Hello September Pilgrims. I did a spring Camino Francés this year and wished I could revisit in the autumn.
I've booked my tickets, so I'm planning to start from Pamplona on 20 September. Unfortunately I've only got a week this time, but I hope to be able to raise a glass and wish some of you...

Welcome to the forum. I practically live here at the moment and everyone is so helpful. Hope to see you on the way. You might catch up as I'm planning to start on the 24th of April but won't be rushing.
Welcome soumie. I'm not likely to walk very fast, spending night of 24th April at Orisson if I can get a bed. You might catch up with me. I'm a South African living in England.

Hi Eric
Welcome on the forum. I'm a South African living in the UK, and I plan to start from SJ at around the same time as you, or perhaps a few days later, depending on flights. Hope to see you there.
