Class of 2013
Hi, everyone. I'm from near Toronto, Canada, and I've just "crossed the Rubicon", having booked my flights and first night's hostel in Sevilla. I'll be walking the Via de la Plata starting Sept 19th (or 20th depending on jet lag). I've been doing a lot of planning over the past many months...- ramble-on

Dan, American starting in Le Puy in late Sept
Hi Dan, I'll be a few days ahead of you, leaving Le Puy Sept 14. Hoping to get to SJPdP or Pamplona if time and muscles permit it. I'm envious of your "camping sauvage" as it gives you so much freedom, but for me the weight of tent and camping gear would be too much. For the gites, I know the...- ramble-on

Class of 2011
I'm a repeat offender - completed the CF last year from SJPdP to Santiago. Less than 3 weeks to go for the second round! I'm flying to Paris, TGV to Lyon, then on to Le Puy for my start on the Via Podiensis on September 14. I'm really looking forward to the walking, the sights, the history...- ramble-on

Starting Sept. 2011, from Texas
My wife and I flew into CDG last year in April, arriving around 8:30 am. We stayed in Paris for a day, but there are fast trains (TGV) leaving from stations in Paris that should get you to Bayonne mid to late afternoon. We were lucky in that the train from Bayonne to SJPdP was actually a bus...- ramble-on

Class of 2011
I agree with Tim, and did the same last year on the Camino Frances. I used too big a rucksack (50+ litres) and filled it with too much heavy stuff I didn't use (and ended up throwing away). Think of your camino as a 25 km day-hike. The only difference is that you're doing it 30 +/- days in...- ramble-on

Class of 2011
Hello all, Here it is January 2011 and I've started planning a walk from Le Puy to SJPdP. Actually, I'd love to walk as far as Pamplona, and will if time permits. Last year my wife and I had an amazing start to our pilgrimage - a beautiful day to walk from SJPdP to Roncevalles via the Route...- ramble-on

A prospective pilgrim in April-May
My wife and I will be 2 days behind you, also leaving from SJPdP. We plan to be in Santiago by mid-May so perhaps we'll meet somewhere on the trail. We got lightweight "three season" sleeping bags for our trip as we don't want to be cold, and also splurged on rain gear as it's not pleasant...- ramble-on

Pilgrim introduction
I agree with Laurie and Johnnie W. We're training it from Santiago to Madrid in mid-May and I was surprised to discover there are few or no seats on some trains (especially those departing during the day). We ended up booking the overnight train as a result, or my Spanish being what it is, we...- ramble-on

new to forum
Hi Neil, My wife and I will be 3 days behind you, starting from SJPdP as well. You'll find a lot of really useful information on this forum and people are really helpful in answering your questions. This is an exciting time leading up to departure - we're currently re-reading the guidebook...- ramble-on

Walking in April 2010 - Is it Doable?
Cecelia mentions stopping into the Pilgrim's Office in SJPdP for up-to-date information on the weather and feasibility of crossing the Pyrenees via the RN vs Valcarlos. Good advice and we will do so (would also like to pick up a list of algergues open for the 2010 season along the CF which I...- ramble-on

Class of 2010
We will be leaving SJPdP on April 14, hope to cross the Pyrenees via the Route Napoleon, but may have to cross via Valcarlos if the weather isn't cooperative. We're flying from Toronto to Boston for our connection to Paris, then taking the TGV to Bayonne the next day. We hope to then take the...- ramble-on

Walking with one's Spouse
I'm new to this forum, but I'm impressed with how much really good information there is in the various threads. I hope this isn't too inflammatory a topic :!: , but one thing I haven't seen much on is the pros/cons of walking with your wife/husband. I'm really looking forward to spending time...- ramble-on
