My wife and I probably will start also around the 15th of May in Irun or Hondiribia,perhaps we will meet somewhere. Buen camino

I am starting the Norte from Bilbao on 13 may after the European Rugby Championship. You will surely be passing me some time during the month.

I too will be walking on May 5, 2018 but starting from Madrid and going north to connect to other caminos before making our way on the Primitivo.

I will be starting the Norte on the 24th of May and hope that our paths will cross. I have a few years on you so you will probably fly by me but if you see an old, grey headed lady-wave!!

I'm nearly 70 and we are departing from San Sebastian on May 14. Hope to see some of you along the way. I will be the older lady with fat legs huffing and puffing up the hills.

The plan is to take a train from Paris to heday and then just start walking. Does this make sense?

brianne fitgerald,

Welcome to the forum!

Talking the TGV train from Paris Montparnase to Hendaye is a great idea.

Since you may be walking from the Hendaye gare/rr station to Irun do plan to stop at the small bar/resto Chez Alain on the way at 11 ave d'Espagne. They are most friendly and do a very good daily menu for 13.50 euros. If you wish you can even take a shower for free! The place is a routiers or truck stop but in no way hyper macho; I loved it! See more here http://restoroutier.free.fr/fiche_64_hendaye.htm

For more on walking from the Hendaye rr station over the international foot bridge to Irun see the posts/links in this
earlier thread.

Take care and do let all your new forum friends know how your journey goes.

Bon chemin and Buen camino!

Looking at schedules I see the Paris train arrives later in the afternoon. Is it better to remain in Hendaye or walk to irun (how long is the walk and get a room there??? Thanks to you all

The walk from Hendaye station into Irun across the international bridge will take less than an hour.

Hi Bianne and everyone. I have completed, the camino (frances) 3 times. This time I am choosing to go the Norte. I'll begin my walk on 30 May. Hoping to link up as Ive heard that the Norte can be a solitary walk.

 

[brianne fitzgerald]

The Camino will provide. I am old enough to realize options should I get too lonely. I start may 8, once I pull the trigger on my flight across the pond

No worries, it is a solitary walk right now, but it won't be very solitary anymore by the end of May...
