We are finally walking! 

The first stage of the Camino Francés goes from St Jean in France over the Pyrinees to Roncesvalles in Navarra, Spain. It is a steep 1210 metres uphill and 460 metres down. We decided to do this part in 2 stages. First day a bit less than 1/2 way to the Virgen d’Orisson at about 1100 metres elevation, take a transport back to St Jean, next morning take the transfer back to the statue of the Virgin and walk the rest of the way to Roncesvalles. So that is what we did. 

Some pictures from our first day as peregrinos:
