Looking for Pilgrims!

[Nandy61]

Hey folks! I walked the CF this past June and July. I finished in Santiago on the 13th of July. Walking in with us that day (and for several days earlier) were three wonderful travelers: Kath and Lynn from Australia and Steve from New Zealand. Kath and Lynn went to school together when they were young. Lynn and Steve married and live in NZ now. I'd say they were in their early 60s (based on their kids' ages- not their energy levels!) When I returned from Santiago, my son decided I needed to upgrade my IPhone to the new 4.0 software. It wiped out all my contacts! Old and new. And of course, all my new Camino contacts. You can imagine my angst. I was wondering if anyone knows those three charmers and has their contact info. I know they were on here before they left downunder as they mailed packages to Ivar (as did I) and picked them up on the 13th of July. Hmmm, maybe Ivar knows them?
Thanks in advance!
Nancy

Nancy,

A suggestion!
Do the camino again and get a new list of camino friends. :mrgreen:

Your friendly,
Jean-Marc

Ha! Jean-Marc! Don't think that my next Camino isn't already in the planning stages!

Nancy,

Mine is also in the planning for next fall.

This time from Prague, across Germany and then France.

I'll spend winter in Spain again this year (no walking) and will not be allowed in Europe for six months after March, according to the Schengen agreements.

Wishing you god speed,
Jean-Marc

Hi Jean Marc, I am planning a LOOONG walk / pilgrimage of which part is from Prague. I am starting to plan now because I won't be doing it for another 4 years, but I need to do things like find a way to stay for longer than 90 days in the Schengen states and I am tipping that it will take me that long to organise! My plan will mean that I will be in Prague in the late autaum / early winter and I am trying to figure out a way to get to Paris where I can go around, or alongisde, the mountains - rather than over them (which won't be a good idea in mid winter!) Where are you planning to go from Prague? I have got all the info I need to come down from Olstzyn in Poland, but it seems the German part is the tricky bit thus far. Any words you have would be appreciated. (I am planning to walk for a year, and, at this stage - though it is early days - end up in Santiago via the Paris route, and be a winter pilgrim on the CF). Regards, Janet

Hi! Janet,

I have some info on the Caminos in Germany.

I am on a road trip across Canada right now and won't be back home before November. I'll see what I can dig out of my laptop and feed you that ASAP.

I suggest we use PM's to do that and not steal Nancy's post.

Cheers for now,

Jean-Marc

Hey Canuck,

I find it fascinating to read about both the planning of and walking of (thank you Lovingkindness!) of such long-distance Caminos. Perhaps you could start a new thread to post your tips to Janet so that others might share? If you don't mind...
