I arrive in Paris/CDG in less than two weeks and have two hours to catch a train at TGV-2 to Bayonne. I can carry everyone I have as carry-on, except my trekking poles (I plan to purchase a set in France or Spain).

I know the new equipment shop will be open in Pamplona -- my planned starting point if the Pyrenees are impassable on foot.

Does anyone know of the Boutique du Pelerin or another equipment shop will be open in St. Jean -- my planned starting point if the Pyrenees are passable on foot (fingers crossed)?

And what would Pierre's user ID be, if one wanted to look him up?

. I thought you might ask that! He posted on the Equipment Thread about 2 weeks ago. Have a look in that section.

Have you any idea how many threads are in the equipment section? I will be like OLD by the time I finish browsing.

Oh well, the least the main web site for both shops: http://www.directioncompostelle.com/directioncompostelle/index.html has a contact function to send a message to Pierre.
