El Camino - Over the Pyrénées

After walking from Espalion to St Jean de Port on the "Le Puy" Camino I decided to walk for one further day. On the eight of October 2014 I walked from St Jean Pied de Port to Roncesvalles. I had walked the entire Camino Frances a few years previously. I had also walked the entire GR10 (coast to coast Pyrénées).  But that morning in October  a few weeks ago was a tough climb. The wind was very strong but it was still a great walk. I used the Napoleon route.

Here are some photographs from that day plus  a few from the following day in Roncevalles.

The Le Puy Route - GR65 - Chemin St Jacques

I recently walked from Espalion in France to Roncesvalles in Spain. This is part of the Chemin St Jacques or GR65. It is one of the few Camino routes that I have walked twice as I generally don't like to repeat my steps. It is my favourite Camino. I now post some photographs here taken this Autumn.

This is not an exhibition of my best photographs. It is meant as a pictorial record of the way I viewed my recent journey. I include many photographs, therefore it is not practical to put Captions on them. This section is a work in progress there are many more photographs to follow and maybe I might delete some. 

This first instalment is from Espalion to near Eglise Saint-Serin du Bosc (just outside Lauzerte).

I have to comment on this picture. When I posted this I thought it meant something COMPLETELY different. Just ran it through Google translate to disappointedly find out it is an Accountancy firm.

Now for the second batch from the Le Puy route. These photographs are from Moissac to Pimbo (approximately)

This next section of photographs is from Arzacq-Arraziguet to St Jean Pied de Port.

There are some photographs of St Jean Pied de Port to follow. Also Photographs of the trek over the Pyrénées to Roncesvalles. I have some photographs of my April trip of two years ago. I might also write a short article about this years trip. 

I have included two new sections as two new posts. This is the link to the 2012 Le Puy section from Le Puy to Moissac. Well worth a look.
