Hi there
I'm intending to set off from Porto around 11 March, I see there is one person already on the Calendar but just wondered if there are any others? I'd love to hear from you and I'm just hoping I won't be walking alone!

Once my departure date is finalised I'll add it to the Calendar.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.

Don't think you're going to be alone for long. Coming up from Lisbon there's me and a German girl, might be just ahead when you start. Will be staying in Albergues for Peregrinos. Porto is a popular starting as is Tui, you'll be fine. Hope to see you! Bom Caminho! T

Dear Trevhock,
Your posts are very welcome. I will start from porto on the 11th of March. Hopefully Dalston999 will join me, although she detests snorers. :) You may be ahead some days, so your information is very much appreciated. It would be nice to catch up with you two, but I am not a very fast or experienced walker. Planning to arrive in Santiago on the 23rd of March at the latest.
Bom viajem

Hey, hey

I don't DETEST snorers, just would prefer not to be sleeping in the same room and kept awake whilst they slumber soundly! I always have my trusty ipod for distraction as I ve. Never found earplugs that work. Unless anyone has recommendations?

Bom caminho

Olá ! Anybody of you are going for the coastal route Porto- Caminha- a Guarda and Vigo to Redondela and so on to Santiago ?
If so , can we follow you on any travelblog ?. We are curiously interested about any experiences of that part of the caminho, specially the lodging facilities.

My wife and I are about to leave 6 th of May coming from Lisbon.
Bom caminho

Thanks Jan,
I will continue to try to post everyday on the Live forum and try not to get carried away. The young German pilgrim I've met will Also be leaving Porto on Monday for Santiago her name is Daniella, look out for her and who knows even Nalod. Bom Viagem
