Great that you created this thread. Personally, I d be happy to walk with someone even if I am not on CF, but as you kknow something has been reported in Escamplero few days ago. So in order not to spoil themagic, I hope someone will be on the Primitivo on 23.

Love to all

Thank you Viranani for creating this thread. I'm leaving on July 4th. I too would like to walk with someone over the next 7 days to reach Santiago on the 10th.
 
I depart from St Jean on 31st of May but only travelling as far as Estella happy to walk with others. Arriving St Jean on the 30th.
Let's try not to let fear interfere with what could potentially be a beautiful life changing experience. I remain positive, and hope before we depart the culprits will be caught.
Buen Camino and hopefully see ye there.

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
I am leaving St. Jean on May 28th. I'm still waiting to hear back from Orisson regarding staying there that day. I would love to walk with others and am very comfortable walking in silence if you're just looking for walking buddies. While I think it's prudent to be mindful, I still think we can all have a very peaceful, enjoyable Camino.

I have a stay in Bizkarreta on June 22nd and will either start on SJPDP on 23rd or stay the night there and start on 24th. Happy to walk with anyone.

Buen camino!
 
Hi everyone, im starting on wednesday from ponferrada. Will arrive at 6am and im a bit scared now because of all i read. Would love to join to some group if possible. What time do most pilgrims start walking in the morning?

Start times vary. My suggestion is go to the main hostel in the town, strike up a conversation and ask if you can join a group of pilgrims starting out from there.
 
Join our full-service guided tour and let us convert you into a Pampered Pilgrim!
There will be five of us somewhere between Ponferrada and Villafranca on the 27th May if this helps anyone (obviously this is 30km after Rabanal ) but a lone walker would be welcomed.
 
First post, and first Camino, and essentially first long walkabout.
Leaving Stockholm 23rd or 24th of August and
planning to start the Camino in SJPDP the 25th of August.
Anyone is welcome to join.

I emailed Orisson the second time in French (copy and pasted translation) and received an answer within 48 hrs....it's seems to make a difference?

The Brierley book puts it at about 21 days, but a steady pace might make it sooner than that. Josh and I will be starting on the 11th of June from Sahagun, which is the halfway point on the Camino Frances.

I hope we do run into one another. It would be a pleasure to walk with you. We'll keep an eye out.

Josh and I both have green Osprey backpacks. Mine has the blue Camino Forum patch glued to it . . . . unless it falls off like the other patches did.

A proud uncle just has to brag. Josh runs track for his High School. His mother just called and said that his 4X200 relay team just took the Gold Medal in the Maryland State Championships.
 
And you're walking with him!? :eek: Well, if he needs some slowing down, you can just have him carry lunch and all the water. :D
(But, wait...he's an Eagle scout. He'll probably volunteer before you can ask.)
Eagle scout, gold medalist, probably pretty smart too, I bet. Congrats, proud uncle...you have every reason to be.
A very buen Camino to you both...I hope you have a grand journey! (And this time, may there be a convivial crowd at the Tertulia!)

Yeah, he's pretty smart also. He's been accepted to Marist University starting this fall.

We definitely will stop by Tertulia to see who is "hanging" there. I hope it will be almost as much fun as we all had there together back in April.. I'll have a beer in your honor.
 
Thanks, Durhamparish! When you're there I'll be staying a monastery in Ladakh (and will probably be thinking of the Tertulia with nostalgia. I am not Tibetan, and do not like butter tea!:confused:;))
 
For those on the Frannces who may be concerned right now about having company between Astorga and Rabinal...anyone walking who wants or can offer company?
My wife and I are currently on the Camino France's, staying in Atapuerca tonight, and Burgos tomorrow night. Our goal is The End of the World by late June. Feel free to approach us. Just look for the 2 Aussie flags and Camino arrows on our packs.
