Hi, I think you will have no problems meeting other pilgrimsalong your journey.hi I am new to the forum and will be starting my walk from St Jean to Valcarlos on the 23 rd April, am I likely to see many other pilgrims on the way.
Welcome to the forum Cube. When I walked from SJPdP to Valcarlos I walked alone, but that was because I left town after midday. I am sure that if you leave early in the morning you will have many fellow pilgrims to accompany you some of whom you will, no doubt, have made the acquaintace of the previous night at wherever you stayed. Buen camino!
Thank you Peter, I am looking forward to it..... Though a little nervous.Hi, I think you will have no problems meeting other pilgrimsalong your journey.
Wish you a wonderful journey and a Buen Camino, Peter.
Thank you Bunnymac, Very helpful to know, will be leaving just after breakfast.Leave early as it is a Saturday. I made the error of leaving late and there were plenty of people on the way to the summit. However, they were mostly day trippers who were collected by car near the top of the mountain, leaving me a very lonely pilgrim on the 2 hour walk through the woods to Roncesvalles. Thankfully a smashing bloke called Pepe waited for me. He had noticed my slow progress earlier in the day and had been keeping an eye out for me. (it was his 28th Camino).
The nervous part is normal, when you are on your way that will be gone. The only thing you have to do is enjoy your self.Thank you Peter, I am looking forward to it..... Though a little nervous.
