Hi

A new member to the forum - heres hoping this post goes where it suppose to:)

Im planning on doing my first camino in november next year. Would it be impossible? - Im ready for hardship, cold weather, snow, wind - come what may. So experiences anyone?

I hope that with careful planning and training that i will be able to take this journey being use to cold weather and snow.

All the best

I've walked two different Caminos in winter. The Camino Sanabres was very, very cold, with a lot of snow. The Camino Portuguese had nice weather.
I imagine the Camino ingles would be very wet, the same on the Camino del Norte.
If I was you, I would try the Portuguese, or the Camino Frances, but absolutely NOT the Camino Primitivo in winter.
The Camino Primitivo (from Oviedo to Lugo) is wonderful. But, do not walk alone in Winter because you will be on your own. Often the path is very far from housing so if you stumble ... No antennas so the phone does not work.
