Yes. 2022. Thanks for the tip about Easter! We'll have to figure out where we'll be at that time. We are leaving from SJPP.

Just make sure you understand that the pass over the Pyrenees won't be open until the end of April so you will need to go via the other route past Valcarlos.

That link doesn't work I'm afraid as I was going to add my own plans.

I thought the pass opened April 1? Was reading various posts. Weather permitting, of course.

You are correct. Opens April 1st weather permitting. In 2018, it was closed due to conditions on April 13th so every year will be different I would presume.

Thank you for clarifying!

The pass is closed until March 31 every year. It will open on or after April 1, when the conditions are safe.

The link should be fixed now. The April thread is here.

It may be scheduled to open but it depends on a day by day situation the pilgrim office will advice, 2018 it was still snowing in Galicia on April 25th.

Yes, the pass opens April 1st, but can be closed in case of heavy snowfall; in that case you will have to take the Valcarlos route. The volunteers at the Pilgrims Office in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port will give you an adequate advice.
I will be happy to welcome you at Roncesvalles, will be working there as a hospitalera as from April 1st.

Ianinam: Hope to see you April 5th. My daughter Abigail and I should arrive on this date. Our plan is to follow the Napoleon route if conditions are good. Cheers.

The change has been made. However, people should make their requests directly on the relevant thread - we are not generally picking up comments and plans from the forum-at-large.

Ok. Thanks for the heads up.
