I am looking forward to walking the coastal route next year, health permitting. I can literally hardly wait! I have to fit it in between work and I'm musing about the possibility of being able to do it before when I've planned, which is next September. I'm free December and January
I've been looking ahead on Accuweather. It looks relatively mild even in December - 13 degrees. I'd rather be a bit cooler than overheat anyway - I'm British and anything over 10 degrees in winter sounds fine to me. But sometimes the 'on paper' forecast doesn't really tell you what it feels like. Wind and heavy persistent rain are not much fun.
Does anyone have any advice or experience with winter walking on this route? Or the inland version?
Because of health issues, I'm only planning to walk about 15 km per day and will probably stay in private hostels or B&Bs, so I'm not worried about albergues being open or not. It's the weather conditions that are the question.
Thank you anyone who has a moment to answer this.
