sending luggage from SJPDP to Roncesvalles

[2kiwis]

We are flying from New Zealand and want to put our packs in carriers to get them there undamaged ,what we are thinking about doing is sending sleeping bags,clothes etc in pack carriers to Roncesvalles
and just taking food and water in our packs from St Jean to Roncesvalles and crossing over in one day ,we are both female late 50s and 60s.
We were planning on posting pack carriers from St Jean to Santiago ,is it possible to post them from Roncesvalles or will we end up having to get them to Pamplona to post from there

sorry if this is repetitive ,have been trying to find information on here

There is no Correos/Post Office in Roncesvalles. The first Correos for posting a package in Spain on the CF would be in Pamplona.

However the Correos does offer a baggage/backpack transport service in Spain. They will pick up from Roncesvalles. For more info see Paq Mochila in http://www.correos.es/ss/Satellite/...dos_paqueteria/detalle_producto-sidioma=es_ES

Run the following through Google translate.

PAQ MOCHILA CORREOS ofrece un servicio de transporte de mochilas y maletas para aligerar el Camino a los peregrinos. Para ellos dispone de varios productos que se adaptan a las diferentes necesidades de los peregrinos que prefieren hacer el Camino más cómodamente sin cargar con su equipaje.

...just taking food and water in our packs from St Jean to Roncesvalles and crossing over in one day...

You would be wise to also carry rain gear with you, and, depending on the time of year, also carrying a fleece jacket, etc. as suitable for potential weather conditions as you cross the mountains.

Yes those would be with us too ,just think maybe lighten the load a bit for the first day out

If I may...

We can also transport your luggage stage by stage. You can read an English language description of our service at our website:

http://www.caminofacil.net/en/

You can send part of your luggage straight to Santiago for storage (at Ivar's place, for example , though we also offer that service), and send the things you'll need on a day by day basis through our service. We do pick up bags at St-Jean and also at Roncesvalles.

Please ask if you have any doubts.

You might consider placing this info in Ivar's "Resources" section? Seems like a useful service

How do I do that ?

If it is a service for pay, perhaps one of the Moderators could advise you.

All commercial posts should be in the Resources section and not the general forum. We have a strict policy about this; if we did not the forum would be overrun. It is fine to post links or posts to products or services if you are a member with no financial or other benefit to be gained. I will move the post by @Caminofácil to the resources section and leave a link here

It is easy to post something in the Resources section - go to the top menu and find the appropriate area, then start a new thread.
