My sister and I have a booking for 24th September, so they are open till then at least. Buen Camino!Hi all. Starting in October 2019, does anybody know if Refuge Orrison is open then?
Also is it advisable to book all accommodation for the trip?
TIA
is it advisable to book all accommodation for the trip?
Namaste AlwynNo, not at all, in my humble (and I be ever so humble) opinion.
Walking is not a precise science. Over a month, or longer, our legs, not to mention our mind, body and soul, will need a rest. We don't always know in advance just when that will be. On the way we may encounter something we wont to tarry over. And something our planning suggests we should tarry over quickly becomes a disappointment and we quickly move on.
When driving it is easy to spend one more hour to catch up last time and be, say, 50 km further along. When walking that is two or so days walking.
What some do is ring ahead in the morning, when there is some idea of what the day will bring.
@Kayezee , for your pilgrimage, kia kaha (take care, be strong, get going)
should be open - although they may close a little early if they are getting little custom....
In any case you probably should try to book well before and they will tell you if they will not be open when you want to be walking - email them at refuge.orisson@wanadoo.fr
