- Time of past OR future Camino
- currently walking Rome to Santiago
I've just finished walking Toulouse to Jaca on my pilgrimage from Rome to Santiago which I'm in doing gradually 3 weeks at a time.
I spent a lot of time reading the posts about this section and really appreciated @Juspassinthru live updates who was doing this section when I arrived in Toulouse April 3rd.
Day 1. Oloron to Bedous (16th April)
I decided not to walk the GR either side of Sarrance, it sounded pretty slippery when @Juspassinthru walked it and had rained since then. I followed the GR out of town along quiet roads, the GR veered off into woods and fields at times, it was raining and I just stayed on the road which was quiet. I got to Lurbe-St Christau late morning. I planned to get the train to Sarrance, visit the monestary, walk on the main road for a couple of km then back on the GR to Bedous. By the time the train came, an hour later, it was still raining, I was cold and fed up and the rest of the days hiking was abandoned in favour of the train direct to Bedous. I stayed in a great B & B Chez Michel. Bedous is a lovely village and I had a relaxing afternoon. Will post daily otherwise this will be long.
