Hopefully will catch up with you on the way. mVery close to my starting date. Arriving in SJPDP 6.April - and planning to start walking 7.April.
Hello Mark,
My daughter and I are also 1st time walkers from USA.
We fly into Pamplona the night of April 7th and will find transportation
to St Jean on the 8th. Hope to see you, Jesper & Sharni. Also hope
that the hope the mountain route is open. See all of you.
Hi Mark,Hi Karen, if mountain route is open will spend first night in Orrison, hopefully will see you on the way.

I will be leaving out of St. Jean on the 9th (April). I contacted Orisson. They replied that they would not take a reservation because they were not sure if they would be open. They told me to call a day prior.Hi Mark,
The problem with Orisson is that it gets fully booked way in advance. For April you need to be booking now. You cannot just decide on the day and get a bed there.
Buen Camino,
Mike
look forward to it. hope to see you on the way. markHello Mark, Karen, Jesper, Sharni and the rest,
I hope to begin from SJPP around April 7 or 8. I look forward to seeing you out there!

If the Napoleon route is open I am sure Orisson will be open. Getting a bed will probably be a problem. The options would be: get a bed at Orisson, stop short at Hunto, or walk to Roncesvalles. If the Napoleon is closed walk the Valcarlos: get a bed in Arneguy or Valcarlos or walk to Roncesvalles.
I am a newbie, so maybe some more experienced pilgrims will give their advice.
Hello everyone, I'm leaving Logrono on the 16th and hope to see you on the way also.look forward to it. hope to see you on the way. mark
We have tried to book Orisson for April 14. Were told to call a few days prior to make reservations because of uncertainty of weather that time of year. What gives? Buen CaminoHi Mark,

Thanks for the tip Mike, just sent a booking request but looking at other comments will probably have to wait until the week before.Hi Mark,

I made my reservation for Orrison early in Dec for April 14. There were no problems, just took a bit of time to get a response. I contacted them five days ago to change to April 13 and they responded saying that was okay. No mention of possibly not being open?? I have wondered what happens in the event of the Napoleon Route being closed, does anyone know if Orrison refunds your payment?We have tried to book Orisson for April 14.

I tried booking back in December for the 2nd Apr & was told to contact them the day before. I think they don't like to have to deal with refunds.I made my reservation for Orrison early in Dec for April 14. There were no problems, just took a bit of time to get a response.
