    Thinking of a 'crowded-summer-camino-frances-backup-plan'

    Hi! So my plan is to walk from Oloron to SJPP, and then walk the camino frances. I am a bit concerned that the CF will be crowded and hot. So, for both of those reasons I was thinking that the camino norte might be a nice change of pace. Any thoughts on the weather comparing the two regions...

    Hi! I will be doing my first camino this summer. I am trying to decide if I want to start in Oloron or Saint Jean Pied de port. As I understand from the topo map, the France portion is the most climbing that you do on the way. Which route has less elevation change? Which route did you enjoy...
