Hi fellow pilgrims anyone starting Camino on May 1st from St Jean and if so any idea what the weather may be like? On a Ryan Air flight from Dublin to Biarritz 31st April. Catch a train from Bayonne to St Jean Pied de Port. Where can I purchase rail tickets and how long is the journey. I wonder how many others have same travel arrangements.
This is my first Camino. Can one get by with little or no Spanish. :lol:

Hi James. We may see you on our travels. My friend and I are starting from Roncesvalles on the 29th. We are both from Toronto. My first time, my friend's 4th. I can't wait and have been planning this for a year. Will look out for you. Buen Camino!

Think I will have to move it a bit to get over that mountain so as to catch you and your friend as you have a 2 day and 26km head start on me. Have been planning this for a year too and am really looking forward to the Camino experience. Hopefully we will meet and if not as they say......

Buen Camino ! :|

Happy Easter! I start walking from Pamplona in the morning of May 3, so I may meet you on the Camino. I have my patch on my bag with another patch of a walking sock monkey. I walk very "Relaxed" so I may see you! Buen Camino.

i'm new here, but I'll be starting a bit behind you all, on may 4th (possibly 3rd) from St. Jean. If you walk slower i might see you, but if not, Buen Camino!
