[QUOTE="marktqm, post: 4558, member: 323"] I walked the Camino Frances 28 April to 31 May 2006. I brought a North Face waterproof jacket with a removable fleece. Being a tropical person, I almost always wore the jacket without the fleece when I set out every morning and when the sun comes out I take it off. The fleece was only useful when I crossed the Pyrenees in fog and in the mountains of Leon at Foncebadon to El Acebo where we unexpectedly encountered rain, sleet and snow in the 3rd week of May. It only rained on me twice along the camino. And not a single drop of rain in Galicia! As to the question of how crowded the camino is, well it's a relative thing depending on your definition of crowded. The road itself is not that very crowded (yet) in May, unless you don't like people routinely overtaking you on the walk. It can be unnerving at first ("Oh my god, 50 people have already overtaken me and there are only 50 beds in the next refugio!") and the temptation to join the Amazing Race for beds is very strong. As for the refuges, yes, they are almost filled up by the end of the day during this month, so at night it IS pretty crowded in the dormitories. I don't have a problem with snoring concerts at night (there's always the earplug) unless it is the one beside me who's doing the recital (earplugs won't work, you'll feel the vibrations). My problems are the pilgrim to bathroom ratio, and lack of ventilation -- there are very few/small windows and most of them closed. Mark TQM [/QUOTE]
