Australia and New Zealand Class of 2014

Hi

Hubby & I are from Sydney & planning to do our first Camino in either May 2014 or 2015, depending on work commitments.

Chris is currently 62 years and I am 57 years.

Any other from Australia planning their walks for the same time??
I did the Camino starting in SJPDP in May 2013. A couple of weeks later I met a couple from Port Macquarie, Australia and walked the rest of the way to Santiago. Absolutely delightful couple. I have their email if you wish to contact them! Semper fi. Paul

Hola Angelo, if you happen to be in Sydney on Saturday 7 June or 2 Aug the Sydney Pilgrims meet at the City of Sydney RSL club (up to 2nd story - its in George St just down from Liverpool St). We start around 12.00 for lunch and drinks. You will be more than welcome - just be prepared to meet a group of Camino Nuts. Here is a link to the web site

Hi Angelo,

Hope you can make it to our meeting next Saturday. There is a minor correction to Mike's information and that is that we'll be starting at 11.30am for new pilgrims.

The first part of the gathering is a general information session with question time. We then spread out so there's a mix of new and experienced pilgrims at each table. People generally move around during the gathering so that you have an opportunity to ask questions of a number of different people.

I second Kanga's opinion of the September weather. The September I walked, the weather was not only pleasant but very settled. However, I also enjoyed walking the Camino in June. We don't have any control over the weather so best just to take it as it comes. Obviously it is more pleasant to walk when it's not pouring rain, freezing cold or blistering hot but, once you've started, it doesn't seem to matter as much as you think it's going to.

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum, and looking to do just the last 100km this time around in September-October this year - I would love to do the whole thing but I just can't get the time off work for long enough. Just wondering if anyone was going to be there around the same time, and if anyone else could recommend some reading for me for background info!
 
And April/May and June/July! Every season has it's pleasures. Margaret Meredith has me seriously considering a winter Camino.

Finding a bunk in the busy season can be difficult. That's one reason I have always gone in late autumn/winter. It may be cold but there are plenty of bunks in those albergues that remain open!! Tempted? Read what others and I have written on walking in winter in this earlier Forum thread .
