Hi Henri , we both begin with something different on Friday . You will begin your Pilgrimage to Santiago and I will begin voluntering in "de huiskamer van de lage landen " in Santiago.

Wish you a wonderful time and a Buen Camino , Peter .

Hello Peter!
Lucky pilgrims!
I also look forward to starting!
Needed to change some clothes as the weather is warming up, and I want to keep the weight of the rucksack as low as possible. Should be fine: the forum posts are most helpful.
Our paths will cross one day!

Hello LGY ... great to meet you. We are also going to enjoy Leon on the 7th and start our walk on the 8th. Staying at Covent Garden Hostel. I've read a few threads about catching a bus out of Leon to La Virgen del Camino to avoid a good bit of the Leon city exit which apparently can be challenging and starting the walk roughly 7 kms out of the city. Can anyone verify this? And then contemplate taking the scenic route to Villar de Mazarife and avoid the highway traffic. Hope to see see you along the path. Buen Camino.

Hi @Moj

Yeah, the walk out of Leon isn't the most beautiful. Funnily enough I was just looking into this for a friend. There's a bus that leaves from near the rail staion on Calle de Astorga. It leaves at 35 mins past each hour and is the "A1 Trobajo La Virgen" route and will take you to Virgen del Camino about 7km out of town.

Buen camino!

@Moj have a Buen Camino and look out for a girl in bright green jacket (me!).

 

[Moj]

Hi Dorpie...thanks so much with the bus info. I will likely be doing this. this is most helpful. Gracias!

 

[Moj]

Hi LGY, I'll be in a pink rain jacket if it rains or is windy. Green Talon backpack and with me a lady with a blue backpack. We'll look out for you. Buen Camino.
