    Down jacket or synthetic vest for use on early March CF ?

    Hi Colette, Yes flying out tomorrow via AirTransat to Paris and then TGV to Bayonne. Wow, 5 kgs is good for this time of year. I finally did ditch the running jacket and am down to 9 kg . As per the cold snap we experiencing here, am looking forward to warmer climes ;). Not much a fan of...

    Down jacket or synthetic vest for use on early March CF ?

    Thank you for info. In my mind when walking vest or down jacket will be stowed away in the pack and stay dry. Wearing them when walking could only lead to overheating and getting excessively wet inside. This morning I went out for walk it was - 8C with blustery wind brought the wind chill...

    Down jacket or synthetic vest for use on early March CF ?

    Now here is a warm concept, hope it works out for you. Or maybe, like detachable pants that turn into shorts, we could have down jackets with detachable arms that could be used at night as long socks to put over the feet. All that would be needed would be a draw cord at the end. That could...

    Down jacket or synthetic vest for use on early March CF ?

    Thanks for the advise @C clearly, @wayfarer and @jsalt . IT seems that the bulkier, yet lighter, vest is favoured so far. I do wish I had a down vest though.... makes for a really comfy pillow.

    Will "Sante María de Eunate" be open in early March 2017 ?

    Thank you so much for your responses. Open or not this is something I plan to take in. The image I have seen have such an attraction for me it is hard to describe. It crystallizes the imagery of the long history of the Camino and the many who have gone before me. Looking forward to the...

    Will "Sante María de Eunate" be open in early March 2017 ?

    Hi, I will be starting my first Camino from StJPdP in one month's time and am curious if the church of Sante María de Eunate will be open at this time of year. I have been perusing the Internet and the forum for some time now and cannot find any definitive indication on when and if the church...
