[QUOTE="SongKhonGair, post: 1140256, member: 107871"] Thank you everyone for your kind replies. More new questions for me than answers, but in a very good way! You have given us advice, suggestions and ideas, much appreciated. We will take a train several stages beyond Toulouse as our starting point. And take a bus thru later stages if we feel the need, and feel no shame about it! We will walk via Lourdes. That is an opportunity too good to miss. I have found the GR route that links Marciac with Lourdes. The Somport pass is tempting... Spectacular mountain scenery, lovely people, and delightful small villages are the main reasons we will start in France. I could walk the entire Camino in solitude, my wife however is the type that will have 15 new close friends by the end of it. So I think SJPdP may win out. 😄 We had decided a March start is more our style in regards to weather, but I realise the mountain passes may not be open yet for our early April crossing. The Napolean pass is forbidden until 1 April and may not open even then due to conditions. The Somport pass is at higher altitude, and presumably opens even later. I shall look into that, but this I think tips the balance to an August start. So it is a likely August start beyond Toulouse, detour thru Lourdes, mountain pass yet undecided. Thank you all for your help! [/QUOTE]
