Hola!
I started from SJPP on 27th. Stopped at Orisson, then to Roncesvalles. Impressions: fabulous scenery in the mountains, lots of people walking much faster than I walk. Good for them.
I took the forest track down to Roncesvalles and regretted it. With poles it is ok but slow. The road would have been the preferable option. I think it took me 85 minutes from Col Lepoeder.
Stayed at the wonderful alburgue at Roncesvalles. Clean and each bed space is semi private. Nice.
Then decided to split the trip to Pamplona into three stages. First to Bizkaretta, stayed in the El La pension. 13km
Then to Larasoana. Via a stop at Zubiri. 15km. Hot day. Less hills though.
Then Pamplona. A rest day here. A blister forming in smallest toe. Treated.
More details and photos on https://walkdontrun.travel.blog
I continue to learn more Spanish. People are tolerant.
The fellow walkers are generous, open and supportive. Enjoying the whole experience.
The info from this forum has helped my preparation hugely.
Buen Camino
Andrew
