Hi folks. Just a quick post to make you aware of Andrew Suzuki’s new website “BeyondTheWay.net“. Andrew has been creating a documentary via Facebook and YouTube about the Camino and now you can watch these under the one roof. He also provides great tips in his “Don’t Stop Walking” videos and he has 5 episodes of “Beyond The Way” uploaded documenting his Camino from 2014 (Episode 5 below).

The website is great, very user-friendly and I give it a big thumbs up. So if you are not a Facebook “fan”, then you can catch all his episodes on his website. Don’t forget to pour yourself some vino tinto beforehand as you will be drawn in :). I will post this link in my Camino Links page also.

Another weekend has arrived and yes, it can only mean one thing…here’s another weekend watch!! 🙂
Here is a great 5 minute summary of a full Camino uploaded to YouTube in the last week. The start of the clip has a great phrase: “Everywhere is within walking distance, if you have the time“, which is very true. I long to have the time to walk 1000km. It’s great that the uploader managed to take clips of the running of the bulls in Pamplona and some of the festivities in Navarra.

You can find my Camino de Santiago playlist on YouTube and the full “Weekend Watch” archive is located here.
Enjoy!

It’s the weekend once again, folks, and another “weekend watch” is due. This clip shows one man’s walk from the start to the end of the Meseta on the Camino Frances. The Meseta is the central Spanish tableland, which divides the Camino Frances between Burgos and Astorga. It is a part of Spain known among pilgrims for its wide skies and flat lands, all of which mess with perceptions of time and distance. Some people find this part of the Camino daunting as it is likely to get under your skin, test your mind, and confront your heart. As a result, many people choose to skip this section by bus. I have walked the Meseta in 2013 and 2015 and much prefer it to Galicia or Navarra. I can’t wait to go back!

Here is an article about the Camino de Santiago in the Daily Mail. It has been a while since I have read anything in the papers about the way. It was published in 2011 by the way.
