My wife and I (i.e., Mary and Joe) plan to start our Camino Frances on May 13 from St. Jean.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
Could this be more easily achieved using the forum calendar? Everyone has access to that, or should have.
I plan on posting on the calendar as well, but find that listings such as these make it easy to see at a glance who is starting and from where. I guess one question would be whether access to lists such as these is more limited than the calendar.

I use both, but prefer the list.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc

Hey ... i intend to start late May or early June depending on flight bookings .... lets hope i will be able to meet some of you during the Walk ... this will be my first ..


Buen Camino to all!
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.

dougfitz .. I used the calendar in 2013/2014 while planning my Camino and really didn't get the "View" I though would be helpful . I felt the option to see who was going and when they were going and from where in a glance would be a benefit . I found that it was very helpful with my September 2014 Peregrinos thread . With my 2014 thread I was able to meet here on the forum Pilgrims that were leaving the same time as me and was able to meet them in person on the Camino . I heard from many on the list how this list helped them make new friends and hiking partners . Griffin57 started the September Pilgrims 2015 thread and it was extremely successful.

Look at the lists on these links below you can see what I'm talking about . The Calendar is good . This list is better in my opinion .

Reb tells me I am working at San Anton for the final two weeks of June. Knowing as I do that everything on the Camino is subject to change, at this point I am planning to start my Camino from Pamplona 2 June and then continue walking to Astorga early in July.
 
Leaving on my first Camino from St. Jean in May. Still waiting for my partner's official okay for leave from work so have no exact date as yet. Will let you know. So excited!!

Hello, I am planning to do the Camino Frances on my own in May but I am unsure of my start date.
 
Hi DeadFred! I'm new to this post. Joined today. I plan to do a solo walk starting from SJPP starting late May-early June. Date TBD. Well, this seals it! Typing these words on this forum gave me butterflies in my stomach.

Wow Luba ! How cool , you jumped right in! .. I have you on the list . btw ... butterflies are flying all over this forum

Plan to depart from St. Jean but I would like to make it a nice round number like 1000 km. The distance varies between people and sites, does anyone know exactly how long the Camino Frances is?

According the John Brierley, the Camino Frances is 790km - then you could make your way to Finisterre followed by Muxía and return to Santigo for another 200km - that's a total of 990km - I am sure you will be able to find a way to spend another 10km - Buen Camino!!
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc

Thanks SimLin! Sounds great, although I may tack on the extra 200 km to the beginning so that I get that real finale feeling in Santiago. Very excited to read more threads and get ready!

HI There mvanert! Same here , second time for me , also solo this time. I put you on the list :)
 
I'm starting later than most of you in September 17th 2016 or there about from St Jean. I have already mentioned this to friends and coworkers, so I can't back out now... Really looking forwards to do this. I read about a forum calendar, is this accessible by all?

Hi Christian , I too originally scheduled my second Camino for September but changed to May . I started a Sept/Oct 2016 list and am presently waiting on someone to take it over, until then I will continue to manage it . If you would like me to add you to that list I would be happy too

I'm also new to this post. Joined now.
I plan to do a solo walk starting from SJPP starting mid May. Date TBD.

Yes I will. :)
It depends on the airlines from the Croatian to Lourdes. When I saw that the airport in Lourdes closest SJPP, I decided that my Way kick off at Lourdes. In Lourdes I would have stayed two days. Afterward to Puyoo would go by train, and from Puyoo to SJPP I take a bus.
As you can see, the exact date depends on the few details, which now I have no influence.

I'll be six days behind you and also heading to Finisterre and Muxia! Maybe I'll see you? Or at least the back of your backpack in front of me.
Buen Camino!

May not fit your timeframe, but I leave Leon on April 16. Most everyone on the list will pass me on the Camino as I walk really slow. If any see a slow old man in a Tilly hat with treking poles, say hi as you pass me.

Hi there, well it's official. Plane tickets bought and after a few days in Madrid we plan to start walking 17 April from Leon, can you please add us Ottawa pilgrims to your list. Merci! Steve and Susan.

We will be a day ahead of you but plan for rest days so we may see each other. Also wearing a Tilley hat with trekking poles. Maybe we will see you on the way. Cheers!
