Well done you two!
Enjoyed the trip down memory lane. The best pie was always at the next restaurant stop so keep pedaling
Bravo!
This was literally the hardest (most hilliest) RAGBRAI in all 51 versions of the ride. I hope you come back for a more "normal" RAGBRAI experience. 2025 is supposed to be a northern route aka pretty flat!
So true...so may hills! Never say never on the return, we loved it when we were over there! 😊
@@EverydayJourneysTV It's just SO much more of a party scene when the days aren't ridiculously hilly. I do hope you give it another shot you'll notice more riders and more social energy along the route.
Thank you both for sharing your experience. While I'm sad that you decided not to finish, I'm wildly impressed that you even came over to give it a go. You both did very well. I love RAGBRAI and have become addicted to the fun it offers. This will be my fourteenth year riding across Iowa. It's the best week of my year, every year. RAGBRAI is tough, very tough sometimes. The heat and humidity can really take a toll. I look forward seeing to your next adventure. Best wishes. 👍
Lol - thank you, it is certainly something that we look back on fondly 😊
Great video, thanks! I love the framed bird prints in your home, we have very similar taste. Can't wait to see more of your RAGBRAI experience. 👍
Lol....we love a little victorian natural art 🖼. Thank you, next video is out on Sunday 👍🏻
Thanks for the amazing guidance!
No worries ⛷
What time of year did you walk?
Hey there @KatieMcManus....we walked May/June 🚶🏻Are you doing the Camino?
Looking forward to the ride videos. You sure took the long way around. Not sure why you didn’t go straight to Burlington from Chicago and save a lot of driving.
Hey there @Andrewcorwin2275...we also do not know why we did what we did 😆, can only put it down to midlife brain fog. Ride video is out next Sunday. Thank for watching!
Great video!!.. could you please share which month was this when you travelled to Jungfrau
Hey....late Nov 👍🏻
Thank you 😊
hi im a beginner to ski and planning to go there this winter, can i know does the price for the ski includes the equipment too? im planning to buy online for skipass but i cant find where is the location of the resort
Hey - I used SkiSet.co.uk for ski gear and the nearest place is Serget Cachet Sports. Great little place and really helpful. We are back out there in Feb 2025 and are using this ski hire shop
Hi, which route is this I cannot determine from your video thank you
Hey @greeno6064...this is the Santiago to Finnisterre. There was a fork off to Muxia , but we went to the end of the world instead 😆
Thanks for the video. Thinking of going to chamonix. I’ve been before but my friend is a beginner. Was there a mix of easy and steeper slopes?
Hey there @tgroupy....yes, there was a great mix of slopes. We love Les Houches (went this Feb '24 and looking to go again in Feb '25) ⛷
why the selfystick? there is so much to see.
"Nodyn" is only one note however so I suggest: "the house of a note"?
Diolch- you did indeed stay at a place that translates as "house of notes". I love that shop - it is full of local produce.
What a fabulous family experience for you all. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching...hope you enjoyed 😊
Ha ha, you butchered the name of every place you mentioned! But it was lovely and fun and took me back. We'll done. 😂
Lol...it is one of my strengths 😆
👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🇮🇹🇨🇭
Broadhaven south & Barafundle, for me 2 of the best beaches in the world ..... sorry you didn't get the weather while you're there ( there's a car park the other side of Broahhaven south if you didn't want the walk )
I love Newquay in Wales. We highly recommend the Haven site because of the location. We saw dolphins at the harbour and we saw them on boat rides too. It was amazing to see them in their natural habitat. ❤❤
Thank you...we generally spent anything from 12 Euros pppn to 100 Euros for an AirBnB stay for four of us. Booking.com was also our friend during the Camino for some of our stays and we used the John Brierley book for recommendations for Albergue'. Hope this helps?
Enjoying your videos. Only wish you had included the price of some of this - like what did you pay for this room?
Hi, I love your videos. Followed you on the Frances and am inspired. What month did you walk the Norte route?
Hey 👋🏻....thank you for watching. We walked the Norte in April '24 👣
😂🤣😆The Handmaid……really started the day with a belly laugh! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 Well done on the inclines 🙋♀️
Thank you...it made me smile every time I saw Louise come round the corner with her poncho on. I slept with one eye open most nights 😆
woohoo. thank you,stunning done~Everyday.journeys.
🫶 Buen Camino 👣
The 100km marker was clean in May 2024 nice Horreo nearby
Ich war auch im Mai/Juni auf dem Camino Francés ❤
Fantastic! How did you find the experience?
I love this Mark,........when I think about my Camino del Norte starting in July, its those conversations you mention that I'm looking forward to. While I love visiting the cities, its being in nature realigning our psyches with what nature intended that brings the joy!! BTW,....I meant to mention to you, that you seem no longer to have a passion for tractors,...what happened?? I should say that I'm a trail runner girl, with Injinji toe socks. Buen Camino. PennyXxx
Lol...yes the Tractor fascination, think that I should bring that back on cam 😆
How available were cheap accommodations this time of year on the northern route?
Hey there @lpeter5781....they were OK to be fair. The route was quieter, however, we managed to find reasonably priced alburgues and hotels along the route 👣
Hola , i follow you on TH-cam when you hike the Frances. I hike the Camino Frances 2022. Now you hije the Norte and i go tommorow to Irun and start Thursday the Norte and Primitivo. Buen Camino and take care. Greetings from Germany
It is meant to be! Buen Camino 👣
I've missed your Camino videos, how exciting to see you on a new journey once again! Buen Camino peregrinos!
Thank you for watching 🫶
We loved this walk...there is not one Camino that we have not completed that does not bring us joy and calmness! Thinking of doing it yourselves...then check out our Substack (everydayjourneys.substack.comfor some great hints/tips packing guides etc )👣 Buen Camino!
Doing El Camino de Santiago? Did that when I was young too, had wonderful and very wet and uncomfortable time. Loved Spain so much I ended up settling in the south
What a beautiful country! No surprise you ended up living there 🫶 Thank you for watching and commenting. Buen Camino 👣
We are so excited about the long version of this video being released on Sunday! Beautiful, tough and wet sums things up for this stage off the Camino! 😉
Worst ever trail? You. We’d to come to some real mountains 😊
🫣
Bus is the sensible option! unfortunately due to my injury I had to use one as well. Your guide book says use a bus on the stages into and out of Leon in any case😊
It just needs to be done sometimes doesn't it 👣
You're back on the Camino, how wonderful! The Norte ist stunning and exhausting and wonderful. I wish you the most fantastic way - buen Camino!
The Camino Norte (and friends of ours) were calling 🫶...it just had to be done
Wow, steep and slippery, take care 🙋♀️🇦🇺
It really was...soooo steep! 👣
Excellent. The Mozarabe is definitely on my radar for my next Camino.
Is this the only episode for this route?
Thanks for watching. Yes, however, watch this space as we are aiming to get back as soon as possible to complete the remaining stages 😉
Haha we know that feeling of getting Hangry!! 😂😂 Have the best time guys…..we will be following your journey ☺️🙏🏼
🫶 Thank you...hows it going?
@@EverydayJourneysTV All good. We’ve been back home for a few days now since completing the Portuguese Camino!! I’m missing it so badly!!! So we’ve started looking into Via Francigena in Italy for our next one 😊
@@tipsytrekkers We would love to do that one! Heard amazing! Will keep an eye out for that vlog!
Great Albergie that!
We loved that Alburgue...so nicely done with beautiful rooms! 🫶
Looks like my room in the same hotel
Lol...no way! Did I leave my toothbrush there? 😉
Orio! - One of my favorite towns in Spain.............
Beautiful...saying that, the most of Spain is just stunning! 😍
I luv you lot,..I'm going to start my Del Norte walk in July, so your videos are so timely! The thing I enjoy about your reflections is that you make no bones about enjoying the finer things about walking across Northern Spain;...like, Café con leche etc, etc. Enjoy you walk, I will enjoy watching you! Buen Camino. PennyXxx
Penny...have an amazing time and do let us know how you get on. You starting from San Sebastián or Irun? Thank you, we are your normal run of the mill middle aged (old to our children) couple that like to explore the world and we are glad that this has come across in our videos. Buen Camino 👣
@@EverydayJourneysTV Gosh,...your videos inspired me to walk the Frances last year, which was fabulous. Regrettably, I found by day twenty myself and a number of fellow walkers got into a groove of starting each morning with Café con leche, a slice of tortilla and Napolitana de chocolate, then at the end of each day, an ice cream and a glass of beer,...OMG,...so extravagant. But watching you all pop into a pastry shop each morning before walking, set my experience;...but is was lovely! For the Norte I will start in Irun. Really cant wait to walk over the gorgeous beaches. Please remember to tell us all about your Albergue experiences. I don't intend to book in advance, so knowing where to head for good accommodation is most helpful. Enjoy the sunshine. PennyXxx
@@pennycatterick5148 This message made us smile tonight Penny 🫶. We are posting on SubStack our Alburgue/Accommodation if this helps at all: everydayjourneys.substack.com. Please keep in touch and let us know what you think of the Norte onwards from Bilboa. Buen Camino 👣
Nice to see you 2 on the road and looks like he needs tou for the operations/directions.lol..hope you 2 are good
We are all good thank you Ray...just currently sitting in the airport waiting to catch flight for our next adventure...Mexico!
Thank you for letting us join you on your way. Enjoy your journey and best wishes from Austria. Buen Camino! :)
Hi thank you for such an informative video. I'm doing the camino frances in June with my 3 boys 15, 9 and 4. Could anyone who has done the camino with kids tell me can I book albergues ahead? Or should we just turn up? My worry is being stranded with 3 bairns. Help help or advice very appreciated!❤
Hey...you are going to have an amazing time. We booked ahead (Booking.com or by phoning them in advance). If you mention that you are travelling as a group with your kids they often separate you out into your own area. Do not panic if you do not book ahead, there are loads of options on the Camino Frances for places to stay 👍🏻 Just do not leave it to late in the day. Buen Camino
Just subscribed to your channel as we're planning a visit to Arrow Bank with our two cockapoo hooligans.
Fantastic...this site is brilliant for dogs, make sure you use the dog area to let them run wild 😉
Hi, good to see you on another Camino, thanks for the video. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you for watching...as I write this, we are currently getting ready to walk another day on the Camino Norte ☺. You can follow our daily journey on there...everydayjourneys.substack.com
