Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Sil is right.
Bus to Logrono to Hendaye, then Biarritz.
The idea of walking back from Roncesvalles to SJPP is romantic, but impractical.
SJPP to Logrono is a very realistic plan for 7 days of walking. We walked a little shorter distances each day (23 - 25 kms) from SJPP to Logrono because we were not in shape, but after Logrono we found our stride and sped up to average 28 kms per day.

Yes,it depends on your time frame, and Ed doesn't have too much to spare if destination is goal so forget the "romance", and skilsaw is correct to highlight this
However I think it's an option for consideration for walkers / pilgrims who use public transport to get to Roncavelles, whether they are starting or finishing their Camino.
Leaving Roncavelles the walk up through the woods is a good test for your wits as you are travelling in opposite direction and as you climb you keep looking back to see if markers are visible for your descent next morning, although the path is there you must be observant. Assuming the weather is favourable and you get to St. J de P you don't feel under pressure next morning to walk back down this Napolean route through the woods, you can always veer right if conditions are not suitable for walk through woods.
All going well you should cover the ground to Logrono within the week.

Buen Camino.

Getting to Lorgano I dont think will be the problem, its the geting back to make a flight connection in Biarritz thats the problem and I dont speak spanish but I dont see that as a problem either I will figure it out when I need help. I hope that when I use some refuges along the way other pilgrims will be able to give me the benifit of their advice and when I make it back I will be able to forward any useful tips I recieve along the way. Dont give up somebody must have done this due to time constraints.
