Camino 2022 - Camino Frances October to November - The Meseta - Part 4
The Meseta was the part of the Camino that worried me the most. I wasn't sure if we had enough time to walk the whole thing. Our initial plan was to ride a bike, to save a few days. However, I only learned to ride a bike last summer, and my skills are a joke :P. So we decided to walk.
I hope this video helps show some of the challenges of walking the Meseta. It is flat, but please don't underestimate it. I think the flatness is what makes it challenging. The distances to the next towns, plays tricks with your mind.
I also forgot to mention this in the video but, my feet, knees and calves, suffered the most in this part of the Camino. It might be because it's always the same muscles used. Where as uphills and downhills allows you to shift to different muscle groups.
Still I was happy to have the privilege to walk this part of the Camino Frances. It really is an important part of the challenge of walking to Santiago.

      The weather was great! We only experienced a lot more rain when we entered Galicia. But all the way from St. Jean to Leon there wasn't much rain. We did get extreme wind while we were on the Meseta. We started Oct. 8th and the Pyrenees route was open, with lots of pilgrims crossing. The albergue in Orrisson was also open :) I posted a packing list on the description of the video below, in case you're interested :) th-cam.com/video/Nj1rNaHhGBM/w-d-xo.html

    You guys are the cutest!! Your videos are to the point and honest and appreciate that. I walked 218km with a friend in 2018 from SJPP and had to skip quite a bit (train and taxied) due to time constraints. I had anticipated walking the full Camino in 2022, but alas, life intervened. I was pretty excited to know you walked in October. I only have 3 weeks and will walk from SJPP beginning first week in October for 16 days and end wherever I end. We walked 3/27 - 4/13 in 2018. It looks like you guys were caught in the weather transition from fall to winter with the wind. I live in Montana, which has similar elevation and weather as Spain. Thanks for sharing. It has helped to solidify my choice to walk in the fall. Looking forward to watching the rest of your Camino.

    You guys are pretty hardcore. Doing 31-34 kms, and starting before sunrise? Nuts! How do you like the downhill to Hornillos and Hontanas? Pretty steep, eh? Like you said, where's the town? Then it's right below you! I had to pause before braving downhill towards Hornillos. Emilio Esteves' son married the daughter of the owner of Casa Sol A Sol in Hornillos. As you know, Emilio Esteves produced the movie "The Way" that popularized the Camino even more. At Albergue Orion in Castrojeriz, we had Korean Bibimbap , a nice break from the usual pilgrims' meal. It was a nice surprise cultural lesson for most pilgrims. My horizon due to my neck injury is only about 20 feet max but I understand what you said about the seemingly endless meseta . My kids got tired each time I asked, "are we there yet?" Despite your long walks, it is good to see that you guys are safe and having a great time doing your Camino. Cheers, and can't wait to watch your next episode.
