    SJPP to Roncesvalles

    Hello, The climb from SJPP to Roscasvelles is bigger than anything I have done before, and the prospect does worry me a little as well. I'm fit and 50, but don't want to spoil things for the rest of the Camino by overdoing it on the first day. I'll be starting from SJPP on the morning of...
