Thank You Tia. That seemed to be the only one we came across online. Do you have to give Correos the exact albergue you will be staying in or is there a general location where they drop the bags? We like to choose albergues on arrival and generally try to stay in the municipals.
We will be just behind you Al. We will start walking this route on Wednesday 28th March. Hoping to arrive into Santiago Easter Sunday morning This will be Camino number 5! Can anyone point me in the direction of baggage transfer for this route? Trying to convince my mother to take it easy on...
I am planning on bringing a group of teachers to do Sarria to Santiago next Easter. What happens if you do not have an albergue booked in the next town? Can you just nominate your backpack to be sent to any albergue and pick it up there and then decide where you want to stay?
Hi everyone. I contacted the tourist offices in Lourdes and Oloron Sainte-Marie. I struck gold with the latter. They sent me this link

Qalawun and NicMen, did you find any websites in English with explanations of route?
Walking from SJPDP to Lourdes this April and I'm a bit apprehensive about the lack of information. I bought Stacey's book as it is the only one in English but it lacks detail on the route.
Thanks Annie. Do you recommend the Lourdes route? We have decided to walk from St Jean to Lourdes. I'm assuming we shouldn't have too much difficulty in doing it backwards. Do you recommend any particular guidebook?
Can you tell me is it possible to walk from St Jean to Lourdes? I'm looking for a guide book and links.
My mother and I are hoping to start walking on Monday 10th April and arrive in Lourdes on Easter Sunday. All help and advice greatly received.

Thank You all for the replies.
We are also considering visiting Lourdes either before or at the end of the journey, with the possibility of walking from Lourdes to St Jean. The possibilities are endless, trying to make a decision is hard!
