Linda and Dueford Adams plan to start SJPP September 3rd. I have sent two messages to Orisson for reservation in the past two weeks but no reply. Any advise.

They will get back to you. I know it's a bit disconcerting but it seems they don't answer emails as they come in but do them in batches every few weeks. I'm a few days ahead of you - glad I'm staying at Orisson - maybe you'll catch me up

Welcome Linda!
It's true as Johnny says its the strangest booking place on the camino, I have to wait an extra day in St Jean (no hardship) because it does fill up. Eventually Jean-Jaques will get back to you. We are just so used to instant booking, the family is busy and the computer is not manned all the time.
Buen camino

Welcome Susan, Me too(in my 50's) and still young and adventurous! I walked last year some of the time with 2 beautiful Kiwi ladies aged 78 and 79! They were faster than me!

Sarah, I see messages where pilgrims are referring to wearing their 'Forum patch" on their packs. What is this? The only patch I have is from the Canadian Company of Pilgrims.
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
I got my patch from here on the forum in Ivar's shop. If you look at the photo of my pack on the previous page its on the right hand side. the other patch you can buy in almost any souvenir shop along the way. Mine was given to me by my son Ben when he walked the camino 5 months ahead of me in 2013.

Hi! Thank you for doing this! I am Rosalie from SLC. I will arrive in Bayonne by train from Lourdes on Sunday, Sept 6th. My friend, Windi and I plan to take a taxi to SJPdP sharing the Pilgrims price of $80. We stay at Beilari Albergue then walk to Orrison and stay there on the 7th. If we can share our taxi from Bayonne, we are happy to do it! Buen Camino!

Hi Sarah,
I'm starting my pilgrimage on Sept 2nd in St Jean. I'm sooooo excited about this upcoming adventure. I'm from Vancouver and have been getting to know our local mountains while training. Loving the preparation for my journey and realizing that in fact my journey has already begun.

Hello Melissa -
I am from Vancouver as well! I will be starting from St. Jean on Sept 6, so I will be a few days behind you. How is your training going in this warm weather?
Cheers,
Araz
Hi Araz,
It is warm out there!!! I try to leave early in the morning. I just hiked Coliseum Mt yesterday and didn't bring enough water. It's all a learning experience and I'm glad to be working out all the kinks now before I go.
Are you able to get in some hikes?

Hi Melissa, it's true, from the moment you decide to go you are already part of the camino family and on your way. I was absolutely fizzing with excitement mixed with a little trepidation the first time. The sense of accomplishment is unsurpassed.

Hi Joanne and welcome. You won't be solo for long! Pretty soon you will be surrounded by a wonderful camino family. You can walk alone if you wish but you will constantly meet up with the same people when you stop walking. Pretty soon you may have made friends with people you could keep in touch with for ever?

I just let people at work know and we'll start looking for someone to replace me while I'm gone.
After getting the plane and train ticket and booking the first night, now it really feels real! More than two months until we leave but I'm already pretty excited

Hi Anne, welcome. We may meet up? I'm a slow walker and will be nursing an injury so you may catch up to me? I put a pic on the previous page so you can see what my pack looks like. I met up with several forum friends on my previous two trips, great experience.

Hello, my name is Margaret and I am planning to begin walking the Camino on approximately September 17, 2015. Would you please add my name to the list?
hi Margaret , im Gerry, i sent that message about leaving St jean on the 17th of September as well. That's amazing we both posted on the same day. Im Irish and have my flight from Dublin to Bordeaux and train to St Jean organised. I plan to walk to Santiago . So see you in September.

Hi Gerry,
I leave Los Angeles the 15th, flying into Biarritz on the 16th,
I think. And then I will spend the night. Next morning, I take the train from Bayonne to St. Jean. Hmmm. I think that probably means I won't actually begin the walk until the 18th. But in any case, I hope to see you along the way. I also plan to walk to Santiago.
I have not reserved a place on the train from Bayonne to St. Jean. I don't know if that's necessary. If anyone knows otherwise and can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Needless to say, this will be my first walk on the Camino.
Thats great Margaret.. wow your coming such a long way before you even start your journey on the camino. Were bound on the " Way" to bump into one another. Only a few months till we start. Hope your training going ok. i walked some of it before but this time i plan to walk all the way as have good bit of time.
Hi and welcome Margaret, have added your name for the 17th can change to 18th if needed. Glad to see you talking to Gerry already that's exactly what this thread is all about, so you can see at a glance who you might meet. I know from personal experience that it really works.
I will arrive in St Jean myself on the 17th, not walking till the 19th (waiting an extra day for bed in Orisson) so maybe we can arrange to meet? I will be at Gite Ultreia.

I asked for the 18th and they offered the 19th!?! Its quite difficult to communicate with them when you have to wait days for a reply? I'll be a day behind you because I already booked for 2 nights in St Jean at Gite Ultreia. Sometimes things work out for a reason just because they do?
Will put you all on the list, it's really filling up.

What fun to meet fellow pilgrims ahead of time. My husband, Dave, and I leave home (Victoria, B.C., Canada) on September 7th, arrive in St. Jean Pied de Port (Errecaldia) on September 8th, and start walking on my birthday, September 10th. We made a reservation at the auberge in Orisson for that night. Our flight leaving Europe won't be until November 12th so we can mosey along as slowly as we like. That being said, I suspect that when we keep getting passed by other pilgrims we'll pick up the cadence! We are in training mode and packed already. This will be our first Camino.

Mario and Marsha Calvo departing California for Biarritz, France on Aug 26. Will probably depart SJPP around Aug 31 so you can put us down for that date. We are taking it slow and don't have a time limit in which to finish in either Santiago or Finisterre. We just want to get our bodies a little adjusted to the time zone and ready to hit the road! See you all out there!

Dear all,
I will arrive at S. Jean the 29th of August with the train at 12:30.
I don't know if it is better to start immediately and make a stop at Orisson or to wait and leave the 30th directly for Ronchesvalles.
any suggestion?

Hi steprog,and welcome, you certainly have time to make it to Orisson the same day, takes about 3 hours once you start walking and its very uphill in the beginning. they ask that you arrive by 18.00 or they will give up your bed. You need to be there by then for the communal meal. Have you booked?
I guess it all depends whether you are pushed for time? Also you will miss the unique atmosphere in St Jean? there isn't a lot to see there, do you need to rest up?Where are you coming from? Either way you will meet many pilgrims that you will end up walking with for days. Some people are restless and want to head off straight away. If you would be intending to stay at Orisson on the 30th then you get some time in St Jean and half a day off in the Pyrenees. Depends if you need/want to start quickly or slowly. You will need to book Orisson, its not usually possible to stay there on the spur of the moment, they like you to book.
Hope this helps?

Hi titoki, I know exactly how you feel, I was positively bursting with excitement to first time, but scared also. I was worried about that first big day that took me 9 hours! I did it though and the sense of achievement was amazing.
Anything in particular worrying you that I can help you with? Don't be afraid to ask questions, we're here to help.
