Hi all, I am attempting my third Camino; walked 300 odd k in 2007 before losing my way and then again last year with my wife and 15 yo granddaughter. Last year we only managed 450 k due to injuries, Achilles strain, to my wife.
I cannot get the Camino out of my mind and must come back to walk...
Hi all, my name is Rod and I am from Melbourne Australia. Karyn, my wife and I (along with our 14yo Granddaughter) will be starting out from St Jean on the 1st April. I attempted the Camino back in 2007 alone but only walked 10 days before taking a side trip with some folk I met along the way...
Re: WALKIGN THE CAMINO IN OCTOBER 2007
Linda,
I leave Melb on 1 Oct and start walking on the 5th. Do you have all your kit yet? If not check out Backpackers Light just off Little Bourke St, they have been most helpful and reasonable. Best of luck and maybe our paths will cross. Enjoy the...
Hi Chris,
From one 50yo to another, good luck. I am leaving a couple of days after you and am also thinking of a stopover at Orisson. I will be pretty slow ( I have not done a lot of preparation) so our paths may not cross but you enjoy

Hi Bryan,
I am leaving Melbourne on the 1st of October and via Dublin will begin walking from St Jean on the 5th,
Maybe our paths will cross. The equipment topic is never-ending and although I don't think I will ever get it right I have decided to go with what I have. I have also opted for...
I will be heading out from SJPdP on the 5th of October and hope to finish about the 11th of November. My fitness level is such that I have no doubt Aarleks that if you arrive in SJPP on the 11th Oct and rest a couple of days you will still catch up with me.
I was very excited :D to hear that Aer Lingus fly from Santiago de Compostela to Dublin but alas....This was the response I got from the Aer Lingus Site.
:(
Flights do not operate on your selected travel date/s. Aer Lingus operates from Mar 25 2007 - Oct 26 2007 on days Tue Sat
I am leaving from Dublin on the 4th of October. I have a flight from Dublin (you can also fly from Shannon) to Biarritz then will go by train or whatever to St Jean. The return trip I have not planned out that well yet but probably Santiago de Compostela to Stanstead then to Dublin.
Don't know...
Thanks for that, sounds easy enough. I will most certainly visit St James Gate. I think the old brewery had more atmosphere but the view now over Dublin is great.
Thanks again
Hi BrightEyes,
I am also intending to walk early Sept and although I am from Australia I will be setting out from Dublin. My very rough plan was to fly from Dublin to Biarritz then by train from there to SJPdP. Obviously trying to organise flights etc from afar is difficult, not sure what...
It's great to hear of so many Aussies doing the Camino, I too am heading off in Septemeber, the current plan is to be on the road around the 5th. Originally I had company but now I am on my own. My mate Grant wants me to defer until 2008 but I don't think I can wait any longer. I am from...
Hi,
My name is Rod and I am planning to walk the Camino in September 2007. Originally I was doing solo but now I have a mate who wants to join me on the pilgrimage. He is keen to camp on the French/Spanish Boarder on our fist night; can anyone tell me if this is possible?
The plan is to fly...
