Roncevalles to Larrasoana

Another early start on the road but this appears to be the norm for Camino pilgrims. A much better day both weather wise and terrain wise. The SBF30 went on today and the forecast for the next few days is very warm.

Today I’ve been walking for a time with a Dutch Indonesian guy who I had first met on the train from Bayonne to SJPP last Thursday. Coincidentally we met up at dinner last night and shared a table with a Brazilian couple. I caught up with him this morning shortly after leaving Roncevalles but his willpower faded late morning and I continued without him.

It seems you quickly make friendships on this walk but they can be quite short-lived as you each move at different speeds each day. A new friendship can come along one day and gone the next but in that brief moment you’ve discovered a lot about that other person.

Few photos today – the road sign is self-explanatory as is the Basque mural, the stone sign is what we’re following and the view of the road is looking back through the mist yesterday.

Tomorrow I’m heading for Pamplona where I might stay two nights.

  1. Hello Bob. It sounds as though you’re cracking on ok. Found any pubs selling Harvey’s on the way?

  2. Well done so far, how do you feel in yourself? Hope your feet and legs are doing well. Does much of the path seem to follow the roads or is it more off road walking?
