You know why this is a cure for insomnia? Because it makes you want to go to bed and dream!!

A thousand thanks Windswept, for sharing your journey with us. I followed your blogs, and today have just watched your video. In 2012 I walked from Granada to Finisterre, seeing very few Pilgrims------reading your story enabled me to reminisce and relive my time in Spain. I now wonder how I managed to undertake such a journey-----but what a privilege we have had , and how blessed we have been to have the health to walk this beautiful Camino. Your generosity in the way in which you shared your Camino with the world is inspiring. I feel the heart being pulled back to Spain ! However, Western Australia is a long way from Spain------I always said that 2 Caminos was enough------but !!!!
Enjoy your well earned rest-----and again, thank you .

Thank you, Sandra. You are right, what a journey we have both had, and what memories that will stay with us forever. I am so pleased I could play a small part in helping you relive yours.
My best wishes to you

thank you windswept!

the beginning was a tug at the heart - I hope you had a happy reunion when you returned home!

I've been following your blog. Thanks for this video and yes it does bring back memories. I notice that there is now a lake after Santas Martas. It was bone dry in 2004!

That's Benny, he is sitting on my lap as I write. Thank you for your kind comments.

A great Camino! Thank you for sharing your Journey.

Yes, indeed. So many "I-remember-that" moments.
But, Windswept, nobody, but nobody, walks through the Arc of Caparra without stopping in their tracks!!!
But seriously, it was great to watch the video after having read your real-time blog. Loved it.

Do you know Paul, the wind was blowing and I had a heck of a job keeping the iPad up straight. I had to use a lot of stones to prop it up, but I didn't take any from the arch, honestly. It took three takes to get the shot.

Bravo. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you, it was my pleasure and I'm delighted you enjoyed it. I Hope it brought back happy memories of your own trek.

Brilliant!

 

[Carol06]

That is no cure for insomnia. I just want to get up and start walking. Wonderful.

 

[Mystery]

I've been waiting to see your video and you didn't disappoint ..... Wonderful.

Thank you for sharing your journey.

Thank you, Carol, I've been home a week now and I'm beginning to feel the same way. I see you are on the CF, I hope all is going well.

Thank you, Martin. I see you have listed the VdlP for 2015. I hope it either brought back memories or gave you a taste of things to come.

I walked this way last July. Like yourself, I was a flip of a coin whether to go to Ourense or Astorga

Hi Alan, in the end I'm really glad I went to Ourense, I've walked the CF and I know I would be sitting at home here now regretting it if I didn't do it. I had a lot of urging from people on the site to go that way and I'm glad I took their advice.

Beautiful video! Thanks for sharing. I will send a link to my daughter in case she decides to go this route the next time she walks the Camino.

Ahhhh...you haven't left us yet! So good to see you posting. I got kind of attached to you through your Camino blog and posts! Loved the video and especially that opening sequence.

Hi Laura,
That's very kind of you, glad you enjoyed it. That's Benny. I'm slowly settling back into the routine but thinking of next year too.

 

[gml]

Thank you for this lovely view of Via de la Plata. Could you tell us your starting and ending dates (approx.)? I would like to go about the same time of year, to see the spring unfold.

Great watching this now that I have finished and lovely recognising various spots and going "I know where he took that!".
Thank you!

I've been following your blog. Thanks for this video and yes it does bring back memories. I notice that there is now a lake after Santas Martas. It was bone dry in 2004!

It was bone dry in July too - less than 2 months after Windswept passed through!

Yes, indeed. So many "I-remember-that" moments.

Except my walking partner. He marched through there without taking a photo (and he is an incredible photographer who photographs almost everything) after a really long very very hot sticky day. He had just run out of water. I had 200 ml left. Both of us were fantasizing about the vending machine at the Visitor Centre. I would have killed for an Aquarius. Unfortunately it was Sunday and it had just shut. I had been so looking forward to Caparra but found it a bit of an anticlimax.
