Patricia: request Arles- Puenta de la Reina route

[dandekay]

I began my walk in SJPP and made it to Roncesvalles the first day.  Yes it
was uphill for a long time.   It was also very beautiful and the work was a
fitting start to the pilgrimage.  I think that one day was the hardest of
the entire walk.  Arriving at Roncesvalles, tired and sore after a long
day's walk,  gave me the beginnings of feeling like a genuine pilgrim.  I
heartily suggest that anyone in reasonable shape make a go of it.
