How can I link to the thread please to see who else maybe walking the Levante. Ta

Hopefully I am answering this question correctly: The list is on the first page of this thread. It has everyone who has responded to this thread. Contains mainly peregrinos doing Frances as it was originally started in the Camino Frances section. There may be a separate thread for other caminos. The calendar on this site does not have many entries for September 2016 but might have some walking Levante.

Welcome Vermont Pat. What a great time you are going to have with 5 of you travelling together. You are on the list.
 
I have added you to the list, marylynn. I guess that I have no need to tell you that you will have a fabulous time. Great day to start and I am sure you also know it is exactly 100 days to Christmas on your birthday. Buen Camino!
 
Hi nonami. Please adjust date from 9/22 (SJPdP) to 9/28 (SJPdP). Thank you.

Thanks for adding me to the list! I know I will have a wonderful time, as usual. I love the fall on the Camino and the meseta - I thought it was a good way to celebrate. I didn't know about '100 days to Christmas'--interesting little fact! Thank you!

Thanks Peter. This is my first. Have been dreaming and thinking about it for years but taking the time away from work for a long period was challenging. Making the time now. I am excited and apprehensive. Going solo. Folks in this forum have been great answering questions on how to get to St. Jean. Mary

Wow. Small world! I used to work with Marty's daughter -in-law. We have also known Marty for years. We chatted with him when he came back from his trip as we had already made the decision to do the Camino by then... You must have the camino bug, to be going out again? You will be a few days ahead of us, but perhaps we will meet up on the Way...buen Camino ....
