El Camino: Surviving day 1

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
I like it, Not a fan of unnecessary swearing but I like the fact that you managed to vlog and walk at the same time and you got some really nice shots of the view out from the Pyrenees. I also enjoyed the slug obstacle course haha! What camera did you use by the way? And would you consider doing the camino again?
 
Hi all! I walked the Camino in August 2014. I wrote blog post about the first day of my camino. Would you mind having a look and letting me know what you think? Thanks in advance :)

Using my I pad with the sound all the way up I could not hear what you were saying must be a tablet thing. Very excellent using I assume is a go pro camera?
We all seem to find our walking mates it is interesting that it matters not the age, just the comfort of finding common humanity.

This happens if the note is missing the close bracket ~ ] ~ after the second QUOTE word (the one closing the quote). Good thing to do prior to clicking the "post reply" is to click "more options" then click "preview" and finally click on "reply to thread" if all looks okay on the preview screen. Que la luz de Dios alumbre su camino.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Reassure me that its not as steep as your fish eye lens makes it appear.:eek: Walking it next April, weather permitting. :) Buen Camino

It is that steep fish eye lens or not. Dont know where he got the energy to keep on filming. By the time I crossed into Spain, only a firm grip on my hiking poles was keeping me upright. Taking pictures was the last thing on my mind :)
 
So you didn´t see the col Lepoeder either.

Lepoeder means Beautiful pass in Basque but only a few people have seen it because the fog.:(
No fog when I was there, just snow and a freezing cold wind. Only time I wore sunglasses and that was to protect my eyes from the biting wind

Is it any steeper that the slog out of Pontedueme on the English Way? Anyone?

Great video, much like our crossing Sept 9-10 2015. Foggy sheep and horses, then we had pouring rain for the descent. Loved the views, and yes, they really are that steep! Thanks for sharing!!
