Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela

[WolverineDG]

When last I ventured this topic, I had not been able to locate any information. I'm not sure why, but lately, I can't get on the internet without finding yet ANOTHER website about it.

So, I've made up my mind & next year, sometime in May, I will start walking the Camino Frances. My goal is to start in France at St. Jean-Pied-de-Port & walk the almost 800km to Santiago. I have a coworker who has tentatively said he'd come along (not sure if he was drunk at the time, though :rofl: ), but if anyone else is interested, give me a shout. :) In order to get the coveted "Compostela," you have to walk the last 100km, so if 800km sounds like too much for you, perhaps you could meet me in Sarria, which is a little over 100km & where most pilgrims start?
