Anyone else starting their Camino from Saint Jean Pied de Port on June 3rd?

I'm hoping to leave London 2/6 and spending 2 nights in SJPdP. I was advised to begin a walk early in the week rather than weekend due to being really busy on weekend. Haven't booked my flight from UK yet.
 
This will be my third Camino and there isn't a tremendous difference on any day of the week. Two nights in SJPP seems like too much. A night in Bayonne followed by a night in SJPP would be my advice. If you get to SJPP on the second with a plan to start your hike on the third let me know. I've got another friend who I met on Camino in 2013 joining as well.

2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

We are heading out from Saint Jean Pied de Port on the morning of July 3rd which means you would need to be in SJPP the day before. Let me know if you have any questions. I've been researching the camino for over 10 years and have done in twice (2013 & 2015). I have day by day notes on the most important things to see, historical info etc. If you have any questions or need anything at all send me an email at bob@placementdirectory.com and I'll do my best to help.

SuperPilgrim,

Have you either researched or hiked the de la Plata route? Am thinking of walking from Salamanca north.

Thank you.

Alan, I've only researched a small amount on the Via de la Plata. Unfortunately I cannot be of much help, but it is on my list as an option for 2019 after I complete Norte and Primitivo next year. I hear from people who have done multiple routes they prefer Plata over Portuguese, but it is a matter of personal opinion.
 
Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Maybe not tremendous but it's significant.
Spanish walkers usually begin their walk on Fridays, rest of the EU on Saturdays and rest of the world on Sundays, depending on usual departing days from their homes of course.

But I do agree with on staying another day in Bayonne (especially if jet-lagged) and one more day , or at least an afternoon, in St.Jean.

Ultreia!

PS (SuperPilgram??? Why Super and why PilgrAm? That's a spelling mistake???)
 
Less than two weeks to go. Anyone else confirmed to Start on June 3rd from St Jean Pied de Port?

There seems to be a good group leaving on June 3rd. Keep us posted on your travel dates. It is always nice to know some of the pilgrims right from the start!
 
SuperPilgrim, maybe I'll see you down the road. I start SJPDP on June 8th. My daughter and niece will be traveling with me so I may have to slow down my pace based on their adjusments to the camino. I did the frances last year as well, so I am familiar with the walk and struggles of some. Hope to see a few of the pilgrims posting on this thread.
