Hi! I'm a 49yr old Scot planning to walk the Frances from late April, 2016. Looking for suggestions on getting to St. Jean without flying. Ferry from Portsmouth/Plymouth to Santander then coach/bus via Pamplona?
I travelled from Scotland by rail and found that I could get an excellent price from SNCF Voyages (the website for UK travellers). The cheapest fares are released approximately 90 days ahead but you can log in and request an email to be sent when the cheap fares become available to buy. I found it cheaper than the ferry and more direct - no backtracking from Pamplona, but I travelled back to the UK on the ferry. buen camino!

Thanks for that, SEB! This is really interesting as I must confess the downside of my current plan is exactly that backtracking from Pamplona which I'd rather not have to do...
Cheers for the tip - I'll certainly follow that up!
