Yup! Chasing the clouds shadows may define insane. ..lol

Those pork scratchings wetted my appetite had to go to ASDA to buy some then carried on watching your video 😂😂. Nicer weather the further you head south.

some lovely views, the meseta or plateau in Spain might not look as green as in the north of Spain but it has its charm. Which model is your bike and what tyres are you using if that's not asking much? I have a 3X hardtail MTB, an 1X hybrid fitness bike and a 2X road bike, all of them relatively budget bikes and I think I am in love with the Elops Lond Distance 900 from Decathlon, and the Riverside 920 SRAM NX for a possible future bike, and I was just wondering.... (all of the bikes I have, eve nthe road bike, have flat bars, I am more used to them). Safe adventures!

Thanks for clicking! What a day this was, hot hot hot but stunning scenery, met a multi camino rider and the food wasn't bad either. If you enjoy it please hit Like and Subscribe ;-)

Great video brother Mark 😊 Those large 'pork-scratchings' looked delicious. Quick question... how do your chocolate bars not melt in the heat? It must've been nice to cycle alongside a fellow biker, even if he was a wee bit faster than you! 😊 xxx

Hi Roadypacker, excellent video again and very impressed with your conversational Spanish it's better than mine ! There must be times when you feel a little unnerved about if you are going in the right direction or not ? I have cycled in that sort of heat a couple of times but I won't recommend it ! Glad you are finding water, shops, and hostel's ok, good luck and take care, thanks for sharing 👏 👋

We did this route in May......I feel your pain.....stunning area

Beautiful view, watching from Nairobi, Kenya

you were so close to Aguilar de Campoo, lots of romanesque churches there. Well, romanesque churches are all over the place in Palencia, Burgos. Valladolid, Zamora, Galicia, etc, those are very ancient churches. Also gorgeous

I went this road from Aguilar de Campoo to Reinosa and around the lake some 10 days ago, nice memories. The sign of Camino de Santiago is not the Via del Plata, but Camino Olvidado 😊

Loving the videos, what a great adventure. A quick question, was there a particular reason for cycling north to south (prevailing wind, ease of assents etc) or was it just the way it worked out? We are planning on doing the Santander Mediterráneo Vías Verdes route, which has a similar start to yours, and are trying to decide if its better to go N-S or S-N. Looking forward to day 4 😀

Does the route sign with the “X” mean “this isn’t the route”? Thats certainly how French walking and cycling routes are signed

Camino is a generic term. El Camino would mean a well established route.

We are ahead of you having rode from Paris and now in Burgos, Weather is atrocious atrong headwinds and constant rain for the past few days, Hope it inproves as you head south,

"No se rinde" = "won't surrender" - god only knows why the wrote "Indonesia won't surrender" in the middle of Castilla, but stranger things have happened. Nice video!

Great video again brother Mark. I liked the 'large marbles' anecdote! Xx

Have you reached the hotter part of Spain yet ? Great viewing again , i will have to cycle north to South myself one day. Looks epic. 👌👍

Thanks for clicking! This was a very chilled day of gravel tracks alongside canals which brought it's own obstacles!

Ánimo, hace tres días he acabado esta ruta, camino del Cid.

Iron in soil appears red. Sulphur would smell nauseous and yellow/orange.

Thanks for clicking! This is only day 2 and what an adventure so far..... today I follow a tractor, ride over a damn and admire some stunning scenery and of course it rains just to make me feel at home!

Nice trip, inspiring me to do the same next year. "Rotas" would be "broken", from the verb "romper". "Rozas" has two meanings - one is the verb "rozar" meaning something like touch/brush against/graze. The other meaning (and the one relevant to place names in Spain) is land that has been cleared/cleaned up to get it ready to sow. Bienvenido a España y buen viaje!

Great video brother Mark. Beautiful scenery & those hills.... good grief 😮 xxx

Another great video , I hit some serious steep hills when I left Bilbao last year. I recall one being 23 percent gradient but worth the views. Took over an hour to push my bike in 32c heat.

Camping stoves and all open fires are illegal on Dorset Beaches. Please can you pass to your fellow travellers. Thx

Looks awesome brother Mark, you're a machine!

Hola, great video of this big adventure trip, i think you will be walking quite a few hills which is wise, look after your knees pal. So wild camping most of the time, but there will be Campsites with showers and or hostals, etc. When you stop at a village/town and you want a cooked dinner ask the waiter for a Del Dia which is menue/meal of the day which usually is a 3 course meal which might include a small drink (beer or wine)the cost would be the equivalent of 1 course in the UK, this may more apparent in a town maybe and perhaps further south but it might be everywhere? I live in the south of Spain but not in the area your heading for, good luck and all the best and take care, look forward to the next part 👏👋

Great footage of this epic trip , so envious , countryside looks lovely , wish i had the time to do this ! what model Garmin you using matey? keep enjoying your trip 💪

Thanks so much for clicking on this series. I've tried to capture the highs and lows of, what is for me, a challenge of a lifetime! This tour had me digging deep but the forever changing landscapes, the changing weather and of course the welcoming people of Spain kept me going. This is episode one, i'll be uploading every Friday at 6pm.... see you there ;-) Check out the description box for more information on each day and the GPX File for each day 😉

Your camera and videography have got really professional. JOGLE was good but this was brilliant. The voice over and music are great! Well done, buddy. Well done! I wish you put more in about your overnight - I’d love to see more of your camp and nighttime adventures. 👏

Nice , I've been looking forward to this video

Really enjoying your videos.im doing it in a weeks time but going down Newcastle upon Tyne way then York etc..im curious how much weight were you carrying and wild camping how did you keep your Garmin and phone charged..I'm planning on camping but probably campsites so I can charge things..once again amazing videos..(haven't finished them all yet)

Well done Mark, keep it going. VJ

Good to see you back roady, please edit out your calfs in the up coming vids. Will definitely donate once I get my pension Monday 👍

Day 4 ? Are making videos for this tour or just clips.

chainrings fella..

Very enjoyable video. Am hoping to do the North - South journey down the Avon starting at Pewsey. There are several branches of the Avon - two seem to converge at Upavon and again at Salisbury where the river Nadder joins up. Until fairly recently large vessels would get all the way up to Salisbury and beyond which is why there are so many old towns and villages along the route. It looks a tricky area for wild camping though. Not too many isolated place. Glad you found that spot alongside the river!

Twix.... good choice!

Asda Chicken Vindaloo is awesome, although it used to be £1.50 still is awesome though, Subbed.

Imagine my amusement watching this knowing that the middle beach steps had been washed away 😁 Cool video btw, you're a braver man than me camping there. Wild deer and the occasional odd-bod.

Nice trip 😊 subscribed

Fantastic content Subscribed ✔️ Keep the great videos coming. Alan

good one. subbed)

thats the way :)

Travel light,freeze at night 🥶

This was one for my top 5 for sure!! Thanks for watching ;-) Check out my other cycling adventures on my channel, see you there ;-)

Great video, Mark - love it 👍🚲

Thanks for the video, i will be putting these on my wheelchair for our trip to Iceland next month.

I've just re-watched all of your JoGLE for the second time, Mark and that is some achievement. I've been wanting to do this myself for some time now and I'm thinking if I get planning now that next May might be the time. I'll be 51 by then so probably time to get it done! Keep up the great videos and adventures. Your videos are very watchable and enjoyable 👍👍

Hi Mark. What tarp do you use? I've bought a bivvy bag and need a decent fairly cheap tarp to go with it but I've never used a tarp before for camping 👍 thanks.
