I am sure you will find all kinds of fellow walkers Andrew. Take a look at the front page of this site (or somewhere around here), and you'll come across a calendar. If you haven't already, post when you're going and you might see how others will be doing the same.
Extremely excited for you already. Your Camino has begun. You'll never be alone on the Way.
Hey Andrew
The Confraternity of St James is based in London. You don't have to be a member to go along to their practical pilgrim day on 23 February or to the office open days - every Thursday I think, as well as some Saturdays (for which dates tbc). If you go to the practical pilgrim day there'll probably be around a hundred others thinking about or planning their camino. September is a popular time so you may well meet others planning to start around the same time as you.
