    Roncesvalles... is just not for me

    Sorry to read your experience in Roncesvalles ,for myself I've stayed twice probably more grateful now I'm sitting in the comfort of home surroundings in Scotland. The numbers of pilgrims passing daily must be daunting for the new and regular volunteers .As a pilgrim who doesn't speak French...

    Need to abandon walk!

    Maybe have a rethink and have some rest and recuperation with a few stages ahead, bus and rest, for a good few stages and hopefully the feet will be in a better condition for your remaining camino . Good luck whatever you decide. Buen Camino.
