A Bluenoser Pilgrim

[P Steeper]

I'm from Nova Scotia, Canada and I'm planning to leave Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port on April 7th. This will be my first Camino and I'm looking forward to challenge and meeting many new people. We drove through the Pyrenees last year to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port where we stayed at an B&B in Uhart-Cize. Our hosts Rachel & Jean-Sebastien spoiled us with their great hospitality and food and we plan to see them again this year.

Are you planning on stopping at Orisson or are you walking through to Roncesvalles? The communal dinner at Orisson is wonderful and you meet many of the pilgrims who you will see over the days and weeks ahead. Hope to see you at the CCoP Halifax Chapter event March 31 so we can give you a proper send-off!

I'm hoping to stay at Orrison but it will depend on the weather. They won't take reservations for early April until they know the pass will be open. I want to keep the first days easy until I get use to the camino.
I've been to a couple of CCoP events at the Trail Shop and they have been very helpful. I'll have to have my packing very organized to make the March 31st event!

...I want to keep the first days easy until I get use to the camino...

That's a smart decision.
April will be wet this year, but your modern version (Tilly Hat) of a Souwester will do fine, rain or shine.
Have a good one.

The Canadian Passport/Tilley...

The hat's been to few countries. One of my Tillies went on cruise in the Bay of Fundy. It hasn't returned yet.

It probably went up the river on the Tidel Bore, also known as the Total Bore in Moncton.

I'm off on the 7th as well. Hope the pass cooperates!
