YES!
I walked it!!

My first time was a mistake that almost cost my life..if they tell ya in Saint jean pied de port to NOT go tru a certain part DO NOT GO < i left in mid march and went the way they told me NOT to walk tru and ended up lost in 4 feet of snow...

and the next day had to choice to give up ....cause i got hurt and sick ...i returned 2 months later with 1/4 of my original backpack < since that was a problem also ...after 31 days trust me you are happy but you seem to be leaving something behind<< it how i felt after for months..i have to return and do it again soon ...

Thanks Adamster for sharing your experience - i'm planning to do it mid-May thru June so don't think i'll have to worry about 4ft of snow. Is there anything you didn't bring along that you wish you had?

I'm sure you've done your research, but I came across this blog, so I figured I'd share it.
