So happy to report we flew from Denver to London Gatwick on Norwegian and then from Gatwick to Biarritz on Easy Jet and we were able to take our backpacks on board as carry on and our sets of walking poles in my husband’s backpack with no problems and no need to check bags. The shuttle by Express Bourricot from the Biarritz airport to St.Jean was very nice but you have To have booked a reservation for this.Hope this helps because I had a lot of concerns beforehand. We are having dinner now in St Jean and heading out tomorrow morning!!!The pilgrim office is amazing. So so very helpful and we filled our water bottles up, got our shells and lots of information about the route and the albuergues.

Hi, Alvin, and welcome to the forum.

Feel free to start a unique thread with any questions and concerns you have; you will have a better response.

Another thing is that this forum has a search engine and a huge database of subjects which are available for you to explore at your leisure. For example: If you plug the question "Where should I start the Camino Norte?" into the search engine, you will get a large number of threads on this topic to read through.

We are here to help and encourage you. And believe me, feeling overwhelmed and anxious are common emotions that a goodly percentage of forum members have experienced as beginners... and even repeaters .

3. Click on that button.
4. A sub menu will open. It is labeled "Post Thread In...." The menu lists all of the various sub forums.
