I will keep an eye out for you Rachel. I have a turquoise Kathmandu backpack and will have my Camino Forum and Australian Pilgrims badges pinned on. September will be here in the blink of an eye! Enjoy all the preparation and anticipation in the meantime!
Rachel I will be starting from Logrono on the 6th Sept so may well get to meet you and your Dad. How lovely to be able to celebrate his 70th this way. I am in Sydney and looking forward like crazy to everything (except that looooong flight!)
Hi Molly 1952 - I hope to meet you somewhere along the way. I am meeting up with 2 of my brothers plus one sister-in-law in Logrono on 5th September. We will leave on the morning of the 6th. Maybe see you out there. I see you are from Ireland and am curious about your koala picture. Are you...
I will be back in September to complete my 2013 Camino when I walked Roncesvalles to Logrono, Astorga to Santiago. I had to leave out a section because I didn't have enough time to do it all in one go. My plan this year is to fly Sydney to Madrid, train to Pamplona (which I loved and am keen...
Hello there pilgrims present, past and future. I walked Roncesvalles to Logrono, Astorga to Santiago in September/October 2013. I will be heading back September 2015 hoping to have enough time to walk Pamplona to Sarria. Looking forward to meeting many of you forum members on the Way and...
Dear Donna and Tim - I wish you both the very best of health and buen Camino. I also hope to meet you both in person. I am doing a split Camino - starting in Roncesvalles on the 8th September, walking for a week. I will then train to Astorga, walk for a week to Sarria - and leave Sarria...
Hi Mary, I start at SJPP on 7th and stopping at Roncesvalles that night - so will be with you leaving there on 8th. I think we will all be in very good company!

Hello there Anna - how nice to think I will be meeting you along the Way! I will be spending the night at Casa de los...
Hello Sue from West Australia - I am from Sydney and will be starting on September 8th from Roncesvalles. I will be starting with my brother and Spanish sister-in-law who live in Madrid. It will be nice to have two fluent speakers to show me the ropes. If you get to Roncesvalles in one day...
Hi there! I am from Sydney and am planning on starting my Camino from Pamplona in September this year. My brother and sister-in-law from Madrid wish to walk with me for the first 7 days. Do you think Pamplona to Burgos too ambitious for us over 55's? I will then move on alone and am still...
Hi all -
I will be starting my Camino in Pamplona on the 7th September. Hopefully some of you will be there then too. Does anyone have a suggestion about accommodation in Pamplona, possibly near to the Camino trail?
I have booked a flight out of Santiago on the 1st October so have very...
Hello there Cheesepeter from Sydney - this is Fallow from Sydney. I am preparing to do the Camino Frances in September this year and am equally excited and nervous at the idea of it all! If you go to the April meeting at the Spanish Club I may meet you there to wish you well in person...
Happy to 'meet' you! I am almost 60 (will be by September) and will be doing the Camino at the same time as you. My husband plans to do some with me. Are you doing the Camino Frances and if so, when and where do you intend starting? Mary
Hi there Sharon - I have just looked at Easyjet flights out of Santiago and it seems they only fly to London, Basel and Geneva. Maybe something has changed?
Thanks for your thoughts Julie, Gitti and bklyntrav. Sorry to hear that you had such a hard time Gitti. The weather is something none of us can influence - I just hope to be lucky. You have all given me the courage not to avoid this stretch and I think that staying overnight at Orrison...
Hi folks - can anyone tell me how tough the first stage of the Camino Frances is (SJPdP to Roncesvalles). I have maps etc which show the elevation (looks daunting) but am still wondering just how fit you need be. Is the path generally good, is it very steep for long periods, is it dangerous...
