    Just how difficult is the Camino Norte ?

    Just how difficult is the Camino Norte ?

    How accurate is AccuWeather?

    How accurate is AccuWeather?

    Thank you and what is the windy app? I asked this question really to see if anyone had any reason to doubt the AccuWeather app as in the forecast they gave was wrong ? I know I'm clutching at straws but it affects what to pack as well as everything else. Thanks for reply 🙂

    How accurate is AccuWeather?

    I'm arriving in St Jean on Friday and starting to walk the Napoleon route Saturday morning. It's my second time to begin the Camino Frances and at Easter in 2016 I had to take the Valcaros route so planned a later start this time as the route should be open . The problem is it's looks like there...
