I notice that in various places people are stating their start dates but so few are putting them on the Calendar. I wonder why.

April 2022 Moderator note: The calendar is no longer in use. We now have threads for each month where pilgrims can list their starting date and place. You can find them by clicking here.

Mine is already on it the day after you start from SJPdP - but last year even with the old calendar I didn't know it existed when I did a different section of the Camino Frances. Its not the most obvious feature! And not helped at the moment by the link at the bottom of the forum page that still leads to the old calendar
 
True about the link. But I started this thread as a reminder to those who have forgotten it and to bring it to the attention of those who are unaware of it's existence. I'm sure that newcomers with concerns about walking alone may get some confidence from seeing that they may encounter others from the forum.

Its certainly worth bring more attention to it!

Thank you, Thank you so much for doing this. I had no idea there was a Calendar. I have been reading these posts every day hopping to know who else from this forum will be on The Camino Frances first week of May. Since this is my first and I am going alone, it would help to know.
 
Hope to meet you along the way rovingrufus.
When you starting Odem? Whenever it is there will be plenty of people around and before you know it you will have a whole host of new amigos!

Hi Al,
Please explain how to add events to the new calendar. I did it in the past but can't remember how now so only partial information on my camino is on the calendar. I will be about a week behind you so I don't expect we will meet but I enjoy your posts.
Thanks
Stefania
 
At the bottom of all pages is a link to the calendar. Click on this. The old calendar page appears and at the bottom is another link to the new calendar. The new calendar appears after clicking this link. At the top of the page is a button to click to add a new post. Get back to me if you have any problems.

Looking at the camino calendar only four people from this forum are walking in August, so it might be just a little to quiet even for me.
 
April and May are the busy months!
 
I only have a phone and can't pick up a calendar link. I arrive in Madrid on May 1st. I am from upstate NY.

There will be plenty of pilgs in August, don't worry. You'll wish there would be less crowds :D

Al, I am reasonably computer/internet savvy, but attempting to enter my start date (April 30 from Sahagun to Santiago de Compostela) has been an excercize in futility.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

I also have tried numerous times from my iPad but keep getting " enter valid message"
 
Hi Al, thank you for starting this thread. You are right, it would make me feel more confident knowing more people are starting at the same time as me. I have read that the camino from Lisbon to Porto can be a lonely walk, but as Diogo writes in a different thread "you never walk alone"
I have added my leave from Lisbon in June in the calender thanks to your reminder. Hope to see other pilgrims leaving at the same time.

I tried to enter the start on My Camino May 3rd from SJPP but the instructions are too confusing. I gave up.

Hi, Odem,

I've found instructions written by falcon some time ago quite easy. Maybe you didn't come across those:

"How to use the new calendar:

1. Click on "Events" in the first tool bar at the top of the page.
2. Click on "Post New Event". Name your entry. I suggest something like "Falcon269 leaving SJPdP." Or just "Falcon269" or "Colorado Meeting", since you can input additional information further down the entry form.
3. Describe as you wish. It would be a good place to put ride pool requests, blog name, and your country of origin. An entry in "Venue" seems to be required, so perhaps your camino name, or just repeat the starting point. For an event you can enter detailed location information.
4. Un-check the RSVP box unless your event is something like a club meeting and you want to collect RSVPs.
5. If you make the event a multi-day event, your entry will repeat throughout your pilgrimage, and probably will make the calendar unreadable as entries for twenty pilgrims per day are amassed for thirty three days, yielding as many as 660 entries on the 33rd day! Just your start date and finish date are probably all that is necessary.
6. Save the entry."

Best of luck and Ultreia!
 
@wayfarer
You actually don't have to. Just click on the "Events" in upper row on the main page and then "Post new event" (above the current "new" calendar) :)

Good luck!
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
May I just add that it is much easier (that's for me of course) to see and understand entries in the camino calendar as for example "Al the optimist leaves/starts/coming etc. to whichever city" (I know you did it that way Allan ;)) than "pilgrim on Camino Frances". Later option demands much more clicking to get it clear who and from/to where will be walking. But of course there's no rule about that :)
 
Thanks a bunch Al. Until to your act of kindness, my wife is the only person who has responded to my whining. :)

Try using a computer instead of a mobile device.
 
Thanks for the advice, but good ole Al took care of it for me. Yea Al!

Thanks Helen, I have exactly the same experience.
Mark, I put your June 1, 2014 date on the calendar. The only thing is that my picture is beside the entry. If you would like me to remove it, I will. Just let me know. Pennie

from SJPP. Thanks so much!

It doesn't work using safari. I had to switch to Firefox to add mine.
 
Like so many others, I have given up.
This is much more complicated than surely it needs to be.
After filling in all sorts of boxes I just get "Please enter a valid message."
Given up ... don't have enough time for this :(
 
I had the same problem repeatedly until a certain Optimist entered my info. There has to be a better way.

I second that motion. Our gratitude to Al for serving as the Calendar Man!!!!
 
Hmm, I entered all info (maybe several times since I'm not sure where the info is going to appear), and the Calendar accepted it all. However, now I can't find it. Don't want to enter again until I find the original.... Can someone help - I thought I entered departure date of 5 Sept from SJPP to Santiago. Thanks!!

Hi Terry, you entered your start date today. Under the message box there is a date and time when the "event" starts, and that is the Sept 5 date you must have. You can go back into April 21 and edit your event though and correct the date. You might also want to edit it to say "Terry leaves SJPP" If you need more help or better instructions, let me know. I think I can help you out. At least I think I can. lol Pennie

Thanks so much Pennie!! I was s0 sure I'd selected Sept -- but I guess not!

Not only did Al the Optimist entered your info, he kind of entered into your life as well :D

I still cannot find the calendar.
Up at the top of the page, do you see "Events"? Click on that and it will bring up the calendar. If you don't see it, or if you don't then get the calendar, it might be because of the browser you're using. Some people have been having difficulty especially with mobile devices. If you are still unable to access it or post your start date, just reply back with your start date and I'll put it on the calendar for you. Pennie
