    May 2020 - 1st timer - SJPP to Burgo

    Thanks for this. I'm coming from California. After the flights, I'll spend my first night in Biarritz. I get in late (9PM). Then I will try for Bouricot Express the next morning. For better or worse, I did not plan a rest day in SJPP. Hoping to get there in the morning from Biarritz, I'll...

    May 2020 - 1st timer - SJPP to Burgo

    Well, I did it! I've got my flights booked and should (if I did everything correctly) arrive in Biarritz Friday night, May 8. Here are my questions: ~ Any recommendations for a place to stay in Biarritz that night? (I arrive at 21:00, if that matters regarding check in time limits.) ~...

    Altitude adjustment

    I once saw an exponential graph depicting oxygen levels to elevation. Essentially, the curve didn't start steepening until 4000 or 5000 feet. Years ago, the advice was that it took one day for every 1000 feet over 6000 feet to acclimate. You shouldn't experience any difficulties due to...

    Thanks. I'm not going to push, so even if I don't make it to Burgos, I'll be happy. If I only make it to Burgos, I'll be happy. If I make it onto the Meseta, I'll be happy. Sharry

    May 2020 - 1st timer - SJPP to Burgo

    Awesome, Andy! No, Biarritz was not of special interest. I was just looking for ways to cut down on travel time to SJPdP and be rested and ready to go in as few days as possible. I will check out all of these links and see how they mesh with the flights to Paris and from Madrid. Thank you...

    May 2020 - 1st timer - SJPP to Burgo

    Hi Glenda. I'm hoping for two weeks on the camino, planning three weeks time away from home. I'm thinking I'll leave home around May 8 if I can get a good price for the flight, so I'll be a few days behind you. I'm 65 and will take the advice of others my age and older and "go slow". Thanks...

    May 2020 - 1st timer - SJPP to Burgo

    I don't know what got me thinking about it. Maybe rereading a friend's email about his Via Francigena trip a year and a half ago. But I've been consumed (for the last three weeks) with the idea of walking the Camino Frances next May. Reading these posts has been tremendous inspiration and...
