Hello Trish! If you feel inclined to start your walk with someone, I would like that too. I hope only to be going as far as the Refuge Orisson on 20th and, at 60, I will plod along more slowly than others, but just to set out with someone and have that first photo taken would be nice. What are your plans for Day 1? Kay

Hi Kay. Im staying in gite azkorria on the 19th . I don't have any firm plans for the 20th other than not to get up at silly O'clock. I do plan on taking it easy on the 1st day which is why i booked a bed at orisson . Apparently its quite a climb so i won't be trying to break any records. Where are you flying from?

I fly into Biarritz on 18th, from Australia via London, and will stay two nights at Maison Ziberoa in SJPP. Haven't had a response from Orisson yet, but if I can stay there, I thought I may not need to start walking until about 10am. Perhaps we could meet at the Camino passport office on the 19th? 3pm?

 

[Trishkerry]

Kay. I won't get into Sjpdp until 7.30 pm. I will need an hour to find hotel and dump my bag so could meet at between 8.30/9 pm at pilgrims office ?

Hi Trish. Let's stay in touch this way for a few days, as i may need to start early on 20th after all. Still hopeful, but haven't heard from Orisson yet and am thinking I may have to walk to Roncesvalles on 20th. :?

Hi Trish. Success with Orisson! Can we meet on morning of 20th as I think jet lag will have me asleep by 7.30pm 19th. We could meet at The Start at say 10? (When we know the lie of the land, we may work out where our "start" is.)

 

[Trishkerry]

oh that's great Kay. We could meet at the pilgrim office at 10 just in case i cant work out exactly where the start is. Im soooo excited. see you soon. x

Excellent! The pilgrim office at 10am. Me too - SO excited!
