Well, after mulling it over for a couple of weeks, I made the decision NOT to walk over the Pyrenees again, and to just start walking right out of Pamplona! This will give me an extra week of days to stay in some of the little places I've missed over the years and to walk shorter stages in the beginning.
I've made most of my reservations where it is necessary and am getting itchy to go!
All that is left to do is to spray my pack and sleeping bag with Permethrin - a week before leaving.
Today my grandkids are visiting.
The next 3 weeks will be busy with canning and freeze-drying produce from our garden.
Life is busy and good!
See you on the trail,
Annie
