LIVE from the Camino CF day 1, off to a great start!

[SFHiker]

Left Saint Jean this morning at 7am. Got to Roncesvalles just before 1:30. Weather was clear and beautiful!
I didn't pre book, and was able to get a bed. I did hear they were all full by 4pm though.
Very happy with my first day on the Camino!

Did you go the way of Napoleon?

Very fast pace!

Did you go the way of Napoleon?

Yes I did. Clear blue skies and barely any wind!

Very fast pace!

I'm an avid hiker and love a good incline!

Great to hear. I’m the same and am hoping the weather holds for my day one on April 28.

Hi SF Hiker,
Wow, that's amazing, are you a daily hiker?
My husband and I are scheduled to hike the Same route on May 1st. My question to you is which route did you take? I heard the Napoleon route was closed due to snow. Many thx

I took Nepoleon. It's open but the few days before I started there was heavy rain and visibility was nothing! I've met several people that went over the day before me and they say it was terrible!
