Very wet in Roncesvalles

The well dressed (and still dry pilgrim).

A very hard first day, I think it's meant to sort the men & women from the boys & girls!



Once again (same as 2013) my level of fitness on hills is seriously lacking. Prior knowledge allowed me to avoid one particularly steep section at the cost of more km.

Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very wet!


A good soaking rain from when we started to when we finished!! Gore-tex although good does not cope with this sort of rain! Thank goodness we had backpack covers (which we did not have last time) which failed to be 100% effective but they helped.  The dry bags for the important stuff worked well thank goodness.
Once again our packs are far too full.  When I get to Pamplona I might post some stuff to Lo in the UK.
Not many photos to share as the weather was too bad to take many.  But here are the ones we took:

Goat's Cheese, my man!
