Safe walking the long uphill climb today! We left SJPDP Tuesday from Albergue that was about 1km outside the city, on the napoleon route. We were unable to get a place in Orisson or Borda for the night so we pushed through to Roncevallas. Beautiful walk but very difficult. It took us 12 hours with three changes of socks from rain and mud. The staff at Roncevallas Albuerge were so welcoming and helpful. We managed to get dinner and quick shower before the lights went out. It was pretty cold and no blankets were provided so we layered our clothing to stay warm. Yesterday was a shorter 12 km day while still recovering from Tuesdays 22 km climb, and grueling 3 km downhill. Buen Camino
I was just in Bordeaux today coming back from Paris. I did a 13km walk all through the night from the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre and then to Notre Dame and back to the Eiffel Tower again until it started raining a little bit. I got some great pics as it was pretty dead in the city after 2am. I’m back in Caussens now. I did the Camino up here through Condom and it’s been raining and cold every day for at least 2 weeks. My shoes were so muddy they felt like I was walking with heavy bricks. I hope your weather is a lot better!!
I start today also, walking to Bayonne to join the Camino del Norte. We seem to be fortunate with the weather as it has been raining most days until now but hopefully it'll be drier from now on. Buen Camino!
Buen Camino! I'll be starting next Tuesday. Question about clothes: Im trying to do as light as I can, do you think a fleece and a quick dry longsleeve shirt will be enough to wear to get over the pyrenes and onwards? Or will it be too cold?
Hard to predict with how quick the weather shifts but for now it's forecasting 70 degrees. That's basically what I wore with my shorts today and it was fine in the high 50s much of the day.
Buen Camino
great vid! Very helpful. I start next weekend and I am staying in the same place!

I think we're 2 days behind you. We just arrived in Roncesvalles.
@@TheCaminoGuide we're taking it slow with shorter distances now so you'll probably pass us at some point. Should make it to Pamplona on Saturday.
We will be in Pamplona on Saturday also
Maybe our paths will cross in Pamplona 🌝@@TheCaminoGuide

Hello! Buen Camino to you and to your boys Greg
Buen Camino! It helps that you are not starting at the start of a month, which can be more crowded. Looking forward to your coverage Greg! :)
I start today also, walking to Bayonne to join the Camino del Norte. We seem to be fortunate with the weather as it has been raining most days until now but hopefully it'll be drier from now on. Buen Camino!
The weather is supposed to be nice for the next few days. 🤞
Hello Eric!!
Buen Camino! I'll be starting next Tuesday. Question about clothes: Im trying to do as light as I can, do you think a fleece and a quick dry longsleeve shirt will be enough to wear to get over the pyrenes and onwards? Or will it be too cold?
