I walked in August through to the end of September this year from SJPdP to Santiago. never once did I fail to get a bed, from sleeping on a matress in the village hall to a private room. Did not call ahead to book and as for Spanish you quickly learn how to converse for your needs, no blisters...
Hello,
Just bottled out of going all the way to Roncesvalles. I have just confirmed a stay at Orisson so I can go even slower and smell the flowers.
Buen Camino
Hello Zolarose and Oct2012 Pilgrim,
I will be the old codger with the vango rucksack with the forum badge, so I do hope we speak . I still don't know if I am going passed Orisson, even though I live amongst hills.
Buen Camino
Denise,
Easyjet from Gatwick to Biarritz, bus from there to Bayonne rail station then to St. Jean or share a taxi. Not been my self but I have been browsing the threads and lots of members have posted times etc, and typical because I am looking I cant find the thread. Hope this helps.
As a parent myself at 66 I am flying from Edinburgh 22/8/14 then Gatwick 23/8/14 arriving SJPP to start out on the 24/8/14. Hope you let your family read the various posts about lone lone walkers to calm the fears they have. All the best and Buen Camino, John.
Another small step, my Pilgrims Forum Member's badge arrived, so thank you Ivar, that was prompt service. Change to my start date now to arrive in SJPdP on Sunday the 24th of August.
Thank you
Posted about setting off late August but now have to change my start dates . Oh the joy of planning but I hope all will be well in the end. Thanks for reading this folks.
Was wondering where my first post has gone? I have now booked my room for the night of Sunday 25 August 2014, another step closer. Or are my eyes letting me down and the post is still displayed? First message went like this, Hello All, I hopefully will be starting from SJPDP on Monday 25...
Hello All,
I hopefully will be starting from SJPDP on Monday 25 August 2014, at the planning stage for arriving on the Sunday . Training in the lake district where I live, and reading everything I can.
All the best John
