[QUOTE="jprogers, post: 160669, member: 2453"] Hi Scott We (from Adelaide) walked this tunnel way in June of this year. We have left from Irun twice, (once for the camino norte and once for this way) each time arriving to the city by train. There is a pilgrim alburgue in Irun where you collect your credential - opens after 4pm-ish. This may be the exact timing for you. We stayed here the first time but the second time we just got a pension close to the train station. NOTE you can get the "small" train from hendaye to Irun or the larger train. They have different train tracks and different stations!!So needless to say we got lost the first time as we were just too clever!!!. People are helpful. Years ago..from the airport a bus goes to both Bayonne and Biarritz. The train runs from Bayonne/biaritz to Hendaye ..or even Irun. Taxi would no doubt get you there. I suggest after you arrive in Irun and are settled ..to look for the way out for the tunnel route using the guide . For the tunnel route, which was well marked, we did a short stop - only 11 km the first day.. LOTS of rain the first two days lots of mud. In fact the tunnel was shrouded in fog so we took a bus/train for that bit. We met one spanish pilgrim briefly for a day. We used the CSJ guide but as I said very well way marked. They had had torrential rain in this part of Spain leading up to June so the rivers were raging and sometimes the track was a river.! We went to Santa Domingo de C. As that was our end to our short camino. They speak Spanish and Basque in this area so communication may be a bit difficult. You can Private Message (pm) me for more info. Lovely countryside, lovely food ..and not many alburgues but enough pensions. Regards Jill [/QUOTE]
