The Route

Ok, so for all of you who asked. . .this is the plan and some pictures of the elevation and distances.

I plan to go to Bayonne from Biarritz airport - this is still in France - spend a day in Bayonne then go on to St-Jean-Pied-de-Port from where my Journey Proper will begin. 

The picture below gives you some idea of how many different routes there are.  In medieval times (and still today) people started at their front doors to begin their pilgrimage journey.  I will be doing the Camino Frances which is marked in green.  You will notice that most of the routes connect with the Camino Frances at some point.

My starting point is at number 4 - St Jean Pied de Port



The next picture gives you some idea of the elevation from Roncesvalles which is about 28km after my starting point to Santiago de Compostela.

In the next post I will include elevation pictures broken up into stages.  I am not sure how many pictures I can do in a single post, so bear with me on this one.

Buen Camino!!
