Hi DanielH, there are 3 trains a day leaving Bayonne for St Jean, you can't book your tickets ahead, you buy them at Bayonne
Part of the way the train turns into a bus due to track repairs but your train ticket covers the cost.

I'm leaving myself on the 18th so we may meet? I am staying in Gite Ultreia but won't arrive till 18.30ish on the 17th, I'm walking to Orisson the next day.
If we don't manage to meet I hope you have an amazing adventure!

Hi Sarah, it would be nice if I could be added to the list. Will be starting in Burgos on September 8, picking up from where I stopped in 2012.
Hi Garth, have added you to the list!
I too did my camino in 2 parts St Jean to Burgos 2013 and Burgos to Santiago 2014. Starting again with another 2 week visit, can't wait till I'm retired, too impatient.
Buen camino
Sarah
 
My backpack is packed and ready for the airplane; 7.7kg (17lbs). Hope to see a few of you on the trail.

Additionally, if anyone is looking for a ride from Pamplona to SJPdP on the 8th of September at 11am, please let me know.

I have a private shuttle arranged directly to SJPdP and willing to offer a ride.

Cheers and Buen Camino.

This is my first post on a forum, ever. I confess I do not fully understand what I am doing. My eagerness to connect with other pilgrims is reducing my normal tendencies to master this site before posting. I am leaving from SJPP on September 20, 2015. I am also looking for a way to get transport from Bayonne to SJPP on the Sept 19th. Thank you and Buen Camino!
 

LornaD,

Welcome to the Forum!

You can use this SNCF/TER web to find train/bus transport from Bayonne to SJPdP. Buy your ticket at the station; seats are not reserved on these train/bus transport combos.

Bon voyage and Buen camino!

I am not sure if there is an October thread, but my dad and I will be arriving to St Jean on October 9th.

Also... We have our train tickets from CDG to Bayonne booked, but I am having trouble finding a recent time table for Bayonne to St Jean. If anyone could pass any suggestions my way I would be beyond grateful!
 
Rebecca,

The Link which I posted just above to Lorna D. shows 4 train/bus transport combos for the 9th of October. Buy your ticket in the Bayonne rr station. One ticket covers both the train and bus. No reservations are needed.

Bayonne > St-Jean-Pied-de-Port

Le 09/10


Départ
Arrivée
11h10 12h23
14h56 16h08
18h06 19h24
21h10 22h22

Good luck and Bon voyage!

Hi and welcome LornaD! This was my first forum too but so well worth every minute spent here for the wealth of great information that experienced pilgrims can share with you.
I'm enclosing the link to the rail site like Margaret did, I can only see 3 leaving times from Bayonne on the 19th? maybe different as the weekend? I can see 11.10, 14.56 and 18.06. As Margaret said you cannot purchase you ticket in advance just buy at the station, by the time you get here you will be meeting other pilgrims, easily identified as they are the ones with the backpacks.
https://www.ter.sncf.com/aquitaine/...rs=17;3;10;8;6;7;4;5;9&wasReverseSearch=False

I have added your name to our list, if you go to the first page on this thread you can see the names of other pilgrims that are starting on the same date as you. If you wish to make contact you can use 'Start a conversation' which is the same as private message or use 'reply' with any of their messages and this alerts them that they have had a response. Some forum members are much more active than others so don't worry if you wait a while for a response. you can ask questions here on this thread and we will do our best to help, or explore other parts of the forum where you can learn many helpful things, hope this helps?
Buen camino

Hi Rebecca @C clearly is running the October thread, on the link Mike gave you.

I am enclosing the link to the rail page, google should offer you the option to translate.

Then actually quite emotional when I arrived in St Jean, couldn't quite believe it was happening.
Hope you have a wonderful journey.

Buen camino

It'll be my 3rd time on the camino (second time walking the whole way - cross-fingers). I'm way more excited this time than I was the first time. My first time on the camino was because my mum dragged me along on a hiking holiday she said I would *just love*. Turns out that mums sometimes do know better! ;-) She wasn't too pleased about my camino tattoo though. Hahaha!

Hi!
I'm Kat and will be starting September 11th from St.jean. Its only just sinking in the magnitude of this so I'm now very nervous and can't quite believe what I'm about to do- but also can't wait to get started!
I'll be walking solo, 28 year old female, I quit my job to do this, walk with God and find my new path! I can't wait to meet people and share the journey.

Hi and welcome Kat, don't worry nerves are very normal at this stage. We all have them even those who have been before.
Quitting your job is bold, you are well and truly called to the camino. I hope you have a wonderful journey.
You are about to meet many, many pilgrims some of whom you may travel all the way to Santiago with!

Should get in with time, I hope, to get a credencial at the Pilgrim's Office. Hope to see some of you out there.

Hi Joanne, yes of course I will add you now. @DeadFred created a list last year so that we could all communicate, so the original idea wasn't mine but I'm really glad to have done it, people have saved money with transport and already made friends and arranged meetings! It's been a pleasure.
Hope you have a wonderful journey.

I am unbelievably excited! A few days left until jet plane day, and then we begin!

My personality is to normally research and plan as much as possible and then control as many situations as I can in life. Thankfully the past few years have brought me the ability to roll with the punches, and my girl and I will make our decisions day by day.
 

Me too Josepha, 7 sleeps for me! Great attitude to teach your daughter, go with the flow and trust the camino to provide everything you need at exactly when you need it!
Hope you have a great adventure!
