Newcastle NSW Camino de Santiago past, present or future?

[jaylynn37]

Hi All

Just wondering if anyone lives in Newcastle NSW or close surrounds who is planning on doing the walk or has done the walk? I would love to catch up and have a talk? I am planning my trek for Sept/Oct next year.

Cheers
Jay

Hi Jay

I sent you a private message a couple of days ago, but you may have missed it. I will be visiting the Hunter Valley next week to see our new grandchild, and will be staying at Cessnock. If you are able to come over I would be happy to have a chat. What hours would suit you best? We are staying in the Youth Hostel in an en suite double, which my wife finds very basic, but is absolute luxury compared to most albergues!

Hi Alan

Nice to hear from you. I have a lot of questions. My aim with my post was to find out if there were any other people in the Newcastle/Central Coast area who would like to meet as they do in Sydney. At the moment you were the only post. Can we leave it this time as I hope like to see if I can get a group together for on going meetings. My trip is planned for Sept/Oct next year. I will stay in contact with you. Thanks again for replying. Maybe u can be a guest speaker!@ smile.

Cheers
Jay

Hi Jay

Good luck in getting a local group together for your area. More and more Aussies are going to Spain each year, and hopefully there will be some from around Newcastle in the near future. You know where to find me if you have any urgent questions.

I bumped into a small group of walkers on my last Camino, if I remember correctly they belonged to a walking club from NewCastle?

Hi Jay,

I just joined the forum tonight. I am planning on walking the Camino in 2014. I live in the Newcastle area and would definitely love a group to form where we can compare plans and learn from others. I really only made my mind up two weeks ago to do the trip, so I am in the very early stages of planning.
Best wishes,
Karen.

G'day All,

My name is Joe and I live in Seaham.

Planning to do the Camino in 2015 for my 50th.

Would love to meet up with others in the Newcastle Region who have done it or wanna do it.

Hooroo for now.

Did you get any further with any meet ups for Newcastle / Hunter people interested in the Camino de Santiago? Given the post dates you three have probably already walked. I am planning and would be interested in a group closer to home than Sydney (I am in Maitland)

Andrew, neither @Pumbaa25 nor @jaylynn37 have been on the forum since early 2013. You could try sending them a PM, but I doubt you will get a response here.

Hi Andrew - My husband and I walked the Camino in 2014. We are from HOLMESVILLE and hope to do another walk in 2018 - 40th wedding anniversary.
