Buen Camino!
Tincatinker said:Sonas1951' welcome to this forum. Spend some time here browsing and you will see that many have found their Camino "family" as they walked rather than trying to establish a group in advance.
You say that you want to do a full Camino from which I'll presume your contemplating the Camino Frances from St Jean pied de Port. It is highly likely that you will make friends in St Jean and that by Pamplona you will be part of a fluid group all moving west with one destination in mind. It is unlikely that you will always walk together, each has their own pace, purpose and needs, but you will be in one of the suburbs of the greatest linear city on Earth - a village that moves together in some echo of transhumance.
And "ideally a pilgrimage"', many would echo that sentiment. But if you find you are simply starting out on an adventure you may find you are indeed on a pilgrimage long before the end.
Buen Camino
