James in northern Spain was the obvious choice we walked the first leg of the communal take the northern route less popular than the main 420 17 from the rim and the French pulled up to go by then lasya we walked the next stages we will bow all the way through to Santander we had an amazing time on both ships but we were impatient to make progress and doing a weekly chunk of the communal once per year was getting frustrated so we agreed to cycle a big chunk this year from Santander to Bulava around 420 kilometers disappointingly ian was in to join because of work commitments the early one Sunday morning in May Nev and I set out pretty gingerly on higher bikes through the quiet streets of Santander and carried on cycling for the next seven days what follows is some of the cycling footage amazingly we only had one flat tire and I only fell off my bike once this is my first youtube video so it’s not slick or flashy but we hope that it gives an idea of the kind of terrain you can expect if you plan to cycle any or all of the community objects next year we’ll be back to walking typhoon the last 125 kilometers on foot from vallabha to Santiago de Compostela sir James under a field of stars when Camino [Music] I’m greetings from the first cycling day of a commune 2019 bike meadow and we’re a bike 14 kilometers N and we’re gonna do a 360 panning shots of the lovely bucolic scenery passing honey over there there’s some time down that directed yeah probably and we’ve got about another 50 yards kilometres to go to get that place called Camilla and we’re going to be staying tonight watch out for your social media channels and your data with the war every day when Selena in Covina [Music] [Music] [Music] and this is the reality of bite Mia he had lots of time in the road you get lost entirely time but sometimes it’s just I really big hill you can see new up in front there fishings might we think big hill we’re gonna have to do today amazingly we’d run outta water and we’re heading at a time but luckily we spotted this little fine turn which is daughter’s Fightin’s like this our daughters along the Camino so today for eyes as we were about to head into Hills this is actually a proper lifesaver [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] hi everybody its Andy forth on the Camino we’re on Rick today to an a piece called LP tow we just wanted to show you about 40 minutes ago we were in a town having lunch having such a TIA and now we’re in the middle of nowhere and this beautiful track and there’s nobody around at all and we’re gonna just bomb down there in a second we talked a lot on the kamini about bucolic a news invented a scaled beautiful points and this is definitely high up there nearly kill her John let’s get on it the mine said it [Music] [Music] [Music] cuz she passed incredibly professional [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
