[QUOTE="David Tallan, post: 1138762, member: 31995"] If you aren't starting at your front door, any starting point is arbitrary, and the start of the "Camino Frances" strikes me as more arbitrary than most. It seems to me that Ostabat in France and Roncesvalles and Puente la Reina in Spain have at least as good a claim to the "Start of the Camino Frances" title as SJPDP. So, by all means, start wherever you want. That said, many who start on the French side of the Pyrenees say that crossing the Pyrenees is a special experience. You are likely to come across some rain along the Camino. You may want to consider the precedent of letting it deter you. :) If you are worried about the safety of crossing the Napoleon route in bad whether, you could consider checking with the Pilgrim Office before setting out. I don't think they will hesitate to point you to the alternate, safer route across the Pyrenees, that is used during the winter months if there is a real concern for your safety. Another alternative might be to start in Roncesvalles instead of Pamplona. Then when you get to the "halfway" marker just before Sahagun, you will really be at the halfway point of your journey, Or you could start from Pamplona as you are considering. That would be equally valid. [/QUOTE]
