    Ferry from England to France and Spain

    A couple of times I got to Hendaye a little late so with the weather being OK I slept outside the station locked entry door until the first train to Bayonne in the very early morning. So arriving in SJPP just after 9am I got my credential and walked straight off to Roncesvalles the same day.

    Does the Pilgrim office in St Jean still have transport to the Cross?

    I assume the cross is Thibault Cross which is where the Route Napoleon leaves the road and continues up on a walking path.

    What does the 'spirit of the camino' mean to you?

    I pray my Lord I'm on my way Protect me through each Holy day I know the pilgrim's life I choose Is not a life I want to lose

    Pilgrimage in England: Winchester to Canterbury

    My pilgrimage in Spain this year has cancelled and I am making no such journey anywhere until next year. With next year being the St James Holy year in Spain, it is likely to very busy, so I am now thinking not to go to Spain, but to do the Winchester to Canterbury pilgrimage in June next year...

    The Eurolines coach goes on the Dover/Calais ferry on its journey from London Victoria to Paris. I will be off the coach on the ferry and back on the same coach when we get to Calais. Then a change at Paris for the run to Bayonne.
