Hello all. Anyone starting in early April? I will arrive in StJPP on March 31st, 2016 and plan on heading out April 1st, probably the Valcarlos side, as Orrison emailed me and said I would need to call them the day before I leave to see if they are open, and I don't think my brain will be ready to be spontaneous on my first day out !!

Hello, I will be starting in Logrono on the 16th of April but you may be well past there by the time I start. I will keep an eye out for you in my travels tho.:)
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Hello, I look forward to seeing you along the way. If all goes well I will arrive in SJPP on March 30. I am waiting to see what the weather sends to decide which trek from SJPP to Roncesvalles, but perhaps we will run into each other. Buen Camino!

True for me , too. Are you traveling solo? Yes, perhaps we will cross paths! Buen Camino!!

Hi we will arrive in SJPP on the 30 March, and had planned to walk to Orisson on the 31st. But it is news to us that Orisson might not be open. Does anyone else have info on this - are we too early? We really want to walk over the top!
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Orisson is only open if the 'high road' over the pyrenees is open, which makes sense if you think about it. As for 'We really want to walk over the top!' Please take the weather/snow situation in account, what you want isn't always what is right for you. Buen Camino, SY
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Hi Gypsy
April 2 my wife and me will arrive at Pamplona to start from there april 3.So for you all *buen Camino* and maybe we will share a meal along the way Who knows !! :)
 
Hope to see you on the way! We're leaving from Saint-Jean on March 30th. Buen Camino!
 
This is so exciting. I´m heading out from SJPDP sometime around 5-6 April. Getting closer and closer. Looking forward to seeing Spain and the camino frances route again.
Well, let's look for each other. IA m starting to worry about not hearing from ANYONE that is actually starting the same time as me. Am I going too early? Well, it's done, if the weather is too bad, I will just hang out somewhere. So, your a veteran of the Camino Francis? I hope I do see you, I am 1st time, and solo!!
Buen Camino

Hi Gypsy

The vast majority of people who walk the camino have never never accessed the forum or even heard of it, so don't worry that other people may not be leaving when you are. You will have company.

Be brave. Life is joyous.

With Easter early this year you will have plenty of company on the way, no need to worry. Buen Camino, SY

Hi Gypsy, I'm planning on leaving SJPDP on the 02 Apr, hoping to stay at Orisson if it is open, if not we will head around the other way.
 
ezbeer, what was the weather like when you walked last April 2015? I'm thinking of starting in Pamlona around mid April.

There's a new thread up about the Napoleon route being officially closed until April 1st. After that, it's weather-dependent. I'm booked into Orisson on April 18th, depending on weather. Hope to see some of you there or in Roncavalles!
