Several have died in the last decade. That fact can make it easier to grasp!I know the weather could be vile, but I have yet to really grasp the concept,
Thanks for the info Kanga. I was thinking of vests but didn't want the extra items lol - thanks for the tip re strips from Bunnings - I never would have thought of that. Will buy some and plaster the poles the boys as well lol. Actually, something like this might not be a bad idea for the days walking on the road when it is raining or grey... Or do you think it is overkill?@Gumba the walk from SJPDP to Valcarlos is quite easy and if you can take the path the whole way - a delightful introduction to the Camino. The albergue at Valcarlos is also excellent. The following day, the walk from Valcarlos to Roncesvalles, is quite tough but not too far. From your comments you have obviously researched the walk, and as you say the road is quite narrow in places, but traffic is light. Consider some reflective strips on clothing and/or walking poles (cheap rolls available from Bunnings) or reflective vests on your lead/last person.
Thanks Kanga, hadn't considered Madrid. I will look in to it. Yes, East Coast. I would prefer to start at Roncesvalles but hubby has his heart set on starting at SJ. Will give it more thought.
"Keep in mind that in March the weather may be awful. Even the road to Valcarlos is unpleasant with snow and snowplows!"
Thanks for the input Flacon. This has me worried... To be honest, I know the weather could be vile, but I have yet to really grasp the concept, coming from a warm climate....
Ooohhh, do you know is travel times and how he is getting to SJ? How dong will it take from Barcelona to SJ? Is he flying from Perth to Barcelona? Hope he has a wonderful time.My son has just booked flight to Barcelona and will train to Pamplona and bus to st Jean.
