My wife and I arrive in Madrid on 14 August. We're taking the bus straight from the airport to Pamplona and will stay one night there for jet lag catch-up, then on to SJPP on the afternoon of the 15th. We start the Camino on August 16, and will spend the first night at Orisson. I suppose we'll be running into some of you who are leaving on the 15th or 17th somewhere along the way. To quote Buddy Holly, "Ev'ry day, it's a-gettin' closer..."

For those planning to stay fist night in orrisson, what time do you start your walk from sjpdp?
It's a very casual 3-4 hour stroll up to Orisson and it's good to arrive there by 5.30pm at the latest. That gives an hour to get settled in before the communal dinner is served at 6.30pm.
So I'd suggest leaving SJPDP anytime up til say 2pm to do it very comfortably and enjoyably.
Buen Camino

Hi thanks for the replies and messages! I'm leaving on the overnight Lunea train from Paris on the 17th and planning on staying in SJPDP for one night on 18th but having read some tips. Orrison sounds like a good idea and book in advance being summer and all. Would you do a night in st jean and a night in orrison or just a night in orrison? Cheers c
