Hey Pennie and everyone!
I too leave today and start my walk from SJPP on Sunday. Pennie, I will see you at Orrison. I can not express how grateful I am for all the help, suggestions, words of encouragement and humor on this forum and of course Ivar. Without this forum and Ivar's continuous...
Jocelyn,
I too am leaving SJPP on May 18th and am staying at Orisson (have my reservation). I hope to meet you along the way. Enjoy your carefree approach!
Stefania
That's a good question Cyndy : )
It will depend on how my hike progresses. I am trying to just let it happen and if I go slow or somewhat faster than I imagine I think I have some leeway so I could be there when you arrive. How fast do you expect to walk? I think on slight ups and downs of...
Hi Cyndy!
I will leave SJPP on the 18th of May. I am going to be with a group until we arrive in Pamplona May 21 then I will be on my own. We are staying in Orisson the 1st night which is why we won't get to Pamplona until the 21st. What day are you leaving SJPP? Hope to meet you somewhere along...
Wynne, I am staying at http://www.corazonpuro.es and really looking forward to it. I can't remember when you are starting but I will be there the night of May 16th. Buen Camino
Stefania
Holly,
I agree with Kanga and I plan to stay the night in Pamplona. However, if you are really into paintings/art you might want to consider Madrid. It would take your entire day (and could take more time if you had it available).
So whatever floats your boat!
Stefania
Thanks Miss Pixie!
So glad to hear things are going better with your feet. I am taking 2 days to Ronsevalles as you did. My understanding of courage is having fear and moving forward anyway. You are courageous : ) Hope the good weather holds out for you. I will put the names of places to stay in...
Miss Pixy,
What an accomplishment! That is one of the hardest parts from my understanding ( I am leaving SJPP May 18th). I have trouble with heal cracks and use Gerlach's Extra foot cream (German brand) and after bathing feet use a heal file to get rid of dead skin and then apply the foot cream...
Keldi,
You will be a bit ahead of me. I will be leaving SJPP May 18th and arrive in Pamplona May 21. Depending on your speed and timeline we may meet up along the way. I have an Osprey backpack (red and black) and will have my Forum patch on it. I have blondish curly mid-length hair and am 5'6''...
Stefano,
I feel the same way. It is so exciting when I think about starting. I am starting more than a month before you and it is feeling very real now! Only 8 weeks to go as of yesterday. But I am trying to stay in the moment since this is part of the journey for me in the same way that...
Hi Keldi!
I just responded to Dave60 - see that also. I am glad to hear someone say they want to learn languages. I have been trying to learn Spanish on my own. I took French in high school many.... years ago but never had the chance to learn Spanish. Sounds like we will be starting around the...
Hey Dave
I will be starting from SJPP May 18th. That should be around the time you begin or maybe a day or 2 ahead (I am not clear on how long you will need to get there). I am staying the 18th at Orrison and will arrive in Pamplona May 21 (I am with a group until then but on my own after that)...
Hi Christopher,
I am so sorry to hear of your many losses recently. I will be thinking of you and wish you well. I have not walked my 1st camino yet so I have no experience from which to draw on regarding where to start. But, I think I would walk the CF (from where ever you decide to start) so...
Painter,
I am going all the way to SDC. If I walk too slow I may end up taking a bus for a part in the last 1/3rd but I am going to try to walk at "my pace" what ever that is : ) My return ticket is for June 27th so I have quite a bit of time. I am not a "seasoned" long distance hiker so I am...
Hey Painter and welcome to the forum! Are you starting your Camino in SJPP? Are you doing the Camino Frances? If so I will be starting a few days (May18th) after you. Meditative walking is great and I plan on doing my fair share too. Take care and if you go really slow we may meet up ; )
Stefania
Hi Catzilla! Welcome to the forum. You will be leaving 2 days after me from the US. I will be with a group until May 21 when we arrive in Pamplona, then I am on my own. Hope to meet you along the way. I will have my forum badge on my Osprey backpack. I am 5'6'' and slender with dark blond curly...
I am leaving SJPP on May 18th and will arrive in Pamplona May 21 as I am going to be with a group those dates. After that who knows? Hope to see many of you along the way. I will have a forum patch on my Osprey backpack and a patch with a triangle in a circle (black and white). I am 5'6'' and...
I think you and I will be walking at a similar time. I will be leaving SJPP on May 18th. I will be with a group until May 21st when we arrive in Pamplona. Then I will be on my own. Hope to see you along the way. I will have an Osprey backpack with my forum patch and a triangle in a circle patch...
