Hello KristinaIs anyone starting their Camino Frances from SJPdP on May 24? I'm going alone and worried that I'll be the only one starting that day. Never done anything like this before. Wondering if I should join a tour after all. Looking for reassurance...
Thank you!

I'm sure there will be a lot of fellow pilgrims starting that day with you and some days you will think there are too many, ha ha.
This may be a surprise to some reading this, but most of the people who walk the Camino are not members of this forum.
and no offense to any of the tour operators out there, but my best advice is DO NOT join a tour group....Hahah, good point.
I agree.....don't join a touring group unless you have to. For some this might me the only option.....if so....absolutely go for it. I honestly thought about it last year. Just because the "unknown" made me think about it. Not physical or other limitations. So glad we didn't. Example. While we were just sitting admiring the amazing views (this was a day between Villafranca and O'Cebreiro and we decided to take the alternative "Duro" route......SO beautiful. )We walked into a tour group of 10 people......they had to keep up with each other and the guide so rushed through all.....while we just took our time and soaked in the views and yes....we even yodeled (poorly though ) ha ha (when no one was around) I mean...where can/do you do that ???Thank you, forum members! Feeling a million times better. And excited. See you along the way.....

I will be leaving sjpp that day as well!Hello Kristina
I am leaving from Toronto On May 24 and will start on my own from SJPP on the morning of May 26. I am hoping to average 28km a day to Santiago so if you are the same I will never catch up but if slower maybe so!
I expect a good number to be starting that day and if you stop for a coffee at Orrison 8km from SJPP you will probably have made friends with a few others when ready to move on, and that is only after the first 8km. So I would have no worries about traveling alone because there will always be someone just up ahead or not far behind you.
ArleneI will be leaving sjpp that day as well!
Flying out from heathrow on the 25th as well....what time do you land? I've reserved a room in Biarritz as I thought I might be too late to get to Bayonne...Me too. Flying from Heathrow on the 25th and staying overnight in Bayonne.
