    Alternative routes - maps?

    I walked the del Norte in March-April this year. Some possible concerns for you to consider as you are choosing routes: - the trail routes are usually not just longer but also have significantly more ascent/descent. - del Norte trails are often quite rugged, with uneven surfaces and made of...

    Wifi Connections Irun to SdC

    I’m finishing CDN from Irun tomorrow. WIFI has been highly variable, and just totally dependent on the facility I’m staying in. Generally okay for email, videos, photo editing.

    Irún to San Sebastián first day

    I did it about 10 days ago. I actually started next door to Irun in Hondarribia. According to my Garmin GPS watch, it was just under 25 km. There was 1,060 meters of ascent and 1,044 of descent, on the high ridge alternative. Some of the terrain is steep and rugged. It is likely drier now, but...
