Hi fellow pilgrims anyone starting Camino on May 1st from St Jean and if so any idea what the weather may be like? On a Ryan Air flight from Dublin to Biarritz 31st April. Catch a train from Bayonne to St Jean Pied de Port. Where can I purchase rail tickets and how long is the journey. I wonder how many others have same travel arrangements.
This is my first Camino. Can one get by with little or no Spanish. :lol:

Hi James. We may see you on our travels. My friend and I are starting from Roncesvalles on the 29th. We are both from Toronto. My first time, my friend's 4th. I can't wait and have been planning this for a year. Will look out for you. Buen Camino!
 
Think I will have to move it a bit to get over that mountain so as to catch you and your friend as you have a 2 day and 26km head start on me. Have been planning this for a year too and am really looking forward to the Camino experience. Hopefully we will meet and if not as they say......

Buen Camino ! :|
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
Happy Easter! I start walking from Pamplona in the morning of May 3, so I may meet you on the Camino. I have my patch on my bag with another patch of a walking sock monkey. I walk very "Relaxed" so I may see you! Buen Camino.
 
i'm new here, but I'll be starting a bit behind you all, on may 4th (possibly 3rd) from St. Jean. If you walk slower i might see you, but if not, Buen Camino!

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
Thanks for your help Paddy. Enjoy your Camino.
