pkonopka replied to the thread Camino Frances in September - experiences.It’s busy if you start in the beginning of Sept. crowds start falling off mid-September as most schools and unis are back in class. I walked mid-Sept to mid-Oct, SJPDP to SDC. Was perfect weather. Great company - crowded enough to have... -

Like.
You know, I didn't even begin to understand most of the discussion in this thread, yet it once again reminded me of how generous and helpful forum members are. As someone who is firmly planted at the bottom of the food chain when it comes to... -
This is the Lepoeder viewpoint, the highest point of the stage, where you can turn right and stay on a tarmac road all the way to Ibañeta Chapel. The other option to go straight down to Roncesvalles through forest is way more challenging and...

pkonopka reacted to Keith SC Butler's post in the thread You won’t regret going to Albergue Bruno in Moratinos with Like.

pkonopka replied to the thread Getting from Orisson to Roncesvalles.Yes, what was said about by others about the alternate path. It's not necessarily gentle, just better than the "left" path - which is also very rocky in places as I remember. Have a reservation at Roncesvalles, take the path to the right, and...

Perhaps start in Roncesvalles or if you start in SJPDP go the Valcarlos route. It is a steep downhill from the top of the Napoleon route. There is no actual "service" to get you down from the top once you walk up there.

pkonopka reacted to Becky 59's post in the thread LIVE from the Camino Current big wave at beginning of Francés with Like.
Zubiri was full early yesterday (by 2:30, according to some pilgrims who came to Pamplona today), but Zubiri opened up a municipal building just past the town for some pilgrims to sleep on the floor! I haven’t seen that done before. We all know...

pkonopka replied to the thread Traveling from Washington, DC to SJPP.Hi, just like the Camino itself there are many routes to get there. For me, like some on this thread, I flew in to Biarritz, and then took Express Bouricott to SJPDP. It’s easy, stress free, and you’ll start to meet fellow pilgrims immediately...

Hello and welcome Seems the most popular options are: Fly to Madrid then make your way to Pamplona and catch the bus to SJPdP next day. Fly to Paris and take a flight to Biarritz then Express Bouricott to SJ or take a train from CdG to Bayonne...
