[QUOTE="Marbe2, post: 938944, member: 51058"] My first camino was supposed to start in SJPdP and we had trained for it. Physically we were ready. I was 65 atthe time-and my sister was 74. There was no room for us in Orrison, but we knew that and had factored that into our plans. We were leaving in mid September….🤪🤣😂 Unfortunately,there was extreme heat for the next few days. The day to climb to Roncevalles was not viable for us in that heat….weather the day of departure was way too hot, it was a scorcher. It was a heat wave and dangerous! So instead, prudently took the shuttle later in the morning and started in Roncevalles. It was so hot,we actually took 3 days to get to Pamplona. That is when we realized that we needed to be out the door by 5am or walk in cooler weather. So we now start in October or Early March. It will be interesting this year. Because of Covid, we are starting on September 2nd. So the Pandemic has trumped the possibility of high temperatures in our planning. [/QUOTE]
