[Gocamino] Via Tolosana

[Pete Grant]

Philippe,  I started my walk to Santiago in May 2002 from Oloron St. Marie, about 60 kms east of the Somport Pass.  I was 64 at the time, a first time back packer, with no experience.  Everything went very well.  I enjoyed the relative solitude of the walk from Oloron to Somport and then on to Puente la Reina, where I joined the much busier Frances route.  The walk leading up to the Somport Pass was among the most beautiful of my entire Camino.  Pete

On May 9th, I am planning to start my pilgrimage walk to Compostela, from 
Arles using the Via Tolosana ( via Toulouse and the Somport) .

I am a bit concerned about the lack of fellow pilgrims on the French trail ( 
GR 653) and perhaps also the lack of a support structure there.

Has anyone walked this way ?

Comments and advise from any of you who have walked the French part of the 
Via Tolosana would be most welcome ( having walked the Via Podiensis / 
Camino Frances from Le Puy to Santiago twice already, I know the Spanish 
part )

Thanks

Philippe
