We arrive at 12.50 and like to take the transfer to SJPP by Bourricot express. Are there more people who are arriving that time? Then we can share tue price ; )
Thanks!

@Yellowfriend, there will be a good chance that others will join you, just keep an eye on the Bourricot express website, you'll find it's updated every week or so to reflect passenger numbers.
Remember that not everyone arriving at your time will be a member of the forum.
I have used this service and it's excellent.

@Yellowfriend I had the same experience as Waka on arrival in Biaritz.The shuttle ended up full. The forum is not used by the majority of pilgrims.

Yellowfriend Be Prepared!!!! May 1 is a National Holiday in France hostals, restaurants will be open the rest of the country is shut down trains and buses at a minimum further,April 30 falls in the middle of long holiday weekend. It is not the most auspicious time to land in France of Spain, I would try and arrive several days ear;lier or several later in order to avoid disappointments and frustrations.

I agree with Scuffy1. As I read this forum, I am struck by the number of people who want to start walking on 1st May. This will create a "bottleneck" somewhere. It seems a good plan to choose a slightly later start.
