    Two pilgrims lost and found in SJPP-Roncesvalles

    Spanish newspapers report that two British pilgrims got lost in the SJPP-Roncesvalles stage and were rescued yesterday. They reportedly survived five days drinking water from streams and cattle abreuvoirs. Finally, they decided to ask for help (a phone call?), and rescue teams from Burguete...

    Walking from SJPDP to Roncesvalles around 10 in the morning. Would it be too late?

    Hi all! I am starting the camino on this friday, and I will be arriving SJPP by taking the earliest train of the day from Bayonne. It departs SJPDP at 7:30 and arrives Bayonne at 8:45. I think the time would be around 10 - 10:30 after I receive credential and information from the pilgrim...

    Starting at French border instead of SJPP?

    I realize it is traditional for many non-Spaniards to start in SJPP, but do some start at the French border via a round-trip from Roncesvalles? I think you would get most of the views, without the hassle/expense of trying to get to SJPP, plus you would avoid about 800 m of vertical climb. I...

    Orisson question--

    If we stay the night at Orisson, and then the next morning Napoleon's Route is closed, do we have to hike all the way back down to pick up the Valcarlos route?

    Orisson Paypal link

    Hi everyone-- Ten days after I wrote Orisson, I received an e-mail response (refuge.orisson@wanadoo.fr) saying my son and I could stay there on April 23rd, and that we should pay via paypal, but there was no link to paypal, and I'm not sure how to put a deposit. I did write back, but have not...

    Pyrenees

    Starting my Camino in middle to late April. I know no one can forecast the weather but is there usually snow in the Pyrenees. Is it passable? Thank you in advance for any information that would help.
