From Vezelay to Irun

[lovingkindness]

Hello, does anyone know of a good way to connect the Le Chemin de St Jacque from Vezelay to Irun? Thanks for your consideration. Cheers, Lovingkindness

Do you mean you want to walk from Vezelay to Irun?
You can walk from St Jean to Biarritz and then on to Irun from there.

Hi, I am planning my biggest adventure yet. I am going to walk all the way from Trondheim (Nidaros), Norway to Santiago de Compostella. As I have already walked from Le Puy en Velay and down the Camino Francaise I want to try a different route, to somehow walk most of the Vezelay path then skip off to Irun. If it is easier to go as far as St Jean Pied de Port then across, perhaps that´s what I´ll do, otherwise any suggestions? God enabling, I´ll set off early August. Cheers, Lovingkindness

WhooWheee ... that is LONG trek! Have you been following the Baton from Norway to Santiago??
The first Norwegian partcipant, Trond Gilde started on his bicycle from Stiklestad in Norway on 26 February. With the baton tied to his bicycle he cycled 95 km to Trondheim where there was an exchange of the baton. The second partcipant continued on skis for the next stage from Trondheim on 27 February. On the way towards Santiago there will be many exchanges of the baton through Norway, Denmark, Germany, France and Spain.

Fantastic! Don't forget to pray this evening. Today it is the feast of St. Olav, the patron saint of Norway. (Nidaros). Buen Camino!

Last year I walked from Troyes to SJPdeP and then tried to walk out to Irun. I got as far as St Etienne de Baigarry and was planning to link into the GR10. However there weather forecast was not good for the next day and I was advised against leaving the next day as I planned because of forecast storms. I decided not to wait and instead caught the train to Bayonne and from there walked down the coast to Irun. There is supposedly a "tow path" along the river Nieve, but the tourist office in St Jean could not tell me a thing about it. The path is reasonably well marked from Bayonne to Irun. The reason I caught the train was that it appeared that I would have quite a bit of busy road walking the next day and I didn't feel like doing that.

I have my itinerary that I can send if you PM me (or email better still lovingkindness) .

Cheers, Janet
