    My Second Camino - A Quick Reflection

    Hi JJ - firstly congrats on the second Camino and also on your blog. I’m very impressed by the amount of detail you’ve captured (steps, distance, mood) as well as the gorgeous pictures. It’s awesome to have such a detailed account. You probably cover this in your blog (I’ve only just commenced)...

    El Camino: A mini documentary

    Looks like my little topic came back into style (like vinyl records or acid wash jeans)! That would have been my dream: to load up a backpack with copies of my book and leave one in each of the albergues where I stayed. But alas, I won't be getting to do that for the launch. Just a few too many...

    El Camino: A mini documentary

    Wow - I stumbled back upon this thread (after a decade). I still remember the time I took in creating my 'documentary' on my 2010 Camino. I loved slicing together all of my photos and adding them to some of my favourite songs. It was lovely seeing others watch and comment on the video. I think...

    El Camino: A mini documentary

    Thanks for the well-wishes on the book. The second book (the Camino one) is coming along. My characters have just crossed the meseta! Before I forget, the music from my vids is as follows (minus one or two titles that escape me at the moment): London Still - The Waifs M79 - Vampire Weekend...

    El Camino: A mini documentary

    Hi there Dubbydub :) Apologies, but I believe that some of the videos aren't available on YouTube mobile due to the music I use (silly, given that it is not used for anything more than pure enjoyment and sharing with fellow pilgrims). Please find a link to the Vimeo videos. I hope these are...

    El Camino: A mini documentary

    Thanks Nell! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. I'm excited about potentially returning to the Camino this year for research for the second novel (any excuse to get back to Spain really!). I was leafing through my credencial/pilgrim passport the other day. Such happy memories!

    El Camino: A mini documentary

    Re: El Camino: A mini documentary - UPDATE A bit of an update, in case people ever wonder what happened to the guy from these videos (me!). On the Camino, one of the things that I was wrestling with was whether I could finish the novel I was writing. I was really struggling with it and found...

    I definitely remember meeting that day, and having a beer in Puente la Reina! That is a cool photo you took .... and yes, that t-shirt of mine can be seen from miles away! Had a look through your photos and you took some awesome shots. Looks like you had a great time as well. Hope all is well...

    It certainly was! Although I'm from Melbourne, I am a Red Sox fan :-) Glad you enjoyed the video, and thanks a lot for the feedback!

    El Camino: A mini documentary

    So I did the Camino Frances in October 2010, and must say that it was the best month of my life. The weather that time of year was perfect (was only rained on twice!) and the albergues were not too full. As well as a lifetime of good memories and new friends, I returned to Australia with a...

    List your pilgrim blog URL Here - we want to read your story

    I have to say, I really wasn't sure if I should make the video, or even upload it, as it is kind of difficult to convey what the Camino meant to me (a few friends questioned why I would walk across Spain!?!). But after your very kind comments, I'm really glad that I did. Many thanks for taking...

    Video Journal of the Camino Frances - October 2010 I did the Camino Frances in October 2010. I don't think I am exaggerating to say it was life changing. The people I met and things I saw were amazing. But perhaps most of all it was just the month I had without any big decisions. My only...
