Hi Everyone,
Just like to introduce myself...my name is Aidan and I'm from Ireland. Plans to do my first Camino journey in September. I'm really looking forward to it so much. Hope to meet wonderful and interesting people along the Way.

Preparing for your first camino is an incredible adventure. Read up, break in your shoes, test your pack and then, just enjoy the ride. Maybe I'll see you there as I should rejoin the Camino frances at Puente La Reina around September 15.

September will be a wonderful month to walk the Camino.
Ripe grapes in the vineyards, the crowds of summer gone home, although you will not be alone.
Glorious hot days, and cool evenings.

You will have the best trip of your life.
Buen Camino,
David, Victoria, Canada.

Hello Aidan ,

My friend and I started our Camino late September into October last year via Frances and there were still many pilgrims on the route. We had an amazing time experiencing the Camino through the people we met, the camaraderie's you build, the beauty of a country most people don't get to see. Make sure you have good comfortable broken in shoes,a light jacket for the cool nights, and the normal stuff... Just remember to pack light. You'll be surprised what people leave behind at the Albergue in Roncesvalles (our first night stop from St.Jean...).

As a part time pilgrim we are schedule to go back this September starting from Estella. Maybe we'll see you then. We cant wait...

Buen Camino,

Leaving Dublin on 18sept and staying in L'esprit du Chemin hostel in SJPDP. Begin the walk on 19th. This forum is great for info, help and advice...thank you all!
Buen Camino
