Hi Camino friends! I am planning a May 5, 2023 start date for the Frances route and can hardly stand the wait! Watching airfare prices from Oregon to Paris April 29. I can’t wait to meet you all! Buen Camino!

Hello, fellow Pilgrim! My granddaughter and her boyfriend and I are also planning to start the Frances in early May, around the 10th. We may meet up with you along the way. This will be their first and my third Camino. At 79, I’ll be hoping for decent weather and continued good health! Buen Camino from Caminoguy!

I started on 12th May this year - whilst weather changes year by year it was hot, so hot that I was starting before dawn (such a lovely lady ) and finishing very early in the afternoon. Reading this forum some pilgrims didn't make it so keep well hydrated, use sunscreen, and a wide-brimmed hat.

26/27 May Start
Hi All:
What a cool way to find support and encouragement! My plan is to start around 27May.
Did my VERY first training hike yesterday, (9October)...it was ummm...well....tough. Right now I cannot imagine hitting 25-30 km per day for 35 days. I guess that's why I'm training! I have included a turn around at my local winery, so that is great training incentive!

Please check in with me should you be starting at the end of May, early June!

I start walking on the 4th after two nights in SJPP (Valcarlos route to Roncesvalles!)
