hi anakasha/nicci

A big Happy New Year to everyone on the forum but especially those who are walking the Way this year. Can finally say ....this year!. Most of you will still be waiting for midnight but here at the bottom of the world, it is New Years Day.

Hi Cathie-Therese from another kiwi,
there is lots of info here for newbies like us - like you Ive been planning for a while but I will be ahead of you on the Way...starting SJPP late april.
are you starting from SJPP?
enjoy your planning ....Ive just ordered 2 guides from the Confraternity of...
yes caitlin, you will be a bit ahead of me - its strange to think of other forum posters ahead and behind, all going in the same direction (a rare occurrence) - and quite a few aussies too as well as a couple of kiwis - happy planning.
Hi Caitlin
congratulations on booking those flights! - makes it real doesnt it. Where are you coming from? I will be 2 or 3 days behind you, starting from SJPP - Ive been keeping an eye on the forum for a while and all of a sudden there seem to be lots of posts for people starting in April. Im...
Hi Margaret
great to read you have plans made and dates set. well done, hope it all goes great.
Starting to see a few posts for people going next Spring (northern hemisphere) autumn for us. late march, early april, early may but no posts for late April starts like me - boo hoo - but never mind...
thanks everyone for your responses....
looks like the 2010 edition is available and I can pre-order the 2012 but no 2011 edition to be found...
Keith - where did you buy your copy?

Hi
Im trying to locate a 2011 edition of John Brierley's Guide to the Camino Frances. Findhorn Press only offer a pre-order for the 2012 editiion but it wont be available till jan and I dont want to wait that long. I think the 2011 edition will be good enough for my 2012 walk.
Ive queried a...
thanks for comments, I guess it depends on what happens along the way. I have changed my plans so I am now just doing the camino (Ha! just doing the camino! :shock: ) and then coming straight home.
I dont know how it will go or how I will feel at the end so I am just going to focus on the...
Hi
Im wondering how people have felt at the end of the camino....do you just want to go home to tv and a proper kitchen and laundry? or did you want to just keep going?
Im now definitely flying solo as my travelling companion has confirmed she is not coming (kinda knew anyway but now its...
Hi Theresa
I am also walking the Camino next year, on Camino Frances, leaving SJPP late April - my first time too.
Im sure all the veterans on the forum will give you lots of advice. Ive already got lots of advice from lurking about here.
Good luck with your planning and training
karen
hey thanks kiwinomad, I sure will....
right now I have another problem. I cant seemto get my departure on the camino calendar - when I click on the link there is no request for user name and password, and I can only get to the generic google calendar.
any advice?
karen
thats great Margaret -
I have followed some of your posts (and logged the bits of advice) so good to know you will be off again.
I will be walking the Camino Frances next year for the first time but I will think of you out there somewhere.

Hi jirit
I loved your photos, thank you so much for posting them. Im in the 'class of 2011' section under false pretences because Im not going till 2012 but had to respond to your post. The photos just made me want to get up and walk out the door and start now.
I can feel my feet...
Hi everyone
first of all, thanks to everyone who has posted their experiences, and all the advice on the forum. I have been lurking for some weeks now, checking out everything. Has taken me a while to figure out that you can summon up the most recent posts more efficiently than just lurking...
Hi everyone
I thought it might be a bit soon to get involved in the forum but now that I see there is a whole "class of 2012" maybe not....
I am starting from St Jean on 27 April 2012. I am from Wellington New Zealand and happy to connect with anyone travelling over May and also any kiwis who...
