Hey Ellen,
I'm leaving Vancouver on Aug 30th and arriving in SJPDP on Aug 31st. Planning to start walking Sept 2nd. I think I am going to attempt to make it all the way to Roncesvalles on that day. Hopefully I will be rested enough. If not, I will chill out an extra day and enjoy SJPDP.

Hi Ellen,
I'm having that same anxiety. I'm traveling from Canada and planning to spend a couple of nights in St Jean before starting out. I tried to book a place in Orrison but it was full as well. I think you have to listen to your body and only leave St Jean when you feel rested. If it...

Hi Araz,
It is warm out there!!! I try to leave early in the morning. I just hiked Coliseum Mt yesterday and didn't bring enough water. It's all a learning experience and I'm glad to be working out all the kinks now before I go.
Are you able to get in some hikes?

Hi Sarah,
I'm starting my pilgrimage on Sept 2nd in St Jean. I'm sooooo excited about this upcoming adventure. I'm from Vancouver and have been getting to know our local mountains while training. Loving the preparation for my journey and realizing that in fact my journey has already begun.
