[QUOTE="Sparleb644, post: 1048941, member: 78256"] Wow. Lots of people with a variety of appraisals. So obviously your experience can fall into a range depending on what challenges you. My wife and I did both in May. le Puy to Sjpp in 2017 and Norte in 2018. The spots you mention as hard are both very steep. The Norte has some steep climbs but some longer ones in Basque Country that show overall elevation gains and losses higher than Le Puy stages. Both smooth out as you move along. We found we were in great shape when we got near the end and I finished in Roncealles after an easy hike over the Napoleon route. Even though this is a hard stage. So it will depend à great deal on your condition going in. We were both around 60 in age at the time. We’re looking forward to doing the Frances to round out our experience….. As for dates, your probability of getting rain does increase slightly as you move your departure date back, but the variability from one year to the next is very high. This was a bad year to start in April…… Next year may be glorious… Bien Camino [/QUOTE]
