@@lindanizikhali6775 thanks!
This is so inspiring!!
@@mistertaiga thanks for watching!
Great video! I have fear of height... went once... Once is enough. But love the beautiful scenery!!! Thanks for sharing!
@@chanke8333 thanks for watching. It's a bit wobbly up there!
Happy National Day! ¡Buen Camino!
Thanks. And the same to you!
Thanks for advice!
One of my dreams to walk this Camino walk. Thank you for this insightful posting. Hopefully ..hopefully can do it in the near future. Better spring or summer toward fallen ? Kindly advise
@@widyaniswar thanks for watching and taking the time to write a comment. Spanish summers are hot. I'd go in spring or the fall but the infrastructure (Albergues, restaurants) may be limited.
I have watched so many videos on the Camino, but this is the first that I have watched from start to end. I feel that it shows what it is really like walking mile after mile on an average day. Very insightful, thanks Phillip.
@@rpeffers69 oh, thanks, so much. That was my intention exactly. I want to convey my experience beyond the travelogue approach.
Good stuff! So many things about everybody's Camino are the same, yet everybody's Camino is completely different! ¡Buen Camino!
Thanks! It was an adventure, for sure.
thanks! I needed to be reminded about being realistic and grateful about my life and what I was given. Hope you have a wonderful day!
@@fernando_u thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment. I appreciate it tremendously.
Copy!
Your camino is what got me interested. Watching from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Hello. Thanks for watching and taking the time to write a comment. I'm working on a project connecting walking, hiking and self-improvement. This video is a part of that.
Best way to know if the garment you buy will withstand your expectations is to check the label and water resistancy measured in mm as a reader has previously conmented. 10000mm-20000mm should cover you for a couple of hours in the pouring rain,a decathlon poncho you were wearing won't and they get very humid a wet on the inside.Great bomb proof (waterproof)trousers you can get are Patagonia with zips on the side for ventilation and easy to put on even with boots on but not cheap, nevertheless well worth the money spent.
Thank you Phillip for the wonderful memories 2023, at 70 I was the slowest hiking with my Hospital 'Clutches' for support and 95 % of the time I was alone and lost the way several times, my longest was from Baamomdo to Sobrado 40 kms took around 12 hrs (no rush) expect that I ran out of water you take care and keep on Hiking and enjoy the Nature and sound of the Birds, thanks Filipo
Thanks for watching and taking the time to write a wonderful comment. Congratulations on your achievement.
Could you tell me what month that you’re walking?
June-July
Buen camino
Thank you!
This man is a genius
Wow it’s looking good again👍🏼
oh i really love that beanie soup!
Thanks. The secret (I now know) is in the water you use to soak the beans. Tap water isn't the best.
looks like he enjoyed every bite
I did! But, later in the day, I found an even better place.
Looks delicious
Looks really yummy
This is very well made and inspiring . Watching from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Thanks for watching and taking the time to write a comment.
I just come back home,from my hiking to the this place, omg....so tired..
Yes, it's not easy. Were you alone?
Enjoy the bacon buddy
Thanks. I hope you liked watching me eat it!
I love this guy bro please follow him
Thanks, so much, for the shout-out. I need all the support I can get to reach 1K subs.
Nice voice man I like the content, calamari is some of my favorite
Hey, thanks!
Looks amazing! Hope you enjoyed it!!
It was!
Great video! Can I ask which entrance did you enter from?
Well done. Good effort. It looks a lot more built up than the more popular French route? I’ve lived here in Spain for 20 years and still considering walking a camino….perhaps I’m too old at 73…..
Thanks for your comment. As they say, age is just a number and only you know (as far as you can) what your limits are. You might want to try a short section (3-5 days) to see how you feel physically and MENTALLY.
Many congratulations, Phillip. You have completed a very impressive journey, showing immense fortitude throughout. Now, what's your next challenge? Go well, and God bless.
Thanks, so much!
Excellent effort, Phillip.
That looks delicious ❤
Thanks, it wasn't bad.
I loved the 'bush-bashing'. Was that your short cut?
I totally agree with your comment regarding listening to other people's opinions. Listen, yes! The easiest way isn't always the best! 😎
A must do!
There is nothing more hated on the Camino than walking along a major road!😒
The forest walks are very similar to ours here in NZ, albeit better maintained.
Thank you, Phillip, for sharing your epic journey. I will be starting my 2nd Camino in August '25. I simultaneously watch your journey and follow your pathway on my Wise Pilgrim app map. Go well!
Good video man I liked you will have almost 1k some day
Keep on with the good work don’t matter what people say keep on
"Esta bien fresh" XD No te voy a engañar, me ha entrado hambre viendo ese bonito.
Enjoy the country amigo. Visita Zaragoza
Phillip, estás caminando por la hermosa GALICIA. Gracias por tu visita.
An amazing walk and a great challenge! I wonder what time of the year you did this Camino del Norte? How many days did you walk and haw many rest days did you take if at all? What was the longest day in KM and in hours? Thank you
Thanks for watching and your questions. I did the Camino del Norte between June and July. 39 days on the trail and 2 rest days. The longest day was 39 KM and it took around 9 hours. I hope this helps.
Rock the house. Going to try this today w my similar Hoka shoes. Thx for posting
You will notice the difference!
It’s a very nice and awe- inspiring video about your challenges and rewards of taking the way. I can’t wait to have my own time to reset and heal.
That's good to know and something very worthwhile to look forward to. Thanks for watching the video and your support throughout my pilgrimage. It means a lot.
Congratulations Phil. Well done. You will be knocking on heaven's door when the time comes.
Thanks, Andy. I'm sure we'll meet there! 😉
Yay! you made it to Saint James on a misty day. I have 30 days earmarked on the Camino. The off the Porto by bus. Last year, I stayed at the Seminario. I hope to stay there again this year. I enjoyed watching your videos and I hope you have another good walk with your friend next time.
Thanks, so much, for watching and for all of your comments. I have two more Camino del Norte videos to come.
@@PhillipATowndrowHikes I can't wait to watch them.
