Safety in December is the main concern but my dilemma is explained below. I have a question for the forum which the subject says it all. I am finishing my senior semester in engineering which I graduate in December and was planning on doing the Camino Frances starting in SJDP from August first to the end of August before the beginning of the first semester. Due to time constraints I need to finish the Camino in 22-24 days, even while finishing in this time I will miss the first week of class which is adding stress to my last semester.
If I do it in December I will have basically unlimited time. I am on a flexible flying plan so that is not a concern. I have basically no experience hiking except, 10 mile walks for the past few months almost daily. Have had a few above 15 miles. Just want to get opinions. I have read A LOT of forums but am having trouble coming to a decision. My main question is do you think as a first timer I will be able to complete the Camino safely leaving in December?
