    LIVE from the Camino Easy to miss junction near Eskerika

    No worries - on the odd occasion that I've done the same thing, it's only too late that I realise that I should have done this. Anyway, I'll be there mid-June. I'll try to remember this and grab a photo then and post it here.

    LIVE from the Camino Easy to miss junction near Eskerika

    Don't suppose anyone got a photo?

    Is swimwear necessary?

    I'm going to do exactly the same thing too! Hopefully the Norte in June-July will have warm enough water to swim

    SJDdP over Pyrenees to join Camino del Norte?

    I'm looking to do the GR10 - it looks pretty spectacular-ish

    Roll call Camino Norte

    We should reach Irun (having started in Le Puy) in the second week of June. Will proceed to Santiago, in an orderly fashion, via the Norte and the Primitivo finishing mid July... Hopefully...

    How long from irun to bilbao and how much is urbanised or busy roads

    150kms in a week is eminently 'do-able'

    Food on the Camino del norte

    I've nothing positive to advise you Todd, but as we'll be walking the del Norte in mid-June (after the via podiensis) I am watching this forum with bated breath (well bated taste buds actually). Hope you have a great camino!

    Le Puy Plus Norte/Primitivo

    I have been reminded that I walked the Dragonte route from Villafranca del Bierzo up to O'Cebreiro in 2013, and I've had a look at what was involved there and compared it to the Col D'Iparla section of the GR10. The Dragonte is 36 Kms and has 2271 metres of climbing. From St Jean to Bidarray...

    Le Puy Plus Norte/Primitivo

    Great tip thanks. I'll have a three liter steamer - I'm always very cautious about hydration.

    Le Puy Plus Norte/Primitivo

    Great description kaixo - I think this sums up what I'm looking for with this part of the trip - not withstanding the caution with which it should be undertaken. Could you advise, what time of year did you do this? Were there any other issues that you faced?

    Le Puy Plus Norte/Primitivo

    Thanks for the words of caution, they are appreciated. From reading Caminka's post it looks as though I need to consider: The weather. It will be high summer so hopefully that will mitigate the risk but not eliminate it. The cumulative effect of successive climbs - I have consistently been...

    Le Puy Plus Norte/Primitivo

    Thanks for the encouragement! Really, there's a couple of hard bits out of SJPP up to Orisson, then the downhill into Roncesvalles, but the bulk of the middle section is only hard because of what came before (and what didn't come before in terms of training...) From the profile of the G10...

    Le Puy Plus Norte/Primitivo

    My wife and I intend to do exactly this starting on or about May 10 (so five days behind you). Our idea (well mine really) is to do the GR10 through the Pyrenees. Kel may join me over these few days, or may spend an extra couple of days in St Jean/Bayonne/Irun. I'm looking forward to the...
