You will definitely not be alone!Interesting to read everyones point of origin and start date. A little surprised too discover the date I start walking from St Jean is 9th September and based on my observations will be walking alone. I read that Mid week is more suitable time to start journey as it helps avoid congestion on route but the number 9 has always played a significant role in my life so the date and The Way choose me. Im simply answering the call. Buen Camino Everyone!
Peter, your the last to confirm what date in September? Based on response to your question looks like they'll be no shortage of walking buddies we're yet to meet along the way. Buen Camino!I’m going to walk the full Francis on my third visit to the Camino from st Jean to Santiago. Will anyone else be walking in September 2018?
Thanks.
Peter
Thank you for the moral support Tillyjones. Reminds me that. 'you cannot be lonely if you like the person your alone with'You will definitely not be alone!
Hi Micht, nothing to be frightened off only fear itself. Embrace the unknown. I decided to book first night in St Jean, 2nd in Orisson and 3rd night in Ross. As your staying in Bayonne I'd book a night in Orisson and if doing so act quickly as fully booked for days I'm traveling but staying in alternative accomodation owned by same owners. I also booked breakfast and meals as not only is their likelihood to meet potential Camino family but eases yourself gently into the journey in measured way. Either way Buen Camino!Hi Peter, overnight at Bayonne on 6 September. Not sure yet whether to start the next day from SJPdP or spend a night there - first time walking.
Exciting and a bit terrifying! Looking forward to meeting many lovely pilgrims.
I’m not great at pre-booking as I don’t enjoy being locked in, hence my booking of flights eleven days before departure. This is probably a pretty dumb move on my part but hopefully I will be able to get a bed if I arrive midday. I had hoped that accom wouldn’t be at capacity.Hi Micht, nothing to be frightened off only fear itself. Embrace the unknown.

I’ll be at Roncevalles on the 19th too so I’ll look out for you. I’ll be strolling up direct from SJPP. So I may not be in the best of shape! Time will tell. See you on the trail.Staying at Orisson on 18Sept.
Hope to see some of you there or Roncesvalles on 19th.
I'm the tall guy in the white hat with the gray goatee.
Otherwise undistinguishable....
Hola! I just booked my flight from Geneva to Biarritz for Sept. 13 (next Thursday!) but won't arrive until 8:20PM (without any delays). I'm looking for options to either stay in Biarritz or Bayonne that night or shared transportation to SJPDP as it seems all public transit options will not be available that late in the evening.
Please reach out to me if you'd like to meet up, share a taxi, find a hostel, or just have some advice. I'm hoping to start my camino on the 14th from SJPDP.
Buen Camino a todos!
My daughter and I hope to begin Wednesday however thunderstorms are causing some caution. We may see you if we are delayed.You will definitely not be alone!

Yes I am hoping so. However our main reason for timing was to fit in with the NSW school holidays so missing the crowds is more fortuitous than planned.Franb68, probably more sensible time of month to walk, expect it's cooler and less congested, Buen Camino
Are you both planning walking to Santiago or to the end of world and what kind of timeframe have you scheduled. I plan 1000 Km in 6 weeksYes I am hoping so. However our main reason for timing was to fit in with the NSW school holidays so missing the crowds is more fortuitous than planned.
No not to the end if the world. We both have husbands and kids at home so 3.5 weeks was maximum we could be away. Will start in St Jean but get train from Burgos to Sarria in the middle so we can walk last 100kms. I didn't want to miss the Pyrenees and also wanted to end in Santiago.Are you both planning walking to Santiago or to the end of world and what kind of timeframe have you scheduled.

Whats happ'n Irish Bernie, did the name give it away. I'm a Pennyburn man, You?
It's a bit of a boring walk out of Leon through industrial landscape,but very nice past that,depending if you walk along the road or turn left and walk through countryside.
