New mountain rescue vehicle for Roncesvalles route

[Bradypus]

An interesting little snippet of news. The local bomberos in Burguete have just acquired a new all-terrain vehicle which should allow them access to off-road sections of the Camino even in snow. This is in response to an increasing number of rescue calls from pilgrims during the winter months. It is sad that this should be necessary but good to know that the service is there if required.

Good to see I always wondered why I never saw any sign of snow mobiles even with the locals. The upper ridges would be beautiful in the winter & much space to ride.
