I made it! Up the first hill to Borda
2025年4月11日, フランス ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
That was tough. Lots of uphill. About 2500’ gain today. This place is nice! Dorms but all new. And quite a view.
Some people do twice as far on the first day. But for me, this was a good start.もっと詳しく
Route Napoleon

Made it to 3500 feet. Still several hours to go today. But it should flatten out a little more no rain forecast so that’s good. The wind is pretty severe.
Very close to the top!

Little snack truck down below where I got a banana and some cheese that the man had made he says. I thought it was pretty tasty. I sure am hoping I’m close to the top now. Kind of a cool forest hereもっと詳しく
Closer yet, to the top

Feet are feeling good though, see photo number two
Downhill into Roncesvalles

This path is always changing. It seems like every couple minutes the surface or the environment will change and usually beautiful.
The surface I’m walking on can be several different types of mud,もっと詳しく
旅行者So interesting! Thanks for explaining the different paths and for the pictures. I was wondering if you are usually walking alone or do you see many other pilgrims? Such a cute horse! ❤️
