Greetings from a new member

[IvorL]

Greetings, one and all!

I am new to this site and so I thought I'd say a few words to introduce myself.

My name is Ivor and I will be walking the Camino frances in September of this year, starting at St. Jean-Pied-de-Port and finishing in Finisterre. Perhaps there are others out there who plan to begin at the same time? I have had the "knowing" I would walk the Camino since early 2005, but life kept getting in the way! Now it's imminent and so, with only three months remaining, the pressure's on to get in shape!

I am retired and one of the things I do in my spare time is coordinate the Winnipeg chapter of the Canadian Company of Pilgrims (http://www.santiago.ca/) so having actually made the pilgrimage will certainly be a benefit in that regard.

Peace & Love,

Ivor Lockhart
Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA

Hi Ivor, You may pick up this information while reading various posts. Also check out Camino Calendar at bottom left hand side of web page.

Thanks for your welcome, Annie! (I'm not sure how I reply to individual people, or if I even can.)

I really like your website ... and the fine music (especial Angel - it gets me every time)

You sure travelled light! I've got to cut back on what I plan to take, I think. One question, did you find that one 1-litre bottle was sufficient, or were there times you needed two?

Peace,

Ivor

Crackmrmac, thanks for the tip about the calendar. I can see that being a useful device.

Peace,

Ivor

Hello again Ivor,My short trips on the camino were in early July. I usually carried a minimum of 1l and perhaps a little more, refilling as I went along. Also most mornings I drank at least 500ml before i started walking.
I think you've posted your photo since my earlier visit.

Buen Camino.
