Griffin57 and I have agreed that she will keep track of the September 2015 walkers, and I will keep track of the October 2015 pilgrims in this separate thread. So, please post your details (start date and location) as replies to this thread and I'll add them to the original post at the top. Be sure to keep an eye out on the late-September list as well, since they might catch up with us!
Please, given the option I would much rather be on the October list than on the last day of the September list. These people will certainly be my camino companions as I walk through October and November. Can you arrange that?
Thanks so much! I like this better than the calendar

Haven't seen one John, feel free to start one if you wish? All credit for these lists goes to Deadfred! His idea last year.Is anyone doing this for the August pilgrims?

Welcome! As you can see, I've added you to the list. Since @Griffin57 has the first few days of October on her September thread, maybe she'll add you to that list as well, since many September departures will be passing through Villa Franca del Bierzo around the time you'll start. (Obviously we can't track of everyone's passage along the Camino over the month, but this seems quite obvious!)I start in Villa Franca Del Bierzo 10-5-2015
Hi all, my friend and I will start from Irun on the Norte on October 3. We only have one week off work this time, so we plan to make it to Bilbao, continuing next year. This is our first camino experience, and this forum has been a great help already. Thanks a lot!
Hi Beate , wish you both a wonderful journey. The plan for me is to do the Norte in 2017 and the Camino Portugu'es next year with my wife. Wish you a Buen Camino, Peter.Hi all, my friend and I will start from Irun on the Norte on October 3. We only have one week off work this time, so we plan to make it to Bilbao, continuing next year.

Hi Bala, wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.My husband and I leave St. Jean Oct. 6. Can't wait!
Hi Bala, wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.
I will add you to the list. If you change your dates, just let me know. Last year I started at SJPP on October 16. The weather was excellent, although it was VERY windy on Day 1 over the Napoleon route.I and a friend are hoping to begin our Camino on the 28th of October. We are hoping to begin in St. Jean but that will depend on the weather. Cannot begin to express how excited we are.
That IS a great start - delaying by a day shows you are flexible and not rushing things!I gave you the wrong date (great start, huh?
Are you going straight to Roncesvalles in one day?But our camino begins the next morning in St. Jean
Are you going straight to Roncesvalles in one day?
We're not going straight through, but I'm afraid I can't shed any light on Orisson. We're planning to go to Valcarlos, spending the night at one of the little hostels in/near the village. If it's a spectacularly beautiful day, though, Plan B is to hike up to Orisson, then taxi back to St. Jean for the night. Then taxi back up the next morning to go over the mountain. But that doesn't answer your question. Hope someone else can!
Do you have confirmed reservation for Orisson? If so, that gets almost to October, so the rest of us should be able to book soon. I've put you on the October list at the top.A friend and i are starting from St Jean on Sept 29th and staying at Orisson.
Hello , you will like the alberque Orisson . I wish you and your friend a Buen Camino , Peter .A friend and i are starting from St Jean on Sept 29th and staying at Orisson... So that pretty much puts us walking through October. Looking forward to meeting this big family aling the way.

Hi ---I haven't been, so am only repeating hearsay, but according to my research and queries, could be very sunny, but not as hot, and also, expect rain in Galicia. I understand that in October, it's best to come prepared for any weather.I've completed Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela on 16 June (26 days) and thinking of going again on 4 October to 30 October. Can anyone inform on what weather I could expect.
I've added you to the list. Maybe @Griffin57 will put you on the September list as well.I and a friend will be starting on Sept 30 from SJPP
meet you. I will spend the night of the 30th in SJPP, but will start walking the next day.Hi Cclearly - I and a friend will be starting on Sept 30 from SJPP. Training - going okay but need to find some hills!
I know how the weather was like in 2013 when my wife walked the Camino Frances. She walked fro september till half october and she had great weather .I've completed Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela on 16 June (26 days) and thinking of going again on 4 October to 30 October.

Hello and welcome, wish you all well and a Buen Camino, Peter.I'll be starting my camino October 3rd from SJPP with two other friends. We are so excited.
Hi Melisa, can't help you with the list but I wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.I plan to start in Burgos on October 18th.
Fly back on the 10th of November. I previously walked from SJPP to Burgos.
Also, where can I find an updated list of Albergues that will be open in October to November? I 've seen a lot of posts that the information is in the Pilgrims office in SJPP but I don't plan on starting there in October. Thanks.
Hi - I've added you to the first post. I'm not sure where you can get an updated list. I have one from 2014 that I got in SJPP. If no one else responds with one, I could scan it for you.where can I find an updated list of Albergues that will be open in October to November?
Hi - I'm bumping this thread so newcomers won't miss it. If you are planning to start the camino any date in October, just post your start date and location below, and I will add your name to the list by editing the post at the very beginning of the thread. (Lists quoted in later posts won't be up-to-date, so check back to the first one for the latest version.)
My training is non-existent at the moment due to my healing stress fracture, but I endlessly tweak my equipment and supplies.
How is your training and preparation going?
C clearly:Hi - I've added you to the first post. I'm not sure where you can get an updated list. I have one from 2014 that I got in SJPP. If no one else responds with one, I could scan it for you.
Yes, it is getting close enough that the agenda is becoming more specific. My training has been very disciplined and focused. Unfortunately it involves ZERO walking except around the house and yard, and parking lots. I am 5 weeks into a 6-8 week rest for my stress fracture. On August 5 I visit the podiatrist and talk about orthotics and how to avoid future stress fractures. (Notice that I didn't say anything about asking if it is OK to walk the camino.) I think my foot is substantially better - I have no pain but I still "notice" the ball of my foot if I walk barefoot on a hard floor. I wear my camino-crocs around the house for that reason, and that cheers me up. I am going to stroll 3-4 km this Friday on an expedition to buy a new sleeping bag (hurray) and meet up with some former colleagues who are not lucky or old enough to be retired like me.It's on the agenda.

From August 3 I will have 10 weeks to train before departure. It is what it is.
I have finished my new camino bag (for phone, guide, notebook, pencil, daily cash, credential) - truly a masterpiece, if I do say so. It weighs 75 g, and I think I could do it a bit lighter next time. (Yes, I have no doubt there will be a next time for making bags, too.)

C clearly:
There are certainly challenges involved in preparing physically for a camino. I started brisk walking in the spring, walking about 45 min. to work every day. This caused the recurrence of various chronic lower leg problems, so I quit extra walking and concentrated on improving the condition of my knees and lower legs. The main result of this was the development of plantar fasciitis, which has hung around for a month now with very little improvement, in spite of stretches and icing. But I have a plan. In September, only 18 days before I leave for my camino, I am going into the mountains for a ten day hike. Hopefully, the plantar fasciitis will have disappeared, or eased off, by then and I shall be able to test my strength and endurance in the mountains and prepare my spirit for my walk. In the meantime, I continue to do exercises, avoid long walks, and live in hope that all will be well for my camino. Like you, I do not even consider not going, but I take the best care of myself that I can. I hope for a wonderful camino for both of us.
Hi - I've added you to the first post. I'm not sure where you can get an updated list. I have one from 2014 that I got in SJPP. If no one else responds with one, I could scan it for you.
It says, for example, `open from March to October` (in French). However it doesn`t say whether that is the beginning, middle or end of the month. Others say "Open all year" although I remember last year finding one such albergue that was closed just for one week, that week in Oct-Nov that I passed through.Does your list have days of when the albergues close?

Welcome. You will enjoy that walk from Sarria! There will be lots of people on the path. You can look at the September list and see who might be catching up with you - those who start in mid-September from St. Jean, for example. It sounds like your training is going well. I am in my first year of retirement and enjoying it thoroughly!I'm planning to start in Sarria on October 16
Hi, you will enjoy the walk to Santiago. It's a nice part of the Camino to walk . I wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.Thank you for creating this thread because I am new to the pilgrimage. I'm planning to start in Sarria on October 16 and hesitated to post because I'm only doing a shorter walk than most.
Still, I appreciate knowing that someone is aware of my plans because I'll be traveling alone. I plan to only walk 7-8 miles each day and to enjoy the culture and history along the way. I'm recently retired and hope that this walk gives me a sense of clarity about my future as I'll celebrate my 65th birthday on the Camino.
I'm currently walking 5 miles/day with an 8 mile walk on the weekend. I plan to add the backpack and walking poles in September but right now it's very hot here in Florida.
Last year, I left SJPP in mid-October, but had to leave at Sahagun for family reasons. This year I'll try again. I thought the number of pilgrims was perfect - enough for company when you wanted, but no "crowds". Some albergues are closed but there are enough open, as long as you leave some flexibility in your schedule.I am considering walking this October as well. I wonder if it is still very busy during this period and if many of the refugios will be closed at this time.
Hi Alex, in October is it not that busy anymore. Wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.Hi,
I am considering walking this October as well. I wonder if it is still very busy during this period and if many of the refugios will be closed at this time.
Thanks for any help, I will continue to browse online to see if I can find out more.

I see you have walked before, but I presume it was at a different time of year.
Excellent! Thank youHi Alex, in October is it not that busy anymore. Wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.
Beautiful dog!!Hi, I'm hoping to start the Ruta del Ebro at Sant Jaume d'Enveja on October 13. My dog keeps me in training up the fell, but sadly won't be coming with me.

I was looking for this info as well. I found the website for the Pilgrim's office in SJPP and here is their contact info:
http://www.aucoeurduchemin.org/spip/spip.php?article2740
I can't find the info on the site, but will write to them to see if they have a list they can send. I'll post the info here if they have it.
Hmm. I wonder if they were referring only to lodgings in SJPP.all lodgings remain open during the September to November period
Hmm. I wonder if they were referring only to lodgings in SJPP.
I'm quite sure that not all albergues on the Camino from SJPP to Santiago will be open to the end of November. I specifically asked @Rebekah Scott on this thread about the San Anton albergue and she said they will close at the end of September.
The 2014 list from the Pilgrim's Office in SJPP had about 200 albergues listed, with about 20% indicating a closure by the end of October. I doubt that they have all changed. The 2015 list available on this forum site (under Resources) has twice as many albergues listed, but does not include information about whether they close in the fall.
Thanks for letting us know what you find out,
Only if you want to guarantee a place there. I don't know what your chances would be on that date, without a reservation.Do you have to have a reservation at Orisson?
@Griffin57 and I have agreed that she will keep track of the September 2015 walkers, and I will keep track of the October 2015 pilgrims in this thread. So, please post your details (start date and location) as replies to this thread and I'll add them to the original post at the top. Be sure to keep an eye on the late-September list as well, since they might catch up with us!

If you take the route through Valcarlos you would be able to make the decision to stay over in Valcarlos, once you get there. That route is supposed to be lovely as well.
You just ask the hosts at the place you are staying in SJPP, or I suppose in the Pilgrim Office too. You will need to put a label on your bag, put 8 Euros or so in an envelope, and leave it for pickup. At least, that's what I did last year. It is a daily occurrence between all towns on the camino so it will be easy to arrange.For the option to send some of our belongings ahead of us - do we do that in SJPDP? And how do we arrange it?
Hi, when you stay at the albergue Orisson you will have a great time, it's a nice place. I wish you a Buen Camino, Peter.AlbertaGirl and NiniSum - you will be our walking partners starting on September 30! Can't wait to meet our fellow pilgrims. This is our first Camino so I am happy to see at least one veteran.
Have you made reservations at Orisson, or are you planning to go for Roncevalles? (Moral support would be welcome if we decide to do the latter.)
I have been faithfully following MSPATH's recommendations for months now - I am so impressed with your 11 Caminos!
I'll start walking on 1 Oct, and will spend that night at Orisson. Bet I could catch up to you at some point! Say hi---to Deb with the red Deuter pack and the Pilgrim's Forum patch!Hi Griffin, I will start from SJPP on 28 September. WOuld you please add my name on the list? Would love to be able to meet and walk within sight of other pilgrims. Thank you so much for this initiative
