I am planning to walk from Pamplona to St. Jean. Would the route be easy to follow?

Yes. Just keep walking towards all the people walking the other way. A large placard stating "I'm not lost, just contrarian" might come in useful. Any of the standard apps will keep you on track and won't give a monkey's which way you are walking.I am planning to walk from Pamplona to St. Jean. Would the route be easy to follow?
Spend the night in Burguete, when you get to Roncesvalles I recommend taking the road up over the mountain beautiful views of the church.I am planning to walk from Pamplona to St. Jean. Would the route be easy to follow?
Daring and insightful exercise Camino buen reversed on purposeExcept the ones who settled in the various Villafrancas, or were settled in the Xardín do Cemiterio de San Frutuoso.
You are correct amigo @astronwolf that medieval pilgrims had to walk home and would have often followed the route by which they arrived in Santiago. There would have been little surprise among the outward-bound at encountering a homeward bound pilgrim. A little jealousy perhaps but not surprise. The exchanges between the in-bound and the out-bound in the Hospitals along the routes must have been fascinating. "Watch out for bed-bugs Samos; mad dogs in Foncebadon; the toll-collectors at Puente de Reina". In this modern age of tick-box, one-way, camino the contrarian is likely to encounter astonishment. Why walk when there is a perfectly good airport at Santiago?
