Hello all,
After completing SJPDP to Santiago last year I'm planning the next walk. I had an idea this morning that it may be usefull to start from Pau. A few reasons;
It adds a little more to the already long walk.. (Yes I know, SJPDP to Santiago is already plenty long enough ... Laugh).
Pau may also be easier to get to from Australia. Flight to Paris then fast train to Pau. Done as opposed to Paris to Biarritz then bus to Bayonne then train to SJPDP. Adds quite a bit to an already long trip from Australia.
But here is my problem I have been doing some searching this afternoon and cannot find a map with Pau on any french route. Can't find too many maps of routes in France at all actually compared to the amount of info and maps of the Camino once you are in Spain.. Ok maybe I'm having a bad day.
I know there is a route through Navareenx but I think that continue to Somport I may be wrong, I don't want to go over Somport because I prefer Roncesvalles and intend to see family in Pamplona.
So, has anyone walked from Pau? I thinks its about 100kms to SJPDP so 3 to 4 days I imagine? Any suggestions on stages between Pau and SJPDP.
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Pablo
