I'm of the same age Thomas and planning on doing the CF again this September, leaving St Jean September 12th.Greetings All. Thanks to an impending 70th birthday, an incredibly supportive famly and a lifetime of travel, I am planning on a leisurely (38-40 days or so?) Camino Frances beginning in September 2015. Anyone out there looking at a September 2015 departure?
Hi, ,my partner and I are starting our 1st camino 3 sept 2014 , the day he turns 60 and hope to finish on my 51st birthday. Hope we get a chance to say buen camino to you somewhere along the wayThomas I want to do it before my 70th - so I have to do it this year! Plan to start early Sept in SJPP, training about 8 hours a week right now. Give special attention to my equipment, shoes and the weight of my pack. Nothing more - I'll just go and do it. Solo. Looking forward tremendously. Good luck with your preparation. ( I am in Lydenburg South Africa and don't know any one else who will do it)

I would be very interested in finding and developing a small network (3-5) of similar pilgrims to plan, prepare and carry this out together. Using today's communications technology, we should be able to work together very easily as we prepare and plan.

Hi there,
I'm planning to walk the Camino Sept/Oct 2015 too. Would love to be in contact with people walking around that time but I am planning not to plan! I won't be booking anything other than the essentials and taking each day as it comes.
I'm from Perth Western Australia
My sisters and I are leaving 9/3 from Leon. Do you have any idea what you are bringing? What about bedbugs? Paula from FloridaI'm another Pacific Northwesterner who will be walking in September/October 2015. I'll be starting in August in Vezelay.
I think this is absolutely wonderful, especially all the positive response you have received from people who are so positive in sharing into your plan and share a similar profile. Fantastic! This being said, unless you are a super walker, with really long legs, if you are really considering a "leisurly space" I would plan on a week, or so, more. To walk 20k a day and not 30, to take an extra day to "rest" although you will walk just as much visiting Burgos, Leon and perhaps Pamplona and Astorga, plus perhaps 2 or 3 "real" days of rest where you will find paradores and can enjoy a bath and perhaps a massage: Viana, Santo Domigo, Villafranca del Bierzo for example.Greetings All.

It would be great for us all to meet in September in St JeanHola Thomas!
I'm also planning to walk September-October 2015. It sounds like a wonderful idea!
Coming from Tel Aviv, Israel.
Hi Mike,Well said, that is my plan as well. I hope to leave SJPdP about September 7, 2015 and not rush.
Hi, planning to do the CF about the same time next year. If we do meet along the way, let's have a code word so that we know we saw this postGreetings All.

Hi Thomas, I would like to participate in any planning activities, even though I won't be able to join the group. I turn 70 in November. So this is sort of a birthday present to myself. I could be the "point man" and provide you with lessons learned. I am particularly interested in refining my packing list. I have made my travel arrangements and would be happy to share what I have done.Greetings All.

I've done the CF twice in Sep/Oct and experience tells me that in Australia the 'Good' fares start being offered from Feb onward. If you can get a cheap flight to and from Singapore from Perth it may be worth while looking for a return flight from Singapore to Europe. Singapore being a major hub the Airline choices are more extensive and the competition more vigorous.

Targeting Sept 5th morning to start out. Labor day weekend in teh states gets me an extra day. I hope to have airline tickets by the end of next week.
Hi Thomas, I am also looking for Sept 2015 departure. I live in Las Vegas and plan to walk a minimum of 40 days. I have not decided whether to fly to Paris, which now has a train direct to SJPdP or to Madrid. Any suggestions?Greetings All.

Be sure to look at "open jaw" tickets, sometimes called "multiple destinations." I typically fly into Pamplona and back from Santiago, connecting both ways through Madrid on Iberia Airline. The "round trip" fare is less costly in time and money than trying to stitch together plane, bus, and train schedules. Round trip to Madrid is about $1,000 and the multiple destination is about $1,200 from the east coast of the U.S.if you do not have a round trip ticket the price is goofy
For do-it-yourself travel planning, the airport is Biarritz, the train station is Bayonne. There are many fans of traveling through Paris, but I am not one of them. I have found it easier to fly to Pamplona, and either start there or take the bus to SJPdP or Roncesvalles. Iberia/British Airways/AA serve Chicago quite well, so O'Hare may be your departure airport of choice. Go to www.iberia.com and look for flights to Pamplona or Madrid, and returning from Santiago. I can tell you that the overnight bus from Santiago to Madrid T-4 was the worst travel experience of my life, bar none!! I would rather fly through Heathrow than repeat that bus ride, and I view Heathrow as several steps below New Delhi.They suggested a flight through Paris to Bayonne and return via Madrid.
I expect I will be lucky to make it to Sahagun when it will time for me to return home. I was thinking a train to Madrid.
I am planning on leaving on a Thursday, starting on a Saturday morning and then 14 days later(that's all I can get away for) taking an entire Saturday to get to Madrid and fly home Sunday. I expect to be somewhere between Burgos and Sahagun and am thinking maybe a train to Madrid? I need research more transportation near the Sahagun area. I checked Iberia (It is a great resource) It is only $56 more to fly into Pomplona but also 9 hours.
No tickets yet, but planning to arrive in SJPdP first week in September. Sounds like a group is forming as we speak, love how energy works!It would be great for us all to meet in September in St Jean

You make me envious....I have purchased our flights!! Due to finding an amazing seat sale I paid $600 Canadian (Currently $507 US or 430 Euro) per person for flights from Canada to Madrid. As such, my daughter and I will be walking our Pilgrimage Sep 14-30.
We just watched "6 Ways to Santiago" and "The Way" and we are super excited
Hello Thomas, I am walking the Camino Frances also as a celebration of my 70th and am planning also to do it alone but looking for some connection to other pilgrims. I live in Seattle, Washington, USA and would love to connect. Are you, by any chance, on Facebook? If so, we may be able to begin the introductions there?Greetings All.

I'll be starting in Astorga on September 17 - my first camino and will be walking alone, and like others, hope to make connections along the way. I'm from Seattle. I have a flight home from Madrid on September 30, so will have 2 weeks.
We have a similar timeline! We land in Madrid on the 15th and leave on the 30th, but our starting location is still TBD. My girl is active and fit, but still a child, so we may start somewhere like Molinesca, and meander at a slower pace than the norm. Maybe we will see you out there
