CaminoKevin reacted to trecile's post in the thread Weather forecast Roncesvalles coming days with
Like.
The forecast doesn't look that bad to me. I have certainly been up there in worse weather. Don't change your plans, just follow the guidance of the pilgrim office and the staff at Orisson. There is very little chance (almost zero chance) that... -

Love - Red heart.
My opinion (among the many posted here) is for (you) to place DRAMATIC limits on your 'online' time.... TRY to limit your tele to phone calls (home) & to connect to fellow peregrinos to coordinate meet-ups, and navigation..... Try NOT to go on... -
