I shall be setting out from Burgos on 2nd September and walking slowly towards Astorga. You will all probably pass me on the way. Look out for a slow English peregrina with a yellow/black mochila and a limp.

Hi guys, I'm Julie from China. I'll fly in to Biarritz on the 13th of September in the late evening, spend the night at Bayonne and go to SJPdP on the next day. So I guess I'll start the journey on the 15th of September. It would be great to meet pilgrims along the way.

Thanks for the thread, I'll be leaving SJPdP on the 21st of Sept for my second Camino. Not gonna race this one, stopping to smell the flowers and meet new people. Taking time to enjoy the trek and not rush from Hostel to Hostel is a big part that I didn't know I missed until I arrived back home in California. See you guys then eh?

Hello, my friend and I will be starting from SJPDP on August 8th, but I will be staying in the area around Pamplona from August 16 until August 30th. The remainder of my solo hike will be in September! I'm hoping to make it Finisterre by the end of the month, fingers crossed.

Welcome to the forum, Jenny Ray. I have put you down for 30th August from Pamplona as that seems to be the best entry for the list. I guess that you would be most likely to meet people on the camino who passed through Pamplona around that time. I am sure you will have an excellent time. Buen camino

Hi Steven, the weather is one thing we can't predict.
It's a nice periode off the year to walk the Camino, according to my wife anyway she walked the Camino in September 2013 .She had only about 3 days of rain.
Wish you a wonderful journey and a Buen Camino, Peter.

Wow! I considered beginning from Lourdes, but this is my first Camino and I was a bit nervous about finding my way, accommodations, etc. Is this your first Camino? Do you have any online resources for beginning from Lourdes that you could share? I would appreciate any info! Thank you!

Check out this earlier Forum thread for many links to sources re walking from Lourdes to Santiago.

Buem camino!
 
From Lourdes you can go to Oloron (three days) and then to Saint Jean Pied de Port and Roncesvalles; or turn left to Somport and Aragones. See guides in http://www.gronze.com/camino-piamonte (in Spanish) or http://vppyr.free.fr/ ) in French. Sorry, I don't know guides in English for this particular way.
The French Pyrenees are beautiful and have quieter ways, good before the more crowded experience of Frances (which, also, could be interesting).
 
I have put you down for St Jean at the moment. It is my second camino but first time for Frances. I see some very wise members have given you some links for starting at Lourdes.
For what it is worth, probably most first time pilgrims are apprehensive about many things. If one way is less worrying to you I'd chose that one. Buen Camino

Yes, my 1st Camino and a bit apprehensive, but when I first started looking seriously at this trip I wanted to include Lourdes and have just felt that the Aragones would be the best fit for me. The main reason to take the train to Oloron St Marie and start from there will be to save the 3 days in case I need them somewhere else along the way. Yes I've tried to research this and will forward any info that has not already been referred to by others.

Hi Sara- we now live in Sun City Center, south of Tampa. We spend our summers camping in Bellingham, MA to be near family. We are doing our best to train outside in the heat, but sometimes opt for the gym instead! We are stopping at Orrison on 9/20. Are you or are you walking straight through? Karen

Hi Karen, I'll be walking to Roncesvalles that first day. And I know what you mean about training in the heat--it's been pretty bad up here, too. But at least it inspires the practice of rising early to get some miles logged before it gets too oppressive. Is Orrison the only booking you have made thus far? -Sara
