Pre Walk Note

On or about the 5th of August, 2009, my nephew Jonathon and I, will set out from St Jean Pied de Port in France, making the trek across the foothills of the Pyrennes mountains into Spain. I made the same walk this time last year along the Camino Frances. However, unlike last year, we will turn right at the city of Pamplona or Logrono and head north for Bilbao, home of the Guggenheim Museum. At Bilbao, I will say adios to Jonathon who will fly home from there, and then continue on alone along the north coast toward Santiago on my own. I hear its hot in Spain this year, but hopefully coastal breezes will help to keep things manageable. This is the road less travelled, so it may be more difficult to make posts and find places to stay.... so if you like, stay tuned and I'll do my best to keep you informed about my adventures on the Camino del Norte!
