Time of past OR future Camino
My sister and I will be walking Camino Francis Sept/Oct 2016
It's just over a week until we leave Melbourne to start from St Jean for our Camino. We are excited beyond belief and also a little nervous. There is hardly a day that has gone by in the past year when we haven't looked at the blog. So much wonderful information and so many wonderful people. Thank you all! Caroline and Hilary

We are a few days ahead of you!
We leave Melbourne Friday and expect to start walking from St Jean on 22nd.

Hi, we met one of you at Wilson Botanic a few weeks ago. We have postponed our planned Camino from March to September 2017 so will be very interested in how you find the walk at this time of year.
If you wish, please pop through an email to me at curts3011@gmail.com as we would love to catch up with you on your return, shout you a coffee and continue our chat. Take care and travel safely. Regards, Paul and Michaela.

Go sisters.
Go with an open mind.
Go with no expectations.
Go and enjoy everything that comes your way on the Way.

I start in Pamplona in 2 weeks, maybe I will run into you :) Buen Camino, enjoy!
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
@Camino sisters and @Trevor Batley the weather in Melbourne must be really bad!Keep us posted.
Absolutely miserable.
But the long range forecast for SJPdP & Roncevalles on the 22nd doesn't look so nice either.
But, the weather will be what the weather will be, so we will take advice from the Pilgrims office and enjoy what we have :)

Started today from St Jean ( 20th Sept) via Valcarlos which was plenty steep enough for good aerobic work out ... Staying overnight .... The weather is good for walking ... Cool overcast but no rain today ... I don't know about the high route but many went that way ... From what I can see in the weather next two days ok

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

Never trust long range forecasts .
It looks to be quite nice in SJPdP for the next few days.
We are currently in Paris and travel to SJPdP tomorrow, and go directly to Roncesvalles on Thursday. Just a day behind you.
We may meet along the way.

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.

Feeling the excitement vicariously.
Buen Camino to all and to all a good night's sleep!
 
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.
