Muxia was such a beautiful place to finish for sure - buen camino

It’s me !

Must have been nice to run through this landscape. Thanks for watching. Buen Camino

rosół and V7, this is a great combination... 🤝

Thanks for watching and for your comment. Yes, maybe our paths crossed. It was a great time to do this walk, I think we were fortunate to have such good weather. Though maybe you had a little rain just before we started on the Primitivo.

@@stroke6234 hey there, that’s great you’ll have such a good time. In May/early June it was quite busy but never felt crowded. We always stayed in municipal albergues. It never felt like there was a ‘bed race’ - though they did fill up as the day went on. If you walk at an average pace you shouldn’t have a problem finding a bed in the municipals. If you’re slower maybe booking can give you some peace of mind. I think though you’d be very unlucky if you turn up in a town and couldn’t find a bed anywhere - if the municipal is full there will almost certainly be other albergues with space. Worse comes to worse you could jump in a taxi somewhere where there is space. I love the public albergues because it feels authentic - and I met lots of interesting people. I also like the flexibility that comes from not booking - you just go with the flow. When you arrive on the Primitivo and you’re actually on the ground I think you’ll quickly be able to gauge what works best for you. It’s hard to imagine when you’re at home planning, but when you’re there in person, it’ll all fall into place. Buen Camino!

@@jfl0rez I didn’t really make it with any particular audience in mind - it’s just the style I choose to make these videos in.

We often walked very early in the morning when it was cooler.

Hey Marco! It was good to walk with you too. Thanks for watching bro. Take care and enjoy your travels!

Ah yes we must have just been a day or two behind you. By the sounds of things we were lucky because we hit the road just as the rain stopped. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks so much.

This was a lovely comment to read, thanks so much.

That makes me very happy to hear. Thanks for watching and your comment too.

muchas gracias.

Thanks for watching and your comment. I hadn’t heard about the Camino Salvador but I just looked and that’s sure to be great. Have a good time.

Thanks for watching man, I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Some good woofers on this trip.

Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse réfléchie. Ultreia!

Thanks for watching and your comment. I think if I was doing it again I’d choose late March/early April - I think that would be ideal.

Thanks so much for your comment. That’s exactly what I hoped this video would be.

Glad to be of help, thanks for your comment.

Correct, I was behind the camera recording Phoebe. That’s just how I choose to make these videos. Thanks for watching.

It’s a pity we didn’t cross paths. You’re absolutely right about the rubbish on the trail. We met a few people who were carrying bin bags to pick up rubbish along the way, I wish I had done more of that. But the change has to be with the people who are littering of course. The Frances is so popular I think people get away with a lot of bad behaviour. I expect you’re right about the other routes, people hiking those will probably be more conscientious.

Did Camino Portuguese Central Apr 16-29 and was very pleased with how little trash there was. It is not near as popular as the Francés, which may be why it is cleaner.

Yeah I love it - except the pheasant who is so noisy. Thanks for your comment man.

Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.

Thanks for watching 🙏 we left SJPDP on 5th March - arrived in Santiago on the 2nd April.

Thanks Josh 🙏 yeah that’s a good point I’ll have to figure out how to do it.

Thanks for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for joining us 🙏

Haha gotta love that little chico …Thanks for your comment!

Agreed a lot of these things can take away from the experience. I have to say though, this particular vending machine after Roncesvalles saved our lives. It was very early in the morning, freezing cold and no cafes were open… that little 1euro coffee was so welcome it tasted absolutely amazing and thus became a highlight of the trip for me haha! I do take your point though. I imagine some of the other Camino routes may be less popular and therefore a little less ‘commercial’ feeling than the Francés can be at times. On the whole though none of these aspects were enough to ruin the trip for me I still think it’s an amazing route.

Glad to be of help! Thanks for your message and good luck with your trip, it sounds exciting.

Glad to be of help! I bought a complete service kit from the website 'gutsibits' - code for V7 full kit 'SIA28001' . I think the code for the individual O ring is ENA90444 - but double check this is the correct o ring. It might be worth emailing them if you are unsure. Good luck and thanks for your message.

@@robinfrench1914 thanks mate! :)

I never got round to making a video for that but I know a good video on youtube - 'Moto Guzzi Breva 750 Gearbox & Bevel Drive Oil Change' from the channel 'Mike's Machines' . Different bike but identical process, maybe cross check with v7 service manual to be certain. It's a very easy job - goodluck.

different models - even if the V7 and V7 Racer- have different locations for gearbox drain plug- Mine is so close to the rear exhaust bypass that cannot extract the plug. The service manual does not even discuss it. I did it once but I think maybe I altered the position of the crossover pipe with the pitbull stand and made it move closer to the drain plug which come out horizontally.. or maybe I have lost my mind?? Lol Thx for your reply

​@@louismartin4446 Hmm - Which model do you have? The V7 Classic? I think I had the same problem as you but I removed one side of the exhaust and then unbolted the part that's close to the plug (zgu1006). Have you tried that? Or perhaps a spanner might fit in instead of a socket? I guess you've already tried that. If that doesn't help ask the people on Moto Guzzi V7 UK facebook group - they'll have the answer.

@@robinfrench1914 HI, Yes used spanner but cannot remove plug all the way…and not enough to drain any oil. It’s a 2012 V7 Racer. I find it odd that I would have to remove exhaust..but that is easy- just annoying. I wonder why they do not address it in the manual. Gear oil doe does not get contaminated and lasts a long time. Maybe they just assume you will remove the exhaust and do the change every 12000 mile or so? LOL…I do not see any damage (warp or bending ) to the crossover pipe but I serioously think my Pitbull leverage tragel musdt be hitting that pipe and I am not sensing it when I lift the bike. The Pitbull I have is made especially for the V7 given its cross brace at the bottom. I did not have the patience to further investigate any interference there and just decided I would look into it at the next fluid change in 3000 km or so ….Thanks again for your help with this Robin…..Louis, Canada

@@louismartin4446 Ah I see, yes it's a bit of a faff to have to remove the exhaust just for this job. Nice one, thanks Louis.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for saying so
