- Time of past OR future Camino
- May 2016
I am walking the Camino Frances in stages. I walked from Pamplona to Burgos in early June and was planning to walk from Burgos to Leon in September but family commitments intervened.
So now I plan to walk starting in Burgos on November 8th and do 8 days to Leon. I would very much appreciate any information from anyone who has walked at the this time of year on the weather I can expect.
How easy is it to find hostels or hotels etc. which are open?
What suggestions do experienced pilgrims have for outer clothing and sleeping bags for this time of the year?
I plan to carry around 7kgs excluding food and water but including rucksack. I will take a 1 kilo goose down sleeping bag, but could take a 600gm light weight summer bag instead. For outer gear I'm planning to take a lightweight poncho (American Packa) , lightwight fleece, light rain jacket and over-trousers. These give me good layering options. Also light weight gloves and warm hat. No sure if I'm taking too much much or not enough warm gear.
Any comments or help would be much appreciated.
