crowds.

@@IfUfindthisURlost The weather changed from using shorts the first two days to a lot of rain, principally in the second part and even snow. Some days were so windy that it was difficult to walk. But the majority of the time it was a pleasure to wander around, to meet people, to enjoy your self in solitary. I like it so much that I'm goin back this year. I'm planning to start walking from Saint Jean Pied de Port on October 9th. I guess this year is going to be a little crowder than last year, but I don't think is going to be a problem. In November many albergues are closed, but because fewer people walk in that month, it's still ok. Enjoy your camino!

Thank you for your kind words and your ability to see the beauty and spirituality of the Camino through our video.

Tabitha, Responses like yours are gratification and a blessing for us. It is often difficult to explain the Camino to people because they don’t understand. It makes me very happy to know that the meaning of walking the Way reached you and you understand. Buen Camino in life, and hoping that you can one day experience a part of the Camino. There is at least one wheel chair pilgrim in our Sacramento group who completed the last 100k with assistance from others. Wayne

Thank you Wayne for your Response.God Bless you and Please make More Videos...God Blessed you with an Incredible Gift to Inspire and Uplift and Encourage Lots of Love Tabitha 🤗🤗

We so appreciate your kind words. Buen Camino

Thank you!

Thanks for the kind words.

I was wondering what kind of camera you used to capture the video? Or the post processing software you used? Because your videos come out clearest compared to other Camino videos in KZfaq on a 85” inch TV.

I really like the clarity of the video as well and am happy that you recognized it. Before we started walking I watched a KZfaq video about going into the photo/video setting on my iPhone 12 mini and changing the recording to 4k at 24 frames per second. Believe it or not that apparently is the same resolution and fps that movie theater films are shot at. 4k uses a lot of space on the phone, but with a 256gb phone I could easily record a couple of hours of video. I also brought along a mini disk and small adapter for the iPhone that I could move the videos to if the phone storage got too full. When we got home I edited the videos using iMovie again on the little iPhone 12 mini. Carrying all of the tools for making this video in my front pocket was amazing and weighed almost nothing.

Thank you so much Wayne! I'm creating videos for my high school class. A bunch of us --- 32 as of today --- along with spouses, partners and children will walk the Camino Portugues and Ingles starting at various locations on the routes, but plan on meeting at the Praza do Obradorio on the same afternoon. I'm walking the Portugues from Vigo ahead of the group for scouting the route --- this will be my second Camino. Most of the group are first-time hikers and I wanted to relieve the anxiety from the "unknown" for the first timers with videos from me. Somehow, people feel better watching videos from someone they know personally.

Fantastically done!!!

Yes, sights, sounds, and even smells!

Many thanks!

Glad you enjoyed it!❤Thanks for the comment.

Thank you too

@@francisco2591 Muchas gracias.

Thanks for the kind words and including it with legendary company. Creating the video is my attempt to process the experience and share it with others. It brings back such positive memories even when things didn’t go as planned and injuries occurred. It is about the beauty of the journey.

I'm loving your deliberately slow approach.. I need to wise up a little for that yet ;) - but stranger things have happened. It's funny - even when you've walked it yourself, you find yourself going on KZfaq, to watch the Camino as experienced through other's eyes. And it's often quite revelatory. If you feel like it, check mine out - or better yet, see you on the Camino!

@@storiestellr You are so right, I too enjoy seeing the Camino experience through other’s eyes. I will definitely watch yours and I am sure appreciate your journey which will give me an even greater understanding of what the Camino means.

Thank you for the response! My wife and I are planning on doing the Camino Frances this April through May and as a follow up, did you book a day in advance, through an app, call etc.? Appreciate your time!

Hello, The first time we walked the Frances, I ended up calling ahead 2 or 3 days in advance taking what ever was available. The second time we booked everything ahead and researched places on line that we thought were exceptional places to stay. The only place that was a disappointment was in Uterga. All of the others were great. The downside was when I sprained my ankle. We then had to bus or take a taxi for a couple of days. However we had already previously walked the places we missed the second time around. Guess booking ahead just means how important walking every step is to you. Everybody walks there own Camino and you don’t want to be disappointed if things don’t turn out as you imagined.

@@user-gv9tk8yg5r Hugh, I can send you a list of the places we stayed if you want. Just email me at bccodyssey@yahoo.com Apparently I can’t past it here.

Glad you enjoyed it! I enjoyed making the video record of our journey and sharing it with others. I used my iPhone 12 mini but changed the resolution from 1080 to 4K. It took up more space, but the difference is really noticeable. Believe it or not, I also edited the videos on my little iPhone using IMovie. I very happy how it turned out. Wayne

Hi, we did a lot of research for places to stay on this second Camino Frances. We got recommendations from forums and places like Gronze. I emailed most places in January and February before we left in May. There were some places that we used Booking for, but for most I emailed. Send me an email at : bccodyssey@yahoo.com and I can send you a copy of the places we stayed.

I am vegetarian and understand your feelings. Raising pigs for ham is an even bigger industry than beef in Spain. Having said this I think that the cows walking on the path were mostly dairy cows.

Happy that you enjoyed the video. I googled Camino Frances and one of many maps from St.Jean to Santiago shows up. inspiringmaps.com/camino-de-santiago-map/

Thanks for the correction.
