First Camino - Cf September 2017

[Alain Belleville]

Hi everyone,

First Camino and I'm so excited!!! My flights are booked!!

I'm arriving at Biarritz on September 10th and stay there for the night. I take the train the next morning and I booked the Gite Ultreia for the night to spend some times in SJPDP during the day. I officially start my trip on September 12th but it will be a short day because I booked a bed at Orisson. After that day no more booking! I am glad that I found this wonderful website. There are so many inspiring stories and very good advice.

Buen Camino!

Hi, Alain....
I'll be arriving the next day, so perhaps we'll see each other there.

Alain, I'm one day behind you. Spending a night also at Orisson. I'm in no hurry and will be taking my time. Hope to meet you along the WAY.

Buen camino.

I think that the chances are pretty good to see each other on the way !!

I think it's a good idea to take our time... At the first, I wanted to take the last train on Sunday night to go to SJPDP and start right away the next morning. I decided to take the day off (Monday)… I think that it is better this way Hope to see you on the way!

Buen camino.

That's a good idea. The fatigue of travel and jet-lag can make a long walk even more tiring and less enjoyable. Best to be fully rested, fed, and hydrated as you start walking.

Hi Alain,

I'll be walking on the 26th September - you'll have to keep in touch and let me know your experiences of the parts you've done that I'll be about to do!

I went same time last year .... I had brilliant weather ....
surprisingly I met a Canadian Mounty as I climbed the Pyrenees from Valcarlos who it turned out is a forum member ....

Best advice .... don't have any expectations .... BE in each moment whatever it brings ....

It can be hot in September still so be prepared .

It's getting close and I am also excited and ready. I'm one day behind you, Alain. I have been training a lot in the hot weather of my home state of Virginia USA. Hopefully, I'm prepared for what is in front of me. Thanks Ultreia for the advice.

All this talk of departure dates.... I just realized that I'm wheels up in 21 days. Wow! It just seemed like it was 365 days not so long ago.

I also wich you an excellent camino. I am always happy for people walking any camino. It's always such a great and different experience for everybody. I am sure you're ready. I feel I am... and it's only a year from now!
Enjoy it and take the time to smell the flowers!

I can relate to that 365 now, as it's only next year for me. It's ok, as anticipation is also part of the process!
Buen Camino!

Yes I know!! I trained a little but not as I would liked. I'm in a good physical shape so it should go well! I hope we'll meet on the way!
