    Just how difficult is it getting over The Pyrenees..

    I applaud recently-posted challenges to the arrogant legion of "aquatheists" who never tire of dictating water requirements, often with warnings about dire consequences of not guzzling the stuff. People ARE different. I, for instance, am a camel: I have done the CF twice, every step from St...

    Sleeping bag or not ?

    My wife and I started at SJPP Apri18 in 2009 and March 18 in 2012. We walked 46 days the first time and 59 the second, so we had more overnights than most. We never even considered sleeping bags; too heavy, too bulky. We did have silk liners for purposes of separation from the well-used...

    Planning to walk in late March to May - Weather?!

    We walked March 19 through May 2012. Had three snows (Pyrenees, Burgos and O'Cebreiro). Ordinary layers were sufficient. We had fleeces inside silk sacks instead of sleeping bags and, combined with albergue blankets, they were also sufficient. Our biggest obstacle was the ceaseless...

    Question: Orisson Reservation & Inclement Weather

    Hey colinPeter, I too stayed at Orisson in April '09 - April 25, to be precise. It was raining there, snowing on top and sleeting on the Roncesvalles side. Jean-Jacques put our packs in his pickup, waited a few hours and then drove to meet us at the point where the trail leaves the road. He...

    SJPP to Finisterre June/July 2012

    It is never clear to me, on this forum, who is posting a reply to whom. This is to Falcon269. I posted an itinerary for ATL to BIZ which did not include the return leg from Madrid. We chose Madrid because it's easily accessible from Santiago via train. At first we tried to book one way...

    SJPP to Finisterre June/July 2012

    We booked Atlanta to Biarritz via Paris for the same frequent flyer miles as Atlanta to Paris alone. The flight combination (AF 681, then AF 7498) gets you to Biarritz at 2:15 PM in plenty of time to reach the Bayonne train station to catch the last train to St Jean (leaving at 6:10 PM). We...
