Just a quick follow up to the last thread I posted regarding horrendous conditions in and out of Roncesvalles.

I am currently in pamplona and just spoke with another pilgrim. I pray to God he's wrong but he told me they closed the route between St Jean and Roncesvalles completely just after I did it due to the death of a pilgrim. I have to say if this is true I'm not surprised. There were moments I seriously worried for my own safety.

It's also close to impossible to take any paths due to ridiculous amounts of water. The path out of Zubiri was totally under water. The main road is really the only option right now.

Snow is forecast overnight here so fingers crossed the path is clear tomorrow. It's all fun and games on the Camino at the moment. But loving it!
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
Be safe and don’t take any chances, the Camino will stil be there when the weather abates.
 
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.
Please be prudent. I’m sure the original Peregrinos would not have been in such a hurry as to endanger themselves . Just stay dry warm and take the time to search your inner self to know your reason for being in the Camino . As many say,” the Camino is the journey more than the destination.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Leon is under 5ft of snow right now, you should see the news, its like the Lapland. Anywhere north is just flooded, the storm here in llanes last night was incredible with hail stones the size of golf balls. Not a good time to be on the Camino, find an albergue and stay put is my advice.
