  • Over the Pyrenees, day 1 hiking from St. Jean Pied de Port to Roncesvalles. EDIT---At least one person has misinterpreted my hike recap at the end of this video. I believe anyone of reasonable health can make the hike over the Pyrenees but I recommend older hikers unless very prepared for this trek stay at Orisson and do it in 2 days to have a more enjoyable experience. You will get over in 1 day but it’s somewhat difficult if not prepared.

    Heck I was 49 when I did my Camino. The elders kept passing me by. I had to stop in Orisson. I was not prepared for the first three days. After about the 20th elder passed me by with great pace, I convinced myself that I was just taking my time. That was funny.

    Nice video. I walked CF 2X- 2016 at 57 I walked all the way to Roncesvalles in 1 day - full pack. It was tough. Not fast but I made it. I was with my 21 & 22 yr old daughters & wasn't easy keeping up with them, but I did it. The 2nd time -May 2019. Just turned 60 & I stopped at Orisson. I liked that MUCH BETTER. Added bonus...How many people can say the slept in the Pyrenees??

    My wife and I walked SJPP to Roncevalles in one day without problems and we’re 63 & 62 - you don’t need to be a marathon runner just have prepared by training, be reasonably fit, ( don’t try to keep up with the youngsters) take it steady and have broken your shoe in!

    Glad I decided to book at Orission, especially as weather reports predict rain on the day I leave St. Jean.

    I’m following your Camino closely. My husband and I are contemplating the Camino for next September. I appreciate the video and pictures-and advice. I like what you said about stopping in Orisson; I think that is very wise. Buen Camino! I hope you have a wonderful journey!

    • @deboraz455
      @deboraz455 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Just so you know. You have to have a reservation if you plan on stopping in Orisson. Book online a few months in advance since it fills up fast.

    It has only been a few weeks that I am home and I miss it so much. you are so right about stopping I orison instead of going all the way to Roncesvalles. another recommendation would be to send your pack ahead both from st. jean and orison. I am 69 and a woman. the walk to orison with my pack was brutal but better to Roncesvalles without my pack. Why didn't I know there was an alternate route for an easier downhill????

    • @suehill6589
      @suehill6589 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Don't feel bad. I didn't learn about the alternate route down until I was crawling into bed that night (with severe tendonitis in my right hip). That descent was a bit brutal!

    • @DalesOutdoorAdventures
      @DalesOutdoorAdventures  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Even the alternative is steep

    I am a 59 yr female and will be hiking in two weeks. I didn't realize the weather would be so cool up there. Am a little nervous as I have already made reservations all the way through and won't be able to stop in Orisson before Roncesvalles. I also didn't get the training in that you did, but did do what I could.

    • @DalesOutdoorAdventures
      @DalesOutdoorAdventures  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Possible option is hike up call a cab back to St Jean. Then take a cab back to that spot the next day. Or just give it hell and go over in 1 day! I had to change my dates due to a hurricane coming to Florida and the municipal albergue in Roncesvalles changed mine via email

    • @deboraz455
      @deboraz455 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Diane. An option is to take a day back with you and send your full pack ahead for 5Euro. Super easy & safe. Just keep your Passport and $ with you. If you have any last min questions feel free to email. I'd be glad to share some tips. My email is dmlinohio2@yahoo.com Buen Camino Debora

      I had a perfect weather day and trained hard beforehand and still had to dig deep. It was difficult. The next days into Zubiri and Pamplona I was just cruising

  • @Joyseeker

    (route = root = way) I was very impressed with your first day efforts. I'm planning on Orisson for Nite 1 as I buggered my tendon in training with 10mls and 10kg pack on a flat..... it's me age and being a couch potatoe. Efren here th-cam.com/video/VNpuP_6deIo/w-d-xo.html is a daily Camino Vlogger too. Best. (Your pack does look heavy and over the next 100mls Efren started getting rid of gear).

    • @DalesOutdoorAdventures
      @DalesOutdoorAdventures  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I subscribe to Efren. He is very talented and has the cameras and drones and other gear to match that talent. My pack is less then 16 lbs between 7-8 kgs and isn’t any problem. It probably looks big because it’s a 48 liter pack but isn’t full.

      dave thanks. These were filmed edited that night and posted to TH-cam within 48 hours of each day. That’s why there is no music and very basic editing.
