About this route

1
  • Monday, August 9, 2004 - Stage 1: St. Jean-Pied de Port - Roncesvalles 27 km on the route (48 km and 1500 m climbed due to route error) Departure in rain and fog After collecting the pilgrim's 'Credencial', we departed around noon. Instead of taking the valley bottom road, recommended in bad weather, due to incorrect information, we took the high path of the route. When we realized the mistake, we were already too far along, and unable to continue, we turned back (on incorrect instruction from a refuge keeper) to an 'alternative' mountain route which brought us to Roncesvalles late in the evening, adding 21 km to the original route. We found lodging in a container and met Joserra, a Basque friend we would meet again later.
