Gday Colm , like you I walked the Camino in stages, never having the time to complete it in one go, over the years I managed to finish the Frances, Portuguese and Norte , and have been back many times to re,walk stages on the Frances, mainly ones at the beginning . And Like you I struggled with blisters in the early days, but learnt that good prep the correct fitting footware and traveling light makes all the difference . Enjoyed watching your journey and hope you get to finish it soon , the Camino can become extremely addictive . Buen Camino and good luck with finishing it . 🙏🏼
Thanks Sean! Yes, I guess the one benefit from doing it bit by bit is that I have been able to learn and prepare better to avoid problems, like blisters, or deal with them effectively early on. I am excited to finish this route in June and I am already eyeing up my next Camino! I do consider myself addicted!
HI Colm. NIce to meet you. I just stumbled on your channel. Nice video. I enjoyed watching. I’m going to have to go back and watch your earlier days on the t Camino. I just got off the Camino “The Portuguese Way” myself and have been posting short videos of my experience along the way. I am going to start following along with you. I just subscribed to your channel. I’m thinking about doing the Frances way next.
Hi Peter! Great to meet a fellow pilgrim! I will definitely pop over to your channel as I hope yo do the Portuguese Way next with my eldest daughter who is dying to do a Camino. I hope to get back to Spain at some point in 2024 - hopefully long enough to at least get to Santiago, but I won't consider myself finished until I've continued to Finisterre and Muxia. Bom Caminho to you!
@@ColmMcCann Fantastic. The Portuguese Way is much quieter. I loved it. The Frances appears to get crowded in sections from what I see in videos. I am doing the Portuguese Way is sections since I don’t have enough time to walk it all in one shot. I’ve now completed the sections from Lisbon to Coimbra and also from Coimbra to Porto. I’m thinking of doing the relatively unknown Algarve Way section from the most Southern tip of Portugual next, then my final section will be from Porto to Santiago. I hope to complete these two next year. Keep on walking my friend. You’re Camino is never finished even when you get to Finisterre and Muxia… there is always more Camino’s to walk. Bom Camino!
