I'm leaving St Jean the day before you, 19 April, and will be taking the lower route via Valcarlos. No doubt our paths will cross, save me some birthday cake! Buen Camino.

Hey Clive - would be great if you could post what you thought of the walk through to Valcarlos. I've heard that the trail used to be overgrown and a bit hard to find so hopefully it will be better now.

No, the trail is good. Well, it was last year.

Whatever the season or weather it is important to remember that beyond Valcarlos there are neither services nor water until Roncesvalles. Be prepared!

Good luck and Buen camino!
