I did part if it a few uears ago on another trail that overlaps: the Stevenson Trail GR70 from Le Puy en Velay to Ales. About 270 km and surprisingly remote in parts. It was July and very hot!

I did a virtual version of this during lockdown and would love to do the real thing. I did the virtual one to motivate me to keep training and got a lovely medal....
Via email I got virtual postcards from the organiser when I’d logged miles...
I could track myself on the virtual route..
I loved the look of Estella
And the look of the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela at the end...
Definitely something I would like to do!

It’s certainly a long way to do in one go, Ultracat. Particularly if you’re carrying all you need. I don’t know if there are companies that act as tour guides or carry luggage for you? I haven’t got as far as looking into that aspect of it.

Ness, you can make your own arrangements or you can book a self guided tour where they book accommodation and transfer your luggage from hotel to hotel or there are groups you can join with a local guide. Or you can arrange your own group with a guide.
