Anyone starting in May?

[yaya40]

Hi everyone!

I'm Lisa from Ireland and I've been hovering around the forum for months reading lots of useful tips, thank you!

I'm starting the Camino Frances on May 4th 2016. Only 6 weeks away now! The excitement and nerves are starting to kick in. I initially decided to do it as part of my personal journey following a divorce and turning 40 last year but after my Granny passes away in Jamuary this year after a long battle with Alzheimers, I have since decided to also raise funds for the Alzheimer's society. Being a bit of a Star Wars geek I've chosen to start my trek on Star Wars Day - 4th May (may the 4th be with you..... Hey it? Lol)

Anyone else planning on starting around this time? Looking so forward to this experience and netting some fantastic people. Buen Camino!

Hi Lisa, have a look in the calendar at the top left. You will find there the pilgrims who put there name in.
There are also plenty of pilgrims along the way so you will be not alone.
Wish you a wonderful journey and a Buen Camino, Peter.

I will be in SJPP on May 4th, starting my walk on May 5th. Add your name to the thread here with a list of walkers in May and June.

Good on you, Lisa. That photo was taken twenty or so years ago, I presume?

Buen Camino!)

Hi Lisa,
Really taken in by your reason for walking.
To answer your question "Anyone else planning on starting around this time"? I think regardless of where you start from on that date, although they may not all be forum members, you'll be surrounded by people at the star of each day.

Buen (sabre-lit) camino

Hi, Peter. Silly me but I an't see this calendar you have referred to. More instructions, please?

 

[MillieMiles]

MillieMiler will arrive in SJPP on May 20, 2016 to begin my walk the next day. I have not posted anything on this forum, but I am an avid reader and follow the postings weekly. It has been so helpful in preparation for my Camino Frances. I will be looking for you on the trail!

Buen Camino.....I'm wearing my Darth Vader tshirt as I post this.

Hi Peggy, when you log in to the forum you will see at the tops left side the word "Calendar " push it and put your name in.
Hope this help, wish you well, Peter.

I'm leaving SJPP on May 2 and spending a night in Orisson so you'll probably catch up with me!

I'm not finding the calendar either, Peter. Any further clues?

Hi Lisa , I also am starting on May 4th. And I fly in from Dublin on the 3rd. I hope to get over the Napoleon route to roncesvalles. Maybe we'll cross paths. It's getting close. Stay safe. Buen Camino!

Hi MillieMiles. My sister & I will be starting from SJPP 2 days after you. Perhaps we will meet (though we are leisurely walkers )

Hi there,

I'm also starting in May but not until the 12th. I'm quite nervous and feeling rather unprepared it's a little daunting for me but I'm looking forward to challenging myself.

Maybe we will run into eachother somewhere, good luck!

Hi, when you have logged in on the forum you will see at the left of your name the word Calendar push it and you have to look the date an fill in your name.
Hope you will be o.k.
Wish you well, Peter.

Hi, It's normal to be Nervous.
You will be fine, start slow and after a while u get used to walk day in day out.
Wish you well and a Buen Camino, Peter.

Hi, my husband and I arrive in SJPP on Sunday May 22nd, can't believe that we will finally start our Camino, very excited after reading dozens of books and this forum has been brilliant. Thank you to all pilgrims for sharing your experiences.

 

[Artistinclay]

Hi Lisa
Start from SJJP on 29th April for 5 weeks might see you on route .

 

[DeadFred]

Here's a thread for meeting Pilgrims with same start dates
April /May/June 2016 Peregrinos - Camino Frances

[JillGat]

Post in DeadFred's thread above. The forum calendar wasn't real intuitive for me to use (I finally did post my start date there too, though). I see the forum calendar link in the middle/right of the light blue bar above the forum.

Hi TD Justus, We will be getting a train from Barcelona and booking a taxi from Pamplona to SJPP, how are you getting there.
We are from Brisbane in Australia (need to work out how to change my profile) a little way from Texas USA - Texans are always such fun, have met many lovely Texans over the years. Walking with your Sister will be a great experience. We shall keep a look out for you, Buen Camino
