Stupidest Thing I’ve Done on The Camino!

[kfw]

Let me start off by saying that I have done 10 Caminos. This is not to brag but to say that I should have known better.

Before my last one, my grandkids convinced me that I should document the journey with a GoPro and related equipment. I suspect that there was YouTube influences at work.

Despite the fact that I am older than dirt, I bought into it.

Seriously how can another 25 pds do any harm?

I suspect you know the answer.

Oh well. If you want to see the footage of someone swearing over 32 days, I can send it to you.

Hope your grandkids appreciated it!

Made me laugh!!

And you didn't send it all ahead after the first day? I'm impressed with your stubborn determination.

Thanks for the chuckle, @kfw. Yup.
Should'a. Known better, that is. Now you do!

(I throw out old receipts and brochures every few days to avoid unnecessary weight - having learned that early on from @SYates .
Taking a GoPro? Never in a million years. But then I don't have Grandkids and avoid YouTube like the plague that it is.)

I had one once and got rid of very quickly afterwards. I do though have an upside down HD video of me riding a horse. Have never got round to editing it as my equestrian skills look better from that viewpoint.

Ah, an Oscar performance in the "Short Documentary" category for sure.
As a grandfather of male offspring, with a bit of a sense of humor themselves, when I approach them at Christmas to go Caminoing with Pop next year, them sharing the GoPro
is a spectacular idea. Thanks for the heads up.

Next time make your grandkids walk and have them carry the equipment!

You have a great sense of humor about this. Made me smile this morning.

pds = Pounds? I have a GoPro, probably far less than a kilogram. On Camino or another trail, I would likely use it. But not 25, 10, or even two pounds of "related equipment."

Maybe also my drone, that allegedly is able to follow slightly behind me on its own. But that, too, is far less than a kilogram.
