Getting a ruck sac taken on to next village

[bryans]

How can you get a ruc sac taken on to the next village and in particulkar from SJDP to Roncesvalles.
We have already booked hostals in both villages so basically want a rucsac transported from SJDP to Roncesvalles.

Tell the hospitalero when you check in. He will arrange it.

There's an actual "mochila" (backpack) taxi service on the Frances that simply shuttles bags around for pilgrims. I can't remember the name, and can't say for sure if it runs the entire length of the CF, but I read about it online at one point and then saw some of the taxis in one of the towns along the CF.

Here are the links to the two companies I have seen most often on the Camino Frances/GR 65. Since you are talking about St. Jean to Roncesvalles, you'll probably need the French company.

(from Le Puy to Roncesvalles/Roncevaux)

As Falcon says, it's easy to arrange. You simply call them the night before, fill out a form and leave your 7 euros in the envelope they provide, and the bags will be transported to the destination you have specified. The only drawback is that once you send your bag to a town, you lose the flexibility to change your mind.

I've never used these companies, but a woman I've walked with used them periodically and was always very happy with their services. Buen camino, Laurie
