My friends are starting in pamplona on may 20th. I am considering flying into paris on 16th taking train to st jean and then starting the hike from st jean to pamplona on 18th. If I am running late and will not make it pamplona to meet my friends on the night of the 21st if there a bus or taxi system I could use either from Roncesvalles or Larrasoana??? I can not find any info on this..

Depending on whether you are going to add a night by stopping at Orisson to cross the Pyrenees via the Route de Napoleon, or do SJPdP to Roncevalles in one day, either via this route or Valcarlos and the valley road, you should be able to make Pamplona straightforwardly in the 4 days to the evening of 21st.

However, would definitely recommend that you consider Zubiri as stopping point rather than Larrasoana. Those that proceeded extra 6k ahead of us to Larrasoana were very disappointed with accommodation on offer and Zubiri, where Pension Zaldiki is good value, offers better choice. Beyond Larrasoana the route parallels the main Pamplona road if you decide you need to jump on public transport or call a taxi en route.
