Great to see you Simon. Hope you are both enjoying the trips. I'm off to Greece (Corfu) next week with a mate.. Have a vlog camera but wont do this quality bro. Keep in touch. M

@@mikemolloy625 Corfu, sounds like a great time to be had mike, enjoy!

That's very kind of you to say Liz, thank you so much 🙏🏼

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊

Thanks for watching. Yes, great memories indeed!

Thank you for your kind words. There are indeed many spots on the Camino where the view looking behind is more impressive than looking forward. 🙂

Very kind of you to say, thank you!

Thanks Sonia! The food is probably more amazing than the photography 😊

Thanks Neil, I can't begin to tell how what an amazing experience it was, and I encourage you do it yourself. Lot's of people cycle it, I'm sure it's just as amazing by bike 🙂

Same time next year then! 😬😅

Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated 🙂 A second Camino, how wonderful, here's wishing you a fantastic experience, Buen Camino!

Hi Brigid I would imagine many of the places haven't changed much in all those years, it's like going back in time. Appreciate the comment, many thanks!

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks for watching Ken, that's exciting that you're returning, we'd love to do the same one day. Thanks for the kind words, and we hope you have a fantastic time, buen Camino!

🙏🏼

Me too, I still watch as many vlogs as I can on the Camino, and miss being there. Planning another soon!

Thanks Nick. I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to following along as you vlog your Camino. Have a great trip, buen Camino!

Thanks Ian, appreciate the kind words.

Thanks Jose, so glad it brought back those memories! I appreciate your comment. 🙂

@@SimonBurnCreative I’m doing the Camino Portuguese from Lisbon this September 👍🏼

@@Viryamoshka I have yet to do that route, it does look really good from what I have seen. 👍

Thanks Rinos Prod, appreciate the comment 😊

Oh wow, what a lovely thing to say, thank you so much! 😊 I've started making shorter videos, a couple of days at a time, to show the route a little better, and share a few more photos. 🙏🏼

Thanks Dave. It's nice to throw in a few surprises once in a while 😆😎

It gets a little chilly in the mornings on a few days in the mountains, although most days we only needed a light fleece on in the mornings.

Thanks Julian, you are correct, this is a great keepsake to watch in the future. A book, hmm, maybe there will be a book, if time allows. I shot 7000 images, so they need to go somewhere🙂

@@SimonBurnCreative That's the only problem with big trips.....lots of photos!

@@jbairdexp oh yeah, I'm like, now what?! lol.

Thanks for commenting Michael, food is a passion of mine, especially Spanish food, which was delicious every day! Appreciate the comment. 😊

Thanks for commenting, much appreciated! Ah, you've walked the Portuguese route? That's next on my list.

@@SimonBurnCreative You will not be disappointed. I walked from Lisbon to Santiago and beyond. Very different experience to the Frances route: lovely scenery. warm and hospitable people and great food and wine. Enjoy!

Thanks, it was amazing, words aren't enough. Book your flight now, at least do a section. Rioja region would be perfect for you!

Thank you, very kind of you to say 🙏🏼

Cheers Paul! 😊

Thanks for watching! 🙂

Haha, I would have loved to, had there been the time to do so. Yup, love my little Z50, it's an amazing camera. 😊

I saw a few people with trolleys, but there are a few spots where the trail is very rough so you would have to go the road route for those sections. The descent down into Molinaseca being one of them.

@@SimonBurnCreative Thank you Simon.

Thank you. Yes, many cyclists on the Camino, that's a good way of doing it and seeing everything if you're short on time.

For cameras and lenses which are not water-resistant I have a shower cap and / or cloth over the gear when raining. An umbrella is a good option too. The Camino I'm walking in May, I'm taking larger pro-level cameras and lenses so they can get wet and I won't have to worry too much.

The route has been in place for hundreds of years, it's a pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela Cathedral where the remains of St James reside. I read a lot of books and looked at a lot of videos, and it was clear the route was very scenic, great for a photographer! I did make daily notes, yes. I need to find time to write them up now, maybe turn all this into a book.

Thanks Martin! Yes, I used the 50-250 kit lens for some shots, although it broke half way into the trip (it's very flimsy and easily damaged), so I mostly used a manual focus prime lens from Meike. 35mm f 1.4

Thanks! I had a rain coat (shell) for most rainy days and worked well. But we had a couple of days when the rain came down really hard, and a poncho was the only solution to stop us getting drenched through. So my answer, have both! A poncho is light and packs up small, it doesn't need to be a fancy one, I got mine from a dollar store. Buen Camino!

@@SimonBurnCreative thanks so much for your suggestion 😊

@@maureen149 My pleasure 😊

No tents, we mixed up hotels and hostels for variety. Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂

Yes, tried to see as much as possibly along the way 🙂 Buen Camino!

Thank you Anton. I took a little Nikon Z50 with me, and a 35mm prime lens was my main lens.

No lists to share just yet. When time allows, I hope to write up a journal with details, on my website.

Why? The route I took was fantastic! Also, Napoleon route is closed early April when there is heavy snowfall, it is illegal to use that route.

This video represents my experience, it's not a question of being fair. It rained hard most days in Galicia, so it's hard to video too much.

Did you try turning the volume down?

@@SimonBurnCreative Interesting comment from Jane... I loved the music and how you used the different cuts to segment the video. I guess different strokes....

@@JohnRRogers Yes, it's impossible to please everyone 🙂 Thanks for commenting, much appreciated.

Oh that's so sad to hear. We never had any issues and it was the best travel experience we've ever had. Everyone has different expectations and attitudes, that's what makes people so interesting I suppose. 🙂

Interesting comment… why it was so bad? Yea had really great time on Camino.

@@wanderingsagestyle First of all, i guess, you must have a special reason to do so , which i didnt, like a problem to overcome, a shitty life, a real necessity of cutting with normal life, finding peace or new pace, a family problem, a health problem, yours or of other people, or you are exchanging your effort for having something back like healing of a loved one ( from God i guess). me, i was just curious about. Second, who made the camino frances ( i started from Leon) knows that its is not true at all that is always a matter of beautiful landscapes: 1/3 of the time you walk along a dangerous road, under highway bridges like an illegal migrant, in ugly villages or in awful suburbs around city, in Santiago as well. Third, being italian, i assure you that Leon and Galizia are nothing special at all compared with our landscapes and villages Finally, i heard so much people telling me before : “oh, you will see, after the camino you will come back and be different, you will understand many things, its a wonderful experience” and this was coming always from people who needed to change something in there life because they were unsatisfied. So at the end, what i learned in the camino is that i have a beautiful life like it is and that i dont have to change anything, so the phisycal and mental effort was totally useless. And you know the funny side of this? I met a lot of people, and at least 3 or 4 of them told me: “ i am very happy that i did the camino because i met you, you are different from others” So maybe the reason why God sent me to the Camino was to please others

@@SimonBurnCreative in any case this has nothing to do with your pictures, which are really beautiful and i took the time to see all of them. These pictures actually would give me the will of going to the camino if i didnt know anything about.

@Jacopof Bargellini It's interesting to hear people's perspectives, so thanks for sharing. I didn't go to change anything, my life is also pretty good, I just wanted a nice long walk and to experience good food, meet interesting people, and get some nice photos. Sounds like our next adventure should be Italy. 😊
