“Six antipodean pilgrims between the ages of 50 and 80 will embark on the 900-kilometre Camino de Santiago to seek life’s answers. Some will be undertaking the Camino for the first time, while others know all too well how arduous their previous journey was.

CF in depth

Stephenson asked several pilgrims the same questions

"A Camino story of our 2018 journey walking with instruments. This film includes photos, music played on the way, and interviews with pilgrims. Each pilgrim was asked the same three questions:
1. What motivated you to do the Camino? 2. What is the best piece of advice you have received in your life? 3. What has been the hardest thing about the Camino. Watch to hear the the fascinating perspectives and experiences of twenty different pilgrims as they approach Santiago."

Kungsleden

This documentary gives a nice impression, recommended!

"A film documenting the 440km trek through the arctic wilderness of northern Sweden.

Setting off in September 2015 from Abisko Mountain Station, we spent the next 30 days heading south for the finish line in Hemavan, encountering many wondrous sights and life changing moments along the way."

And I have a third for you...

"Last year Team Yeti went to Sweden to hike the first 100km of the popular Kungsleden (King’s Trail). The trail opens for the summer season mid June, but 2015 brought a late spring to Sweden so even though our trip crossed the summer solstice (June 20-27), conditions were worse than expected and there was still a lot of melting snow. It was a slow, wet slog through the flooded valleys and the snow-covered Tjäktja pass. "

Still here? Great!

Let's have a look at this fourth adventure on the Kings Trail.

"We spent three weeks this summer hiking Sweden's Kungsleden (King's Trail)

from south to north.

Approximately 270 miles / 440 km in length it passes through

some of Northern Europes most pristine wilderness."
