- Join me on my PILGRIM Documentary Series along the Camino Frances on my Camino de Santiago journey from Leon to Ponferrada. Leaving the picturesque city of Leon, I travel through the final remnants of the Meseta landscape until reaching Astorga and on through more mountainous scenery towards the historic town of Ponferrada. Follow me as I walk through stunning landscapes and challenging terrain of the French Way. Don't miss this unforgettable adventure including conquering new heights and join with other pilgrims in laying down the rocks we have carried from our home lands at the Cruz de Ferro, as well as exploring a knights templar castle which looks like something out of a fairy tale.

George!!!!! 🤗🥳 Hello!! 👋
So nice to hear from you and I’m glad you got to see the videos! Buen Camiño! 😊
Kate!!! I love your videos - so many memories. 💜💜💜 Thank you for sharing these with all of us 🙏🏻
Aww thanks Jeanette! 🥰
So glad to see you actually met Tomas, the Templar. He was not at home when I was there last time.
And, well done coming down that mountain on that path with all that bedrock. It ruined my knees.
Thanks for sharing your experience. 😊
It was nice to meet him!
Thanks it was a little steep!
I've enjoyed all 5 chapters. Waiting for your next. I was there September 2023 (we were probably fairly close to each other) and also June 2019 with my 11 year old. Ibuprofen saves the day (and a glass of wine).
Thank you! We may have seen each other! Ifs great you got to walk with your child. I agree ibuprofen and wine were helpful at the end of the day!
Beautiful places!
They are!
Another fab video, Kate ❤
Thank you 😊

Great stuff Kate. Buen Camino from your Finchale friends.
Thank you! 😃
Hi Kate,
Really enjoying your journey. I restart my camino on 7th September from Burgos. What time in the morning did you usually start, and is earlier the better to avoid the heat? I used walking poles up to Burgos, do you think they will be necessary from Burgos onwards?
Thanks
Neil
Hi Neil
I’m more of an owl than a lark and I find getting up and going early difficult! But ideally Ithink getting going anywhere between 7and 9 is fine. Perhaps a little earlier if it is really hot in the Meseta. But it really depends on how far you intend to walk. It’s not pleasant (or safe if it’s very hot) walking in blazing heat in the afternoon. I personally don’t use walking poles and didn’t feel I needed them. But some people love them and use them even on flat ground - so it’s a difficult one to comment on. The section after Cruz de Ferro you may find them useful. Have a great Camiño in September! Kate
Hi Kate,
When's Chapter 6?
Neil
Hopefully a week or 2!
