Hi Jim, Betty et al. Excited or what! I arrive Madrid tomorrow Wed 23rd, bus to Pamplona, over night there and start the walk to Santiago on Thu 24th. Looking forward to meeting forum members and all other pilgrims en route. Buen Camino from Christopher.
Many thanks indeed to all; what a great help. It's about time I got organised, as I arrive in Pamplona next Wednesday the 23rd to start my walking to Santiago! Buen Camino. Chris

Hi. I'm starting from Irun June 9th. Is there anybody reading this who is already on the del Norte and, if so, can you let me know what the weather is doing at the moment? Thanks & Buen Camino. Chris

Hi. From the various messages it would appear that many people are setting off in May or September. Is anyone departing Irun in June? Would be nice to know that fellow forum-members will be on the trail at the same time! Regards Chris
Hi Lilian. That's interesting. I start on June 9th but if I run I may catch up with you! On a serious note, do you/anyone know how well signed the del Norte is? I'm trying to avoid carrying loads of maps and information. When I walked the Fisterra last year I had about a kilo of paperwork...
