Early morning views from Alburgue Borda.

On the move - my 12.5lb backpack becomes 16.5lbs with 4 litres of water!

Climbing slow and steady, enjoying the views.

These cuties started much later than me and very quickly caught up.

That food truck in the distance was an oasis at the half way point.

Climbing up to Collado De Lepoeder, the highest point at about 5000' - not too high.

During the descent the trail went through some beautiful Beech forests.

Finally in Roncesvalles! Only 4 more kms to my Albergue in Burguete - in Hemingway haunts.

Over the Pyrenees - From France to Spain

Day 2 to Burguete - This was a toughee!! About 14 miles slow uphill to 2500’ climb and then a fast descent. I took the longer route that was a little less steep coming down - still felt it on my knees 😀
The day before was also 2500’ climb - but in 5 miles and no descent. I much preferred that.Leer más
