Hi we ate starting the last 100km from Sarria on Dec. Any advice on weather and appropriate gear would be appreciated.

Wind, rain. Snow possible. Maybe even some sunshine.

Good breathable waterproofs, layer-able clothing so that you can easily vary your level of insulation. And shoes / boots that will provide protection against mud and rain and adecent grip on slippery terrain.

There is quite a bit of useful information in various threads from people who have walked in winter. I would add that it is fantastic, but you do need to be prepared, as it is sometimes weather that could actually kill you - it is extremely cold and we were even in one blizzard (which was quite an experience for Australians). But if you read the advice on the forum and are organised it is a very special time to do it.
