glad you have your train tickets from CDG to St. Jean.........I am trying to book mine......what did you book? I arrive in CDG 7.30pm on a sunday. All the best for your Camino. Margaret H

My only concern is money and, despite training, any injuries during the walk.

The number one injury is blisters. Read and heed the advice in the Forum!

Close behind is repetitive stress injuries. They come from doing too much. The initial adrenaline rush may lead you to believe that you can do anything. Maybe you can; a lot of walkers can push themselves with no problems. You can read about their 40km days throughout the Forum. However, avoid the hubris of seeing how far you can push yourself. If you go past the limit, you many need several days of rest to recover, or your walk may be over. No advice can tell you when enough is enough. Only you can tell. I suggest that if you have any doubt, STOP. Procrastinate. Delaying the decision on testing your limits is no vice.

Almost no one falls and injures themselves, so just be careful on uneven terrain.

Margaret,
There are NO direct trains from Paris CDG to SJPdP. The route is generally a SNCF TGV (Tres Grand Express) train from the Paris Gare Montmarnasse to Bayonne and then a regional TER train from Bayonne to SJPdP. You can see schedules up to 3 months in advance at this SNCF (French Nationl Rail Road ) link. http://www.voyages-sncf.com/. You NEED a reservation for any TGV train and It is cheaper to book the ticket well in advance. You can book both tickets ar the same time. If you take the mid morning train from Paris you can be in SJPdP by late afternoon.

Through 7 July 2012 the basic departure schedule for the local TER train is leaving Bayonne at the following times.
Bayonne/Baiona
07.48/lundi, NON fetes/ Monday, NOT holidays
08.19/mardi a dimanche, et fetes, Tuesday to Sunday, and holidays
11.51/lundi a samedi, NON fetes, Monday to Saturday, NOT holidays
15.05/tous les jours, et fetes, everyday and holidays
18.10/lundi a samedi, NON fetes, Monday to Saturday, NOT holidays
21.09/ vendredi, dimance et fetes, Friday, Sunday and holidays

All trains do NOT go every day.

Bon Voyage and Buen Camino,

Margaret aka MSPath
