Voie de la Nive

[Thorny]

Hello all,
I am just checking back to see if anyone has done the Voie de la Nive this year from Bayonne to SJPP.
I am planning on walking it in september and would like to ask some questions.
Thanks

I walked it from SJPP to Bayonne in May 2014. Happy to answer any questions if I can.

Hello again Kiwi family. Thanks for your reply to my earlier thread. The information you gave me will be very helpful .
I was hoping to connect with someone that had walked (or cycled) the trail this year.
I intend to take many photos and document my time on the Voie de la Nive to make things a bit easier on future hikers.
I see you are looking for tents . I like the Z-pack triplex 3 person tent. It only weighs 24 oz.

Thanks for the heads-up on the Triplex - one wee question....do you ever find the footprint is too big and you can't find a pitch large enough?
By the way, I'd quite like to go back and take photos on the Voie de la Nive for the very same reason. I'd hope on my second walk I would not take so many wrong turnings;-)
If it's of any assistance at all, here are my blog posts for that part of the walk (note we detoured off to Espelette for accommodation instead of Ustaritz)
