Well I have been traveling for a while and have visited a lot of places, I have even visited Pamplona before but stayed out at a campsite (ended up spending most of my time drunk at the campsite) but 4 months ago I had the time of my life with the Pamplona Posse at the wildest party in the world. I decided that I was going to run with the bulls in Pamplona to celebrate becoming 40. After checking out a number of different sites I finally found the Pamplona Posse site and wow… boy does it contain a lot of information, it is also incredibly funny. When I contacted them they sent me out a email pointing out that it was not a “chocolate on the pillow” type of deal, in fact they said they did not want any people in the group that were “ stuck-up, boring, prissy, tedious, dull, uninteresting, wearisome, tiresome, lacklustre, unexciting, humdrum, uninspiring, insipid and characterless.” Already I liked their approach, I did not fancy partying with anybody of that nature either. After a rapid exchange of emails I booked up with these guys. For the two months before the fiesta I received a string of funny newsletters with a lot of useful information about the fiesta and how things work in the Posse. Boy do they like to party, but their articles about running with the bulls were full of incredible insights, these guys were certainly the experts as far as bull running goes. I was not disappointed when i got there. The guy who does the walking tours of the bull running was an American guy who told us some invaluable advice and answered all our questions showing his experience ad in an entertaining way. The guys at the Posse sorted us out with a room in an apartment right in the heart of the fiesta in the old part of town. It was great only a 5 min walk to the bull run and to all the partying. The apartment was just what we wanted, basic student type accommodation and the bonus was that the other two rooms had 2 nice Aussie girls, and a couple of American guys, so we all made a great team and ended out partying on the town together. The Posse guys even threw a drinks party for us so we got to meet the other folks with the Posse over a few glasses of Sangria. My first two runs were quite tame but my third one was great and that was down to having a few beers with some of the other runners with the Posse who gave me a few tips about how to get the best out of a run. It was an incredible experience and i made so many good friends. So if you are going to Pamplona to have a drunken sunbathe (like me the first time) stay at a campsite. Otherwise if you want to run with the bulls with the best party bunch at the fiesta then get in touch with the Pamplona Posse. They Rock!
