Just checked again... The quote I was given (€141.99) was from Biarritz airport to Gite Makila. Sorry, my mistake here.... trying to sort everything at once then forgetting what I have done. One of the reasons why the Camino is so attractive.

I have just tried to book 1 night at refuge Orisson (29/8) but looks like its booked out. Does anybody know how far it might take to walk from SJPdP to Roncesvalles without stopping at Orisson?
