  • St Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela
    This is the first film that I made of my first Camino, walking the French Way from St-Jean-Pied-de-Port
    to Santiago de Compostela.
    I've also written a book, a collection of the blog posts I wrote each day on the Way.
    Read more about the journey here:-
    www.amazon.co.uk/Your-Own-Way...
    I'm now making separate films for each day of the walk, with additional content.
    Enjoy and Buen Camino!

    Hey John, such a beautiful video and documentary of your WAY. We must have been right behind you. Wish we would have met. We finished the French 9/29/18 and the Primitivo this 9/13/19. In our blood now. Can Not wait to return to “walk” again. For all of you saying you must do it, please DO it. It will change your life. The most magical, peaceful, contemplative days of my recent life have been spent on the Camino. Merry Christmas! Hope I’m getting tix to Spain! Ultreia! Hilary

If you found yourself falling behind on time, you can always hire a bike, for a stage or two, or even get a taxi or train to catch up. Go for it and see how it goes!
