    LIVE from the Camino Voie de la Nive - Day to Day

    Bayonne likely not necessary but for the other 2 nights I would recommend booking as most of the towns only have a couple of official places to stay, then there are a few air bnbs. For Irissarry I would recommend Gite Aire-Berria. https://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/aire-berria.en-gb.html...

    There was also some places where I had to turn around. One, in particular, where I missed a sign and walked into a farm like I owned the place... out into a pasture I thought connected to a road. Whoops! It did not. Que the barking farm dogs running around me as I hastened my way back from...

    Can't wait to hear future culinary reports, I'm sure I missed many great venues.

    I think it's perfect as a warm up to one's second Camino Frances, especially with a 4th day added. Hopefully it can grow in popularity as it does have much going for it.

    ... From there I followed the main road for a kilometer or so before turning left into a housing area. This is the left to take: Follow that road straight for quite some time and you will see a church across a major road: Cross and continue going straight, past the church, over a...

    Ok! All dons and arrived in SJpdp. Day 3: Irissarry to St Jean Pied de Port. From my Gite in Irissary I left at 10 AM To pickup some lunch provisions from a store 50 meters away in the center of town. Once I was stocked up I headed west then south. From here a good chunk of time is spent...

    Thank you kindly 😁 Tough days always remind one to stay humble. I am interested to see how confusing this last day is today as there appears to be fewer roads to get lost on compared to yesterday. I'm also excited my Gite includes breakfast in 30 minutes and there's a store I can purchase...

    ... I moved onwards and upwards towards fabled Hellette: At some point the Camino markers were in the same sign polls as another path, black triangle and two circles. Eventually these did go in two different directions, which was the first area I got lost today but only for 100 meters...

    ... As mentioned this theme of up continues and at a point you lose the Nive south again below you: After about 6-7 KMs on the whole day the route takes on a more rural feel. Larger farms, tractors, roads quiet. This isn't the whole rest of the way but it's a lot of it. Still going up up up...

    Day 2 Report: Larressore to Irissarry about 35 KMs Alright, once again a day filled with no other pilgrims and despite the overall distance and time less overall traffic... though that could have been for other reasons I will explain below. I started the day with a 2 KM walk from 8:40 AM...

    This time out I got a euro sim card with a whole whack of data. Between the official vdlN maps and Google maps, along with the occasional marker, day one was pretty easy other than the bizarre area coming in to Ustaritz where it veers south (officially) when there is no need to. You can see...

    ... From there I entered quite a beautiful village called Halsou but it was also getting sunny and hot: And at a cross in the road I went off the Voi de Nive south to Larressore: Now in Larressore the family I am staying with is full of artists and have family in Normandy so have a pile of...

    ... After my lunch I kept moving and almost right away found what I think was only the 3rd Camino marker I had seen: About 15 minutes later I came to a small parking lot and apparently I took what was not the correct path following the Nive: Once I got to Ustaritz I checked and I had gone a...

    Day 1 Report: Bayonne to Larressore: (About 20 KMs) I started this morning from the new pilgrim Albergue in Bayonne @ 7 Rue Gosse. It's quite close to the cathedral. The albergue has beds for about 20 but only had 5 others staying there last night: two young French couples not on an actual...

    MERCI! First day is an almost perfect warm up day for a Camino IMO. About 12 KMs of near dead flat walking next to river then a few ups/downs through a town or two depending on where you stay. Will post more in a few minutes

    Hi everyone, In the other thread Vacajoe requested I post about the Voie de la Nive as I go. I am using this as a warm up for my Camino Frances. About 10 KMs right now and stopped as "Paarela Cuinguette" for food. Will post photos and more impressions later on today. 👍
