October 2013 Camino

[Marilee McGrath]

Hi. I am starting the Camino from St. Jean Pied de Port on October 9th. Not entirely sure what I am doing....or why I am doing it, but excited! I am from Colorado, 46 years old. I would welcome any advice/help. Thank you!

Hi Marilee, Welcome
Congratulations on choosing to walk the Camino.....also walking my first Camino in Sept/Oct! You will find all the help and advice you need here. I'm not really sure why I am doing the Camino either.....and I'm letting go of the idea of 'why'. All I know is that its happening real soon and I am both nervous and excited as departure day approaches.

Buen Camino
Aidan

Welcome Marilee,

I'm also planning to arrive in early Oct. It seems there are quite a few of us unsure as to how things might unfold. But herein lies the beauty... I'm only hoping that I'll be open enough to be in the moment during my journey.

Bon Camino

Hi Marilee, my name is Rhonda and I'm from Australia. I am starting in St Jean on either the 2nd or 3rd of Oct. I'm excited and nervous (because I'm going it alone) and not totally sure why I'm doing it either.... I hope I meet you on the trail!

Thanks for the like. It's becoming more 'real' for me & in all too sane a way is fitting in across all aspects of my life. Finally - something positive about midlife

Hi Rhonda,

I'm from Melbourne & will be leaving around the 6th October. Hope I'm fit enough to catch up & share. I'm glad to see many leaving around the same date. The more souls we encounter the more chance we grow.

Bon Camino!

Is there any company or individuals who would transfer backpack from SJPdP to Roncesvalles to lighten one's load over the mountains on the very first day ??

Hi mrsmac, I arrive in St. Jean on the 2nd of Oct. and plan to set out the next day. I'm going it alone as well for my 40th birthday and am slightly nervous about it. Would love to be in touch with other women traveling alone! Best, amanda

I'll arrive in SJPdP late tomorrow Mon 2nd and if I can arrange all the admin etc I will start Tues 3rd, if not then I start Wed 4th .. I've arranged to get half my luggage ( 5k approx) carried over the Pyranees on the first day only.. I'm a retired Irish engineer in my early 60's in no particular rush, it's not a race... I only have a one-way plane ticket and will complete my Camino whenever. .. I am anxiously looking forward to the challenge and expect to meet some very interesting people over the next 5 or 6 weeks..look for a bearded Irishman !!

At this stage the plan is the Tunnel route and join you in Burgos at some stage. Hope to meet you on the road.
I'm 40 from the Gold Coast Australia and excited for this opportunity.
