Hi David
thanks for the advice. I tend to agree with you to rather support those shops along the way and keep pack weight to a minimum. And wasting time (& energy) trying to find a shop that sells canisters should not be part of the experience.
I am counting the days now!
Ultreya!

Hi Liz
thanks for the info. I will make a note of Termibus. My worry was that I might need to sit around for hours waiting for a bus. Knowing myself I would like to get going as soon as I arrive! I'd rather spend time on the Camino than waiting. I might spend a afteroon & night in Bilbao and...
Thanks Falcon269
What I read is that it is not a simple journey, but certainly do-able. I will look at the pesa website for bus schedules. I note what your thinking is about the pyrenees, but somehow I have made a commitment to cross them. I will reflect later whether it was a good or bad...
Thanks Sil. This Bilbao - Bayonne option seems good. I think I land early enough in Bilbao to catch the 13:00 bus. I will look at the site to plan the detail of that leg of the journey.
Hi Falcon269
It seems you know your way around.
Any advice of getting to SJPDP from Bilbao? I have looked at the internet and it seems I would need to take a bus to Bayonne, and then the train from there to SJDP. I can't figure out how long it will take and if i would need to stay overnight...
Hi Mike
thanks for the advice regarding checking the weather status in SJPDP. I will ceratinly do so.
Since you have done it before, you might have some advice for me. I am flying to Bilbao and will make my way from there to SJPDP. Most likely by bus to Bayonne and from there to SJPDP by...
Hi Sil
I will try and make contact with the CT Confraternity this week. I remain optimistic about the weather! My feeling is i will be ok once i am through Roncesvalle.
I need to make up my mind as to what to pack. Hope to draw up a list the coming weekend and start weighing the items...
Hi Carli
thanks for the feedback. I have a feeling it is going to be a most interesting hike. I will try my best to be prepared for all seasons - within (weight & space) limits.
Kind regards
Piet
Hi, I am Piet (from South Africa) and plan to start 23 March 2011 from SJPDP. I am somewhat worried about weather conditions at that time of the year? Any typical conditions and temperatures I can expect?
cheers
