I only have 20 days to do Camino Del Norte, any advice?

Time of past OR future Camino
September 2015
End September - October 2016 (Camino Del Norte)
I did my first camino last year in Sept '15 (Camino Frances) started from Leon. And indeed i feel so blessed to be able to do my camino though only started from Leon.

And there is a feeling deep inside me urging to do another camino, and this time I choose Camino Del Norte. But I found not so much information about this route and need more information as well as the best time to do this camino. My initial plan is to start by End September 2016, unfortunately I do only have 20 days of walking. Any suggestion which city that I have to start? What will be the weather?

Thanks for the advice.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I downloaded a mobile app named vojo way. It has also Norte, and seems ok for checking how far to walk in a day. I haven't learned how to use it yet, but initial glance gave a good impression.
 
You could check out the Gronze guide and work backwards from Santiago, at your daily walking distance, to find a starting point.
 
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,-
It all depends on how much you want to arrive in Santiago. If you start in Irun you will be able to walk the very beautiful part through Basque country. However, you will not be able to reach Santiago.

I did check vojo way, but the application only for android at this moment. For IOS have to wait for awhile. Hope before my camino, the application for IOS already available. Thanks for the advice.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Elevation map shows this is really steep! What’s the best way from downtown Hondarribia up there? Then wish me luck on the Purgatorio—I am a nervous wreck.
My group of six arrives in Irun on May 20 and we're starting our Camino on May 21. Since it's the beginning of the busy season, I'm wondering if we should order trekking poles from Amazon Espana...
