Hello all....just popping in to see if anyone is going to be on the Way around the same time as myself. I'll be flying into Madrid/Lisbon on Oct. 5th, spending a few days with some Israeli friends then thinking about taking a train from Lisbon to Porto on Oct. 8th (or 9th) and start walking. Going to do as much of the coastal route as I feel comfortable with doing.
I'll be blogging as often as internet access allows. Planning to use the CSJ Guide, various maps I've downloaded and photocopies of Brierley's maps (though I don't plan to take them too seriously). Hoping to arrive in Santiago around Oct. 19th or 20th, get my tattoo, then start making my way to Finisterre and probably a bus to Muxia to visit the Little Fox House before heading back to Porto for a few days before heading home via Madrid. Those are my tentative plans...I like to leave some flexibility for the inevitable stuff that comes up. I do know this: I am in much better condition this time around and my pack will be much lighter too!
Keep an eye out for the American with an Oregon ((Heart)) patch, APOC Patch and Camino Forum Patch on either my pack or my hat...I'll be sporting an Osprey Exos 34 backpack in a dark green color. And if all goes well, you won't hear me first...
