OK..so where to start? Robert's message...Arzacq- st jean Pde P

[p.pannevis]

Dear all,

The section mentioned is to my knowledge very well indicated!
However the road (the GR 65) is tough on you! Indeed it is one of the
"nastier" parts (but who said it should be easy on you?). As long as you
have a compass and the Topo guide as mentioned, you cannot fall into much
harm. If you speak French, you would enjoy the guides by Mr. Laborde. Very
"pilgrimslike"notes.
For those who like to have a head start before the mountains I can only say
that the St.Palais is all right and then to an intermediate stop and then to
St jean is a rather nice one as I recall
The other option still is to head for the "high road" and stop for the night
in Honto.

Please be aware of the fact that the Camino de Santiago isn't meant to be
easy on you!
If you think it should, please stay at home and do something like this big
trail I've seen in the USA.
The Camino the Santiago takes an effort - but it's not impossible - and it's
worth it !
You will be honoured by it !

as always
Ultreya and Good Health to you all
