I'm just home from this year's Camino, so of course I'm thinking of my next Camino. I know several people who are nervous about doing the Camino on their own, and might need a little assist to get started. So I was thinking about getting a group together and walking with them from SJPDP to Pamplona, then walking the Baztan up to Bayonne to do the Norte. How many days did it take you? It seems that there should be the possibility to divert to Irun?Just want to say i did the Baztan in reverse this year, and I did need to use GPS findings a couple of time. The main issue i found is the Spanish side is now exceedingly marked, but with too many arrows. This is ideal going in proper direction, but in reverse it did not give sense of "Where would they be coming from for that arrow to make sense?" which is the main navigating reverse tool. A few place in the forest section it was like a funnel collecting you to one path.
That said it was a lovely walk, and a great way to bring me from the Aragones to the Coast.

There is. I've been looking into this for my upcoming camino. I'm thinking of Pamplona to Elizondo in two days and then switching to the GR11 the next day with hopes to make Beria by night. Then on to Irun and San Sebastián.It seems that there should be the possibility to divert to Irun?
I wouldn’t dismiss Espelette-Bayone as nothing really special. At least for someone who lives in flatland USA, it was gorgeous! Though I had to walk it in constant rain, the beauty was still very obvious. I know that it’s similar terrain to the rest of the Baztán, but skipping this stage also means skipping Bayonne, but maybe @Jenny@zen has already been there.Note that the Espelette-Bayonne day is uneventful, and nothing really special, so turning from there to Hendaye/Irun you wouldn't miss much.... i do love Espelette
Gréât photos Laurie. We definitely don’t want to miss Bayonne. That’s our destination. And a lovely town. Depending on time available, we might walk the Baztan in reverse (5 days) or Voie de la Nive from SJPP (3 days). Love Basque countryside.I wouldn’t dismiss Espelette-Bayone as nothing really special.

And I do remember that there is a very nice inn around the middle somewhere, where the totally soaked Baztán Five stopped for some hot soup.
A very good option. We encountered someone doing just that.we might walk the Baztan in reverse (5 days)
