Detour to San Adrian tunnel

Time of past OR future Camino
currently walking Rome to Santiago
I am on the viejo at the moment and took a detour to walk through the tunnel on Thursday. I know this was discussed in the virtual planning thread but mine was a less adventurous route as I didn't have time for the extra day to Beasin or the stamina for the hike from Zegama.
From Altsaua I took a taxi to Oztuarte (or you could walk 10km on the road) and from there there is little road about 5km that ends near the tunnel! I climbed up a hill and was on the open plain with the tunnel in sight. The marking was good lots of yellow arrows. I was thrilled to walk through the tunnel. The hiking was only 4km to the parking at Zumaraundi and then back on the road. It was quite tough and just as I was feeling pleased with myself I lost the trail. No yellow arrows and although I could see I was on the camino by my GPS I couldn't see any trail to walk on just trees and mud. Thankfully a walker appeared who showed me the way. A camino angel. From the car park it's the road to Zalduondo and then Salvatierra-Agurain.

  • Thread 'BP on the Viejo June-July 2023'

    Day 0: Pamplona I arrived to Pamplona from the Camino Baztán today. Tomorrow is my first day on the Camino Viejo and... I don't know a lot about this route. I know I should go to Hiriberri tomorrow, so I phoned the Casa rural Itigoien Etxea... several times, before they finally answered. I have a couple of guides from the Internet, @Caminka 's guide from 2012 (?) and @WestKirsty 's recent threads about the Camino from Pamplona. I wonder how all this will turn out... It seems there is very...

  • Thread 'The REAL Camino Viejo - a new project for a Camino alternative.'

    I would like to share with you a plan that I have been making in recent months to be carried out in October this year and that would not be possible without the valuable help of so many members of this forum. Thank you very much to everyone who posts quality content here. Special thanks to @WestKirsty, @caminka, @VNwalking, @peregrina2000 and several others who help with small details that help build this project. Justification: after my Camino Frances in 2017 (I'm the guy who broke my...

  • Thread 'Detailed Planning for Viejo/Olvidado from Pamplona'

    Now that I have the hang of walking virtually after taking on the Invierno, I'm going to be more ambitous: next up is the combination of the Viejo and Olvidado from Pamplona to Ponferrada. I won't go any faster then I walk here everyday, so it will take a while (weeks? months?). As I go I'll post here, to pick the brains of everyone who's already walked. First up is basic resources.... In addition to several bookmarked threads that I already have, here are my starting points as far as...
