SEPT '07 PILGRIM

[Eagle]

HELLO PILGRIMS -

I WILL BE STARING THE CAMINO FROM RONCESVALLES SEPT 6 0R 7 DEPENDING ON HOW I RECOVER FROM JET LAG. I HOPE TO REACH SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA BY 10 OCT (MY 60TH BIRTHDAY). IN 2003 I WALKED 1000 MILES ON THE APPILACHIAN TRAIL. IT IS MUCH DIFFERENT HIKING ON THE CAMINO BUT MAYBE SOMETHINGS I LEARNED ON THE AT AND SOME OF THE LIGHT GEAR I HAVE WILL SERVE ME WELL.

IF ANYONE IS LEAVING ABOUT THE SAME TIME I AM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

BUEN CAMINO, EAGLE (AT TRAIL NAME)

Hi Eagle.
I will be walking from SJPP on the 18 or 19th of Aug and expect to take it easy. Maybe you will reach me at some point. I hope to reach Finisterra by the 8th or 9th.
Have fun
Lillian :wink:

Hi Lillian,

Do you mean 8th/9th of September or October at Fisterra? If you are going to take it easy, I doubt if you can walk the distance in less than a month, unless you'll skip a section. Walking SJPP-Fisterra 18 Aug to 08 Oct would be fun though!

Hello Eagle,

I begin my Camino (with my sister in law - Elizabeth) on August 4th from Le Puy. If all goes well we should be leaving Roncevalles around the 5th September. We plan to have a rest day in Pamplona and then I will go on to SdC alone. May see you on the path.

Best wishes. Janet

Hello! Maybe I meet you? I start from St Jean Pied de Port with my mother the 6th september, so we hopefully come to Roncesvalles in the afternoon that day.

If we don't meet:
Buen camino!

 

[MermaidLilli]

OOPS!! Yeah, Mark... that would be in October, so yes, I will get to go easy. Hope to make new acquaintances, friends, experiences without feeling rushed to get to the end.
I will take a little detour to Bilbao to meet the mother of a woman here in Tally whose baby I caught and who wants to thank me by making some regional foods. I could not pass that up!! Still, that gives me plenty of time on the Camino. GAWD!! I cannot wait!!
:lol:

Lillian,

When you're in Bilbao don't forget the Museo Guggenheim. And get a 'sello' from the Catedral de Santiago at the Casco Viejo. If you're carrying an AUJ (Accreditacion Universidad Jacobea) credencial you can get sellos from the 2 university campuses in town.

Hello Nellas,

The Camino works in odd ways sometimes and I well remember my last Camino some of the co-incidences with regard to meeting peoiple. There is every chance that we may meet.

Buen Camino, Janet
