The forecast looks rather good for the 17th - sunny skies all day. I will try the Napoleon route if possible. I am hoping to go a little further to Burguete

Read that it's likely to be very busy so will see where my legs can take me. Not had the best preperation last week or so!
 
IdaD,

How’s the numbers arrive at St Jean tomorrow. Miscalculated how busy Easter April May be.

Roncevalles was full last night. I heard some people had to stay in the hotel instead of the albergue. Don't know how accurate that was. Today in Zubiri it was third time lucky finding a place. Alburgue Etapa on the main street. A great place. There does seem to be a lot of Spanish but I don't know if this is normal or not. Good luck!
 
Buen Camino to all. I'm at home. I finished on Wednesday. I started at 2th April from Burgos. And I have only 4 days without rain. Wish you good luck and enjoy the road. Buen Camino.
 
You were unlucky with the weather. I started from SJdP on 17th April and have now reached Burgos. So far only 20 minutes of rain perhaps because I bought a poncho

Hi Vaughan started the same day as you and called it a day at Burgos on Sunday. The first 5 days were all a Camino should not be, so stressful as my mistake hadn’t taken into account the extra number of people walking over Easter. The infrastructure couldn’t cope. I’m stubborn and refused to prebook a bed and 2nd day had to walk 38k to find one. That did my feet no favours. By Tuesday after Easter weekend the numbers dramatically calmed down to what you would expect.
 
Sorry to hear that. There were some problems in the first week with one big algurgue closed - I think 82 beds lost as a result, plus Easter as you say. I have now reached Carrion de los Condes and it is much quieter. Maybe you can restart another time? The weather is now wonderfully sunny if a little cold in the mornings.
 
I was only ever going to do about 2 weeks plus so Burgos was a sensible logistical place to pull off as I could get a coach to Bilbao and €57 flight to London booked 48 hrs before I flew.
I did not stop at Burgos because how busy it was, it dramatically quietened down by the Tuesday after Easter.
Buen Camino
