This will only make sense to Irish readers. A Twitter acquaintance said that staying at Orisson is like driving from Dublin to Cork and staying overnight in Naas

I'd die trying to walk all the way to Roncesvalles in one day. I've always stayed at either Orisson, Valcarlos or a couple of times at Huntto. Which is only about 5km out of SJPDP but those km are all up hill, and every bit helps!
Stayed at Morrison last year ...
Wow, I thought he came back
Nice typo though!

Crossing the Pyrenees is not like driving anywhere...
Climbing 1200 m and descending another 500 m on Day 1 of a 500 mile journey can be very tough for the underprepared, and the overnight stay at Orisson reduces the risk of a camino-ending injury on the first day.
Don't be worried. Two years ago on my 72nd birthday I did the whole distance with a break at the top where several kind Peregrinos sang happy Birthday to me. Looking forward to seeing you this year at Orisson.I've booked orisson and I'm still worried about the following day from there to Roncesvalles.
Oh no! I plan to stay there in a few weeks' time. Is it bearable?This will only make sense to Irish readers. A Twitter acquaintance said that staying at Orisson is like driving from Dublin to Cork and staying overnight in Naas

It's a nice place and the food is good. And it doesn't hurt that the owners have a delightful sense of humor.Oh no! I plan to stay there in a few weeks' time. Is it bearable?
Yes, that's what I thought. It is not a very long walk but will just take the edge off that trek on day 2. How is the weather at this time in the Pyrenees?It's a nice place and the food is good. And it doesn't hurt that the owners have a delightful sense of humor.
Equally important, stopping at Orisson is a nice way to ease into walking. Breaking early on the first day, giving your feet time to rest, may prevent problems that could follow you all the way to Santiago.

Well done, Sleuth!I'm not sure it takes the 'Brains of an Archbishop' (or an Irish person) to work out the analogy having looked at a map
It is another 8 km to where the path leaves the road. If needed, Orisson can order a cab to take you to this spot, then there is 10 km left to Roncesvalles. Most paths are also small roads. I did have one car pass by while up there. Make sure to take the path DOWN to the RIGHT, NOT the left path which is very rocky and steep. Remember, it is not a race, lol.I've booked orisson and I'm still worried about the following day from there to Roncesvalles.

That sounds great. I have booked to stay there on 20th April and am now looking forward to it even more. Do you think there will be snow on the way over the hills. Feel slightly anxious about the weather as it is so cold just now.In my experience, stopping at Orisson is one of the best parts to the Camino. Walked the Camino in 2013, only fairly fit, I was really glad I had decided to break the Pyrenees into two stages. Walked it in 2016, starting in Le Puy, and was in fantastic shape by the time I got to SJPDP. The walk to Orisson was very easy that year and I was surprised at how quickly I arrived. But, both times, having a beer (or two) on their deck, soaking in the Pyrenees, was wonderful, and the communal meal, where everyone introduced themselves, was inspiring. I met my Camino family in Orisson both times and kept bumping into members all the way to Santiago. I wouldn't skip Orisson for the world.
I'm puzzled at those who are unprepared
good analogy!!This will only make sense to Irish readers. A Twitter acquaintance said that staying at Orisson is like driving from Dublin to Cork and staying overnight in Naas
