Expect plenty of rain! It will be rainy season. Pamplona averages almost 7 inches in October. Expect even more rain in November as you travel. But do not be discouraged! Get good gear. Here on the wet coast of BC we say there is no such thing as bad weather, only poor clothing choices. Buen camino!Hey!

Welcome to the forum. I would be surprised if you walked it all without some rain. My main advice is to pack light (or pay to have your bag transported). There are lots of packing lists so try the search function. My planned list is here but it doesn't include meds and first aid eg Compeed and some KT tape. The nappy pins are to hang damp laundry to my pack so it will dry as I walk. Always a good idea to secure them well, I was amazed how many 'dead' socks were on the routes I have walked!! Enjoy your planning and Buen Camino.Hey!

Hi, I may see you there. I'm starting my Camino Frances from St Jean on 14th October. Good luck with the packing, only time will tell if we got it right.Hey!

I will be starting three days later. I walked the CF in Oct - Nov 2016 and had 10 or so days of some type of rain. Wasn’t that bad at all. My only issue was cold fingers. I am taking so,e what warmer gloves this time.Hey!

We start on 14th too. We are first timers and are hoping the weather will be kind to us. Our current thinking is day one is going to be extremely hard for us. But many before us have made it…..Hi, I may see you there. I'm starting my Camino Frances from St Jean on 14th October. Good luck with the packing, only time will tell if we got it right.
So we made 7 days and nights. A fantastic experience the weather was amazing. Thank you John from Ireland who lent us his guide book as we left ours at a friends house. Harry we missed you after Ronsevalles. Best wishes to all those pilgrims that cheered our day along the way to Logrono. We will be back to finish at some point in the future. We over packed next time my pack will be a fraction of the size for sure. Buen Camino.We start on 14th too. We are first timers and are hoping the weather will be kind to us.

Buen Camino everyone.
