St Jean to Puente La Reina (2018)
Hi, we (family of 4) fly tomorrow to Biarritz and start walking our first Camino on Monday morning. We have acommodation booked through to Puenta La Reina on Friday. The latest weather forecast is cold, thunder and rain all week, do I need to rethink my packing?
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
Only if you did not allow for bad weather in your original packing list. If so the forecast is a handy reminder that it can get pretty damp and miserable any time of year. Better to go prepared for it anyway!

15 degrees from the weather guessers is not cold rather perfect walking temperature, you don't even sweat. Rain-thunder-lightening predicted but there are no monsoons in Spain it will rain awhile it may thunderboom off and on , it will probably mostly be cloudy meaning the horizon will be shortened the view less than spectacular. Rolling clouds may be a wonderful addition though. Do review safety precautions during lightening storms. Cellphones do not attract lightening but trees, isolated bus stops, a person standing on an isolated unwooded road or field certainly do. Buen Camino-most albergues now have clothes driers should you actually get soaked.

Here is a pic from 2016, I love the simplicity of the sketch map and directions "1 km climb up, 5km flat, 5km down". I wonder how the prices are now?
