- Le Puy Route 2011-12, St Jean - Logrono 2013
I've just completed the Le Puy Route to St Jean Pied-de-Port and then went on to Logrono. However, I had to break my trip and will return to complete my journey in late October. I'll be walking most of the last 26 days alone (I will have a companion from Logrono - Burgos and from Sarria to Santiago). All the weather information is so vague - I understand it will be cool and that rain is probable for about half the time (more in Galicia). However, I just did the St Jean - Roncevalles crossing in the snow, cold and mud and was very glad to have 2 hiking companions - very foggy and it would have been easy to become disoriented without a few sets of eyes looking for waymarks. I see that there are even higher summits between Astorga and O Cebreio, and I will be walking this stretch in the second week of November. Has anyone done this at this time of year? I want to make sure I'm prepared with appropriate gear. Also, I most likely will be doing this stretch alone, with few other pilgrims around given the time of year. Is that a silly thing to do? How many other pilgrims might I expect to see?
Thanks.
Thanks.
