Hi There. I'm doing the Frances from SJPP, arriving Sep 18 and starting 19/20, depending on my ability to get a reservation at Orisson. If you decide to start from SJPP again, I'd at least LOVE to talk to you and benefit from your experience. I'm a first timer and an 'old dog' learning new tricks.I have a few weeks spare, starting mid-September.
Would love to spend it on a camino. Did the Frances last year, and in May this year I did walked from SJPP to Burgos with my wife (we'll be back next May to do some more). I love the Frances or do I pick a different one?
Which camino would people choose to do starting about Sept 18/19? Which one is likely to have the best e.g. warmest/dryest weather? - would really like a decent chance of some pleasant, at least (!), weather.
Cheers

Don't know how much time you have ,but would recommend The Camino de Madrid. Check the forum and you'll find lots of nice comments about it...
Hi
Be adventurous!
Walk the Rota Vicentina http://en.rotavicentina.com/
Then bus up to Porto, and walk from there to Santiago.

Hi Jill
The Rota Vicentina looks fab
A few quick questions:
What's the weather like at that time of year?
What's the terrain like - mainly off road I presume? Hilly?
How do you get to the start?
Yes, that was definitely one of the optionsI don't know how much time you have exactly but your starting date would be a great one for the Vía de la Plata. If you can't walk it all this time, you could continue another year from wherever you end this year...
You will be just behind myself and a friend, also 'old dogs'! We start on 17th and have already made a reservation at Orisson.Hi There.

Hi
If you are relatively fit, I would also recommend the Primitivo. I walked in Sept/Oct 2014 and it was a wonderful experience. I started in Irun on del Norte as I had plenty of time. Alternatively you could walk a section of the Northern Route. I found both routes wonderful. BTW I will be walking from St Jean leaving on 17 September and walking for 12 days. Buen Camino
We had mixed weather but it was still a wonderful experience. It would be my first choice if I had your dilemma. It is really beautiful and interesting. I was fairly fit when I started walking the northern coastal route and after about 2 weeks walking to the Primitivo, I felt strong.Fitness is good - live in the Lake District so lots of hills. Had been considering Primitivo but not sure what potential weather conditions would be like

I 've read quite enthusiastic reports on the camino de invierno (peregrina2000 and others) so this would make a nice combo : madrid-sahagun (camino de madrid) sahagun-ponferrada (CF) ponferrada-SDC (camino de invierno)
How does it sound ?
Yes...how about a Madrid/Salvador/Primitivo combo?Primitivo from Oviedo (and 4-6 previous days on the Salvador from Leonto Oviedo if you have the time) is a great "short" option. It's a beautiful camino. I have walked it in late September and loved it.
You doing the Frances this time?You will be just behind myself and a friend, also 'old dogs'! We start on 17th and have already made a reservation at Orisson.

Will watch for you on 22 th .Will be leaving from beside Orisson that morning.We are starting the 22nd and have already reserved space at Orisson. It will be four of us, my wife and myself, our daughter and her husband and it is our first Camino albeit our daughter and son-in-law did it for a short trek last year and it lit the fire in them to return. I have a good feeling about a September start for our journey. We are also celebrating our wedding anniversaries respectively. My wife and I ... 46 years ; daughter and her husband their 14th.
We will enjoy the cooler weather only because we get enough of the hot weather in Florida throughout the year, it will be a refreshing change. We are excited, I think we will find out a lot about ourselves during the course of our journey. We are leaving all electronic devices at home, this alone should be a cleansing experience. We wish all Buen Camino and hope we can meet some if not all of you along the way !
Hopefully, the timing will be right and we can all meet ! I know from our daughter and her husband's experience, which was only for 10 days, they not only became part of a small Camino family that for the ten days trekked together, but made lasting friendships as well.Will watch for you on 22 th .Will be leaving from beside Orisson that morning.
