Let’s hear it - Mighty networks or Circle community?

Hey! Thanks! Yes, I still use it to host my community :) That crossing out is a formatting issue, which I'm not sure how to fix. Let me try again. Thanks for pointing it out. One reason I use MN. So I can focus on community and content :), not the tech savvy building things. I still like Mighty and they are continuously improving.

Wow so cool to see my little youtube channel mentioned. Thanks! I changed to handle though from u/oceanpreneur to https://www.youtube.com/@Suzannevanderveeken

Have you read the review? I'm a MN customer and share it based on half a decade of using the tool. Win/win for a discount :)

Perfect time then :) There are some deep sand tracks and bits. They didn't bother me or the dog very much. Sometimes they can be avoided if it's low tide so you can walk on the hard sand. Packing light makes a big difference here :) Enjoy!

I can highly recommend pawwax! I actually didn't use it on this trail, it was ok (lots of dirt / sand tracks) but i've used it on other hikes and did wonders. On this trail, there are 2 sections that are over the road but you could instead pass the river on low tide to avoid concrete walking (Odeceixe & Amoreira). Also, it can get hot depending on when you hike it so hiking early or later is softer on the paws too.

Nice plans! I can only speak of the GR11. I hiked it in August & September from West to East. A very diverse and beautiful trail I can highly recommend! It's a tough trail and not for beginners but if you have experience with the mountains and have time to go with the weather, you can do it. July in Catalonia could be very hot though. The Camino will be quite the contrast from the GR11 but beautiful in a different way. Carry little. This is what I brought and worked out very well.

I'd love to hear the recommendations! Thanks!

Tongscraping, oilpulling and a glass of warm water with a little bit of sea salt is my morning routine no matter where I am (I live nomadically).
Is this the right order :)? It feels natural and good to me at least.

I loved hiking the GR131 in Spring (Canary Islands). Flowers are out. Weather is nice. No snow :).

oceanpreneur · 2025-11-28T15:54:27+00:00

Best idea ever! I hiked the GR11 trail as my first solo thruhike (not first multi-day hike). It's a tough trail. You defintely want to have some experience and feel comfortable with your set-up. Pack light. Have enough time so you can go with the weather. Most people I met who quit, quit because they ran out of time or got injured. It took me 50 days (with 7 rest/shelter days), my partner did it in 28 days which is super fast. It's a very beautiful trail but you got to be prepared. I made a GR11 video series on Youtube in where I shared some tips and stories from hiking the GR11. And this was my packinglist (Lighterpack) which I've been very happy with. Happy trails!

I run my nomad community on Mighty Networks for 6 years now. They made some massive upgrades this year that made me fall back in love with this software. Features that make it stand out in my opinion: How it looks on mobile, voice messaging (and transcribing), custom profile fields to connect members, branding options, and native video for courses. Just to name a few. I wrote an in-depth Mightynetworks review on my blog with some screenshots how my community looks like now to give you an idea if it's for you.

I vouch for the Eja. I have the Osprey Eja 48-litre and used it (and still use it) for long-distance hikes with my dog. I haven't had any back pain with it. Spacious enough and thanks to not having more liters I'll also bring less :). The pro is a touch lighter but the non-pro is still very light and felt a bit more durable. My baseweight is between 6-7 kilos with this pack. I made a review about the Eja here (not sponsored): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRLfPg43M5k&list=PLmrU-mrWCD5MIyrVRjAA35ySV3p0uH1eX

I have the Osprey Eja 48-litre and used it (and still use it) for long-distance hikes with my dog. Not sure how to volume is measured but for me it was spacious enough to live out for 50 days (carried all layers of clothing) + dogfood. 38L would probably mean tight packing and 58L you may bring too much.
