Looking for walking companions

First camino for me.
Hi all,
I'm walking from Roncesvalles to Santiago between 18th July and 14th August 2015 and I'm looking for walking companions. It's my first camino (in training already) I'm British and will be on my own (I'm 35). Is there anyone out there who is planning a similar trip and would like to do some days or a stage with me? If so do get in touch (I promise I don't talk too much...)

Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
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.

Hola, Rachel!

These days such a sincerity is hard to find :D
Sorry, I can't help you really because I'll start walking from Valencia on Camino de Levante on Monday (June (th), but will be in Santiago somewhere at the end of July and will go on to Muxia & Fisterra. If you want to join at that point you're more than welcome!

Ultreia!

PS (Put your starting date in the Forum Calendar. That might help.)

Hi Rachel.

I'm just completing my first Camino from St Jean to Santiago.

I wouldn't worry too much about organizing walking companions. You'll find dozens of suitable candidates every day!

And they will find you..... :)
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
You might start off alone but you won't have to stay that way very long. You will meet people, walk with them, lose them, meet new friends, meet the old ones, etc
 
Hi Rachel
Once you are there and walking you are going to meet some of the most friendly sociable kindest people than you ever dreamed of. Relax, let it happen, and enjoy the Camino!
Buen Camino
 
See Cailin O Erie in the other post above:
"This is just a general post so I'll keep it short and sweet. Firstly, I left Ireland on my own to walk this stretch of the camino, nervous and excited. I wasn't alone for long I met others at the airport and then more in Saint Jean and we soon became a camino family. I never felt alone or afraid and I enjoyed learning a few bits of Danish from my Danish walking comrades and some American lingo from Anny the Taiwanese/American lady and the Dublin lingo from Brian. So that is just for those who may be nervous about setting out on this journey alone, you wont be alone. I can't recall a section of the path without others in front of behind. It's really busy...
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Don't worry, after you begin your journey there are many people on the same wayas you . You will make lots off new friends along the way, you will walk with them and talk with them. Wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.
