I want to have a plan in case the weather is inclement. Is there a way to avoid the nasty little descent into Zubiri ? Walk the road N135 or taxi from Alto de Erro?
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
In rain or snow I would only follow the N135 from Roncesvalles and not the path.

In dry weather I would follow the camino to Puerto de Erro where a food truck is often parked. From there walk on the verges of the N135.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
I ran across a photo of that trail that I took in 2006.

It wasn't pretty then, but wasn't as washed out.

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Not because of the weather, but because of an injury, I skipped that section in '22.

I took a local bus (from Espinal, but there are other stops as well).

Much cheaper than a taxi. I got the printed timetable from the tourist office in Roncesvalles, but you can also check it online:
