Hello,
2 years ago attempted the CF but only got to Viana before having to return due to illness. This year I'm going to give it another try; thinking about possibly detouring on to the Invierno to avoid the crowds.
First time for me too. 3 more sleeps until I get the train from London to Paris and then St Jean. Travelling solo until Sarria. Hope to say hello in person sometime soon!!
Hello,
I'll be a day behind you, but on a far less leisurely schedule...meeting SWMBO in Sarria on Aug 16. If you see me, say hello. Will look like this, plus a dust plume!!

Glad I've decided to travel down to SJ on a Thursday, as the TGV from Paris seems to be about €30 more expensive on a Friday.
Going to be about 2 weeks behind you...but about some years ahead of you. I like to procrastinate and I have found that wandering aimlessly through life is very much underrated by those around me.
Enjoy your walk.
From what I have been researching the train takes between 2 & 4 hours, depending on the connection at Bayonne.

Splashed out the princely sum of £34 on the train ticket to Paris last night. Travelling on July 23rd; leaving St Jean on the 24th. Coming back is a bit of a challenge. Even now the tickets out of Santiago are nearly £200, so looks like I might get the train to Madrid and fly from there and...
thanks...think I'll stick with my original plan...what's the worst that can happen!?!
While I'm here, I play the trumpet and don't really fancy not playing for a whole month as it will take e a long tome to get my lip back. Has anyone travelled the Camino with a trumpet or will I be the first?
Hello,
I am planning to start walking my first Camino starting in late July. Plans at the moment are to arrive in St Jean on the evening of 24th July and then heading off on the 25th. Should I delay a day or two as I understand that the 25th is a feast day in Roncesvalles?
Will finding...
