Hi all
Myself and three friends are flying out from Ireland tomorrow and leaving St Jean Pied de Port for Roncesvalles on Sunday. We have always planned on the Napolean route. With the heatwave and Sunday being forecast for "scorching" and "blazing" sunshine up to near 40° we are wondering if this is still the best route? I think I read somewhere that the Valcarlos route would be more shaded? Any thoughts or advice? We would prefer the more scenic Napolean route but most of all want to be able to finish and keep safe. Thanks.
