We live in the beautiful county of Hereford, UK, we have made the decision to start travelling with our family to see as much of the world as possible. We are your typical blended family with kids, dogs, a mortgage, work and close-knit family & friends.
Following a Stage 3 Cancer diagnosis for Mark in early 2021 we decided it was time for a change and to start experiencing life through a different lens. We decided to start sharing our journey of travel and we wanted to show that it can be done. To give the confidence to others who are thinking about taking the plunge into travelling with their families whilst maintaining education, work and family commitments.

I love this Mark,........when I think about my Camino del Norte starting in July, its those conversations you mention that I'm looking forward to. While I love visiting the cities, its being in nature realigning our psyches with what nature intended that brings the joy!! BTW,....I meant to mention to you, that you seem no longer to have a passion for tractors,...what happened?? I should say that I'm a trail runner girl, with Injinji toe socks. Buen Camino. PennyXxx
How available were cheap accommodations this time of year on the northern route?
Hola , i follow you on KZread when you hike the Frances. I hike the Camino Frances 2022. Now you hije the Norte and i go tommorow to Irun and start Thursday the Norte and Primitivo. Buen Camino and take care. Greetings from Germany
It is meant to be! Buen Camino 👣
I've missed your Camino videos, how exciting to see you on a new journey once again! Buen Camino peregrinos!
Thank you for watching 🫶
We loved this walk...there is not one Camino that we have not completed that does not bring us joy and calmness! Thinking of doing it yourselves...then check out our Substack (everydayjourneys.substack.comfor some great hints/tips packing guides etc )👣 Buen Camino!
Doing El Camino de Santiago? Did that when I was young too, had wonderful and very wet and uncomfortable time. Loved Spain so much I ended up settling in the south
What a beautiful country! No surprise you ended up living there 🫶 Thank you for watching and commenting. Buen Camino 👣
We are so excited about the long version of this video being released on Sunday! Beautiful, tough and wet sums things up for this stage off the Camino! 😉
Worst ever trail? You. We’d to come to some real mountains 😊
Bus is the sensible option! unfortunately due to my injury I had to use one as well. Your guide book says use a bus on the stages into and out of Leon in any case😊
You're back on the Camino, how wonderful! The Norte ist stunning and exhausting and wonderful. I wish you the most fantastic way - buen Camino!
The Camino Norte (and friends of ours) were calling 🫶...it just had to be done
Wow, steep and slippery, take care 🙋♀️🇦🇺
It really was...soooo steep! 👣
Excellent. The Mozarabe is definitely on my radar for my next Camino.
Is this the only episode for this route?
Thanks for watching. Yes, however, watch this space as we are aiming to get back as soon as possible to complete the remaining stages 😉
Haha we know that feeling of getting Hangry!! 😂😂 Have the best time guys…..we will be following your journey ☺️🙏🏼
🫶 Thank you...hows it going?
@@EverydayJourneysTV All good. We’ve been back home for a few days now since completing the Portuguese Camino!! I’m missing it so badly!!! So we’ve started looking into Via Francigena in Italy for our next one 😊
@@tipsytrekkers We would love to do that one! Heard amazing! Will keep an eye out for that vlog!
Great Albergie that!
We loved that Alburgue...so nicely done with beautiful rooms! 🫶
Looks like my room in the same hotel
Lol...no way! Did I leave my toothbrush there? 😉
Orio! - One of my favorite towns in Spain.............
Beautiful...saying that, the most of Spain is just stunning! 😍
I luv you lot,..I'm going to start my Del Norte walk in July, so your videos are so timely! The thing I enjoy about your reflections is that you make no bones about enjoying the finer things about walking across Northern Spain;...like, Café con leche etc, etc. Enjoy you walk, I will enjoy watching you! Buen Camino. PennyXxx
Penny...have an amazing time and do let us know how you get on. You starting from San Sebastián or Irun? Thank you, we are your normal run of the mill middle aged (old to our children) couple that like to explore the world and we are glad that this has come across in our videos. Buen Camino 👣
@@EverydayJourneysTV Gosh,...your videos inspired me to walk the Frances last year, which was fabulous. Regrettably, I found by day twenty myself and a number of fellow walkers got into a groove of starting each morning with Café con leche, a slice of tortilla and Napolitana de chocolate, then at the end of each day, an ice cream and a glass of beer,...OMG,...so extravagant. But watching you all pop into a pastry shop each morning before walking, set my experience;...but is was lovely! For the Norte I will start in Irun. Really cant wait to walk over the gorgeous beaches. Please remember to tell us all about your Albergue experiences. I don't intend to book in advance, so knowing where to head for good accommodation is most helpful. Enjoy the sunshine. PennyXxx
@@pennycatterick5148 This message made us smile tonight Penny 🫶. We are posting on SubStack our Alburgue/Accommodation if this helps at all: everydayjourneys.substack.com. Please keep in touch and let us know what you think of the Norte onwards from Bilboa. Buen Camino 👣
Nice to see you 2 on the road and looks like he needs tou for the operations/directions.lol..hope you 2 are good
Thank you for letting us join you on your way. Enjoy your journey and best wishes from Austria. Buen Camino! :)
Hi thank you for such an informative video. I'm doing the camino frances in June with my 3 boys 15, 9 and 4. Could anyone who has done the camino with kids tell me can I book albergues ahead? Or should we just turn up? My worry is being stranded with 3 bairns. Help help or advice very appreciated!❤
Hey...you are going to have an amazing time. We booked ahead (Booking.com or by phoning them in advance). If you mention that you are travelling as a group with your kids they often separate you out into your own area. Do not panic if you do not book ahead, there are loads of options on the Camino Frances for places to stay 👍🏻 Just do not leave it to late in the day. Buen Camino
Just subscribed to your channel as we're planning a visit to Arrow Bank with our two cockapoo hooligans.
Fantastic...this site is brilliant for dogs, make sure you use the dog area to let them run wild 😉
Hi, good to see you on another Camino, thanks for the video. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you for watching...as I write this, we are currently getting ready to walk another day on the Camino Norte ☺. You can follow our daily journey on there...everydayjourneys.substack.com
Great video! I’m just putting all my footage together but it looks like it’s going to have to be in parts. I love how you did the Camino as a family!
Hey @Kate_Pilgrim 👋🏻 Thank you, we loved the experience and cant wait to be flying out of the UK again later this week to do some of the Camino Norte 👣
Really loved this! I have a Camino journey starting in a few days, around 1000 k!! Can't wait! How awesome to do it with your family!
Amazing! 1000K, that will be one massive experience! Buen Camino 👣
Love this video. So raw, true, full of good info and just nice people!
Thank you ☺
I'm planning on May of 2025...Thank you for an awesome account of your Camino!! Wow, what a story!!
Thank you @Yisraela - Have an amazing time and let us know how you get on. Buen Camino 👣
A bit late to the party, but I have very much enjoyed watching your series on the Camino. Congratulations on your determination and good humour throughout the journey. It has long been my ambition to do the walk and, although I am getting a bit long in the tooth now, your videos have given me additional motivation! Thank you 🙂
Thank you...go get yourself booked on your Camino, you will not regret it! Buen Camino 👣
im off to les houches next week cant wait! this is exactly the type of video i was looking for, i dont suppose you know if any of the local shops rent ski clothing my friend doesnt have any and we are hoping to rent some for him but its very hard to find out online
Hey there...thank you, glad you found it useful. We took all of our own clothing so in fairness didn't look for anything other than the ski gear. I didn't see any clothing hire tbh. If you are UK based then Mountain Warehouse do a good line of ski trousers and they are reduced currently. We actually have just returned from Les Houches last week and the weather was quite warm even up on the slopes and we wore layers on top half rather than thick ski coats. Suggest just a pair of trousers and socks and gloves needed. Also, if you get the chance and are staying in Les Houches itself then visit this patisserie (g.co/kgs/8JMxqEV ) great coffee and an amazing Houchard! Also, you may have seen this already, but there is a webcam up the top (www.seechamonix.com/webcams/prarion) Hope this helps and have an amazing time!

Hi Mark, l was surprised to see how close the next zip rider was coming in behind you on one of the change overs, I know it's India and not the west. Chris from Sydney, Australia 🇦🇺
Lol....it all felt very safe 🙏🏻
Hey, thanks for video, did I understood correctley, that you can buy lift / ski passes in machine? Was there no queues to buy? What options you recommend for beginner, I mean which lift or mountain :))) If I understood correctley you purchased Full access to Mont Blank, what lifts you would recommend to try / use for a beginner after that very basic "button lift". thanks :) I'm thinking might be I could buy cheaper lifts there are 3 options on web site, Mont Blank, Chamonix and Les Houches (no idea what's the difference, and if beginner needs Mont Blank... but differennt prices) thanks
Thank you for this video i have just spend the past 4 days booking everything via Your video, thank you helped a lot booked it now for 16 march only a few weeks to go. 🎉
Hey @mrb5394...that is great to hear, thank you for sharing! We are currently in Les Houches with some of the kids right now (leaving on the 20th Feb). We hope that you have an amazing time, please let us know how you got on ⛷
Great effort you guys, I think my wife and I were about a week or so ahead of you on the way… just watched your video and made us really emotional… so amazing to do with your family! Will you do another one??
Hey @davidclark2153...thank you, you can imagine that we also get emotional when we watch it back. We are heading out in April to do a week on the Camino Norte with friends from Australia that we met whilst on the Frances and then we are planning quite a big one at the end of this year...make sure you subscribe and like to get notified about that one 👣 Buen Camino
Did the Lotschberg and Simplon Tunnels years ago. Amazing feats of engineering. But the triumvirate of Grimsel, Furka, and St Gotthard passes were utterly incredible. When the journey is as good as the destination!
Such a beautiful journey!

My goal is to travel to India this year. Watching your video makes me feel so excited ! You guys rock. As a small creator too, I wish you guys all the best of luck. 👍
Thank you for watching! Go for it, it is an amazing country and we will be back to explore some more 😃
🧿🧿🧿🧿👏👏👏👏
I will be doing the Camino Frances starting in Saint Jean PDP in stages (7-8 days per stage) in 2025.Thank you for the videos as these help in planning and setting of expectations
Thanks for watching and all the very best for 2025, you will have an amazing experience! Buen Camino 👣
Sorry to contradict you, but very very few Seville oranges are sent to Britain to make marmalade - and these come from the Alcazar gardens, not from the streets. Some sour streets oranges are used to feed goats, but the vast majority is used for compost and to produce gas or electricity. Some Seville buses run on gas produced from these oranges. And a tip for you : if a tapas bar in Seville serves paella, then it's not a real sevillan tapas bar - it may be OK, but it won't be the real thing. And trust me, the real thing is really good - so sad you missed it.
Thank you for the information....maybe it was said in jest from the guide that is Brits get all the seville oranges for our Marmalade. We will be back and next time we will be looking for Tapas bars without the Paella being served...great tip thank you 🙏🏻
If you are in Jodhpur now, please come to our house, our food and welcome is waiting for you. 🙏
Thank you for the kind offer...we visited last year and loved our time there. Such a beautiful country, people and culture 🫶
@@EverydayJourneysTV No problem, whenever you get a chance in future and you come here, please contact us. And give us a chance to serve for a day or two Rajasthani hospitality does not cost money 😀🙏
Y Jaipur..... Jaipur is overrated....go to ladakh, Kerala, north east, Spiti valley, kedarnath,sikkim , Darjeeling...... Delhi ,agra , jaipur all are overrated .....
Hi...we are certainly on planning a trip back to this beautiful country and will certainly look into these suggestions. Thanks for making us aware, we are always looking for recommendations 😃
WOW! Zip-lining?! Who knew?!! Looks like it was a blast. 💙
It was amazing! 😄
looked like a great time. Got's to try more food and see more places soo many sites to see.
Hey...it was an amazing experience and definitely worth getting someone local to share their own knowledge. We often get a food tour in shortly after arriving at a new city/country. Seville was also an amazing food experience (kzread.info/dash/bejne/eYFtuNeJlaW5oMY.html). 😋
Thank you for all these videos. They are helping me plan my Camino with my son for June/July of 2025. What month did you start your Camino?
Hey - Thanks for watching. We started in middle May 👣 Buen Camino
Hi thanks for sharing! Can I ask when did you go? I’ll be flying out in a week’s time but I doubt it can be as warm as yours.
Hi and thanks for watching...we went in April 🥵
Welcome to India Guys ....I wish you have a wonderful time...We are happy to have such amazing people as our guests❤😊
Thank you...we loved our visit and we will be back 🙏🏻
Just Beautiful ❤
It is an amazing place...simply breathtaking!
Awesome -- Jai Bharat !!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. I am also a beginner from Amsterdam. I am taking beginner ski lesson from Amsterdam Snowworld and planning to do visit Les Houches beginner piste myself. Is the Le Prarion accessible to everyone ? How do you recommend Les Houches for beginners who do without taking school at Les Houches ? Thanks
Les Houches is a great place for beginners, there are a lot of ski schools there teaching younger ones so I guess that it is designed for us newbies 🎿. There are the training slopes there and some really gentle runs so I think that you will be fine
@@EverydayJourneysTV Greatt !! Thanks for your useful information 🙂
