I have done that, credential, no more 5 to 10 minutes, 6 to 8 hours on trail, very doable, you will catch and pass a lot of slow walkers, or ever chat to them to get them to finish, you will be on a high when you reach roncesvalles, Buen caminoI will be arriving in SJPP on the 7:45 train from Bayonne. It arrives at 9:04. Do I have time to get my credentials and then make it at a decent pace to Roncesvalles? Sunset is at 8:15. What is the latest one should leave SJPP?
I have no idea how long the process is at the pilgrim's office. I have no idea the weather conditions. I just have no idea...

If you decide to walk "only" to Huntto or Orisson the first day you arrive, here you can find contact details for making reservation:

Maybe this is not a bad idea. It gives you a good portion of time for quick sight-seeing in Saint Jean, to buy some stuff you might need in next two days (if you take the Napoleon route the first market is after Roncesvalles just as you enter Burguete but opens at 9am if I remember correctly), visit to the Pilgrims office, nice breakfast etc.
Ultreia!
I tried to book at Orisson for next week, and they are full. That is actually why I am questioning doing the whole walk in one day.Thank you for this information. I for one do NOT plan to walk the entire first stage and hope to stop at Orisson. Do you think making a reservation is necessary to get a bed? I was rather hoping to go low tech and just sleep where I arrive but perhaps I am being wrecklessly optimistic? I plan to walk far but slowly and not race, in particular not pay any attention to the "stages" and stop when I want...Cheers!
Oy! Booked up a week in advance?? Wow...I will have to rethink my plans for May 2014 - thanks so much for the heads upI tried to book at Orisson for next week, and they are full. That is actually why I am questioning doing the whole walk in one day.
I don't know if things have changed, but the last time I was in Orisson, there was a "tent section" that is done on a first come first serve basis, no reservations possible for those. I think they are for two people and there are pads on the tent floor so you don't need to have one. I heard no complaints from people who slept there.
