Solo Auzzie first timer leaving SJP

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
You will find plenty of camaraderie on the Camino :)
Buen Camino
 
Prepare for your next Camino on California's Santa Catalina Island, Oct 27 to Nov 2
You will have a great time. Buen Camino!
Hi, I'm heading off from SJP and stopping overnight in Orrison on the 6th.
Looking forward to some shared commradarie on my solo journey. 😊 Jo from South Australia (Lofty 1 on this site).
Go and enjoy as soon as you cross the bridge at st John you become a member of a very big family. The camino family. Good luck God bless.
 
Have a safe and wonderful walk Lofty. Sue from Western Australia.
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
Take it very easy for the first few days Jo. Allow your body to fall into a natural walking, rythym. It isn't a race!

Having said that, you'll have no trouble meeting people especially if you stay in Alburgues.

At dinner at Orrison, you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and say why you are walking the Camino.

The funny thing is that you'll probably keep on bumping into people that you meet then, all the way to Santiago.

Buen Camino!
 
Buen Camino Lofty. Orrison is a great spot for your first night and to meet so many others, to share your reasons for walking the Camino etc. You will meet so many people on your Camino, some will pass you or fall behind, depending on your pace. To reiterate Walton above, it’s not a race, it’s your Camino and you will settle into your own pace. Di (currently travelling Australia in a caravan but ex Sydney and planning my second Camino).
 
Ideal pocket guides for during and after your Camino. Each weighs just 40g (1.4 oz).
