Anyone from the top of the South, NZ, walking the Camino Frances 2015?

[Jon & Viv]

Hi we are from Nelson, keen to hear from anyone in our area heading to walk the Camino this year. We are walking April-June. It would be great to meet and share plans.
Cheers, Jon and Vivienne

Don't worry if you don't find anyone to chat with before you go - it would be hard NOT to make friends once you're on the road!
We even met a couple who live a mere few minutes away from us at Bodenaya and kept meeting them after that.
And you've got this forum to share your enthusiasm;-)

But if you're ever up in Auckland, you can look me up too.

Hello Jon and Vivienne, we are not walking but cycling the Camino May-June this year. We are starting in Holland and cycling via Belgium, through Paris and joining the Camino in Le Puy, France.

Hi Mia - we are so sorry to hear of your loss. Maybe we will meet up on the Camino. We feel for you deeply.

 

[Jon & Viv]

I'm American but live several months a year in NZ, my daughter and I arrive in Roncesvalles on 14 Apr to start the trek on the 15.

Btw saw the Aarn pack, I'm using the same. I've purchased all our gear in ChCh or Qtown.

Hi Leslie+Skye, may you have a great time walking. Who knows - our paths might cross. Buen Camino

 

[Sarah Kember]

Hi Jon and Viv and all the other kiwi's walking the Camino. My husband and I are starting from SJPdP mid May - June. We look forward to following you journey. Good luck and Buen Camino! Sarah&Simon, Auckland

 

[Jon & Viv]

I'm planning to set off in late June from Figeac. I live in Nelson.

We are leaving this week, doing a little traveling before we start our walk. We will be back by mid June. Maybe you would like to touch base before you leave.
You have a very long walk in front of you - we had to look up where Figeac was!
Best wishes, Vivienne and Jon

Hi Rachel, we enjoyed following your progress last year as we began thinking and planning for this year. Best wishes for the Oxfam walk soon.

Hi Mia
I just saw your post on the kiwi thread....so sorry to hear of your loss. It is courageous of you to go ahead anyway and so soon. I wish you all the best and trust your walk will be a time of reflection and the beginnings of healing, and that others will be sensitive to you in your grief. May you meet many angels to minister to you along the way.

John and Viv
All the best - just a month until you begin walking. Enjoy your pre-walk trip too!
As for me, not long til Oxfam now - in fact, hopefully I'll be finishing about now in exactly one week's time.

My son and I will be at Gallipoli for the 100th too maybe we will bump into each other though with 10,000 people there it is unlikely.

Hi Jon and Vivienne…I'm from Nelson too….presume you are home again? How was it? I walked it back in 2010, and hope to do another Camino next year, and might even walk the return to St John Pied de Port. Love to hear how you got on…..
