5kg ? ,only if you're a size 0 petite female who weighs 20kg ... doing 9.7kg and it's impossible to get below that 6'1" & 100kgs Start the beginning of February but spending 1month in the Alps.
If you're up in years, boots are more stable, as there many craggy places on the Frances where ankle support is needed. I've also worn Solomon trail shoes on the flatter areas. If you're young to middle age trail shoes are good for fair weather Camino's...doing winter Camino in December and...
My wife broke bones in her foot soon after Roncevalles, as later verified by the orthopedic surgeon and an MRI back in that States. She taped her foot and walked the rest of the Camino to Santiago. My wife is my hero :D and one tough Lady ! The following year we walked the Frances once more and...
We will be starting our Camino Frances sometime in January. About the same time you will. There are four of us (family) doing a winter Camino. We've done the Frances multiple times. We're flying into the UK on Dec.25, to "play" for a few weeks first. You should be able to get accommodations...
This may be close to our time (4 of us) to start the Frances. Final date not exact yet, but we may start sometime in mid to late January 2020. Our ages range from mid 40's to late 60's. Perhaps we will meet up ! :-)
Buen Camino !

We are walking the Via de la Plata January through March 2020. It's very hard to find definitive answers about albergue closures/openings or weather. We are grabbing bits and pieces of info from everywhere and are trying to make it into a cohesive picture of what it will be like. In other...
Has anyone walked the Plata from beginning of January through the end of February ? If so what was the weather and temperatures you encountered and how difficult was it to find lodging ?
We will be leaving from Seville in the beginning of January 2020. We trekked the Frances twice in eleven months and are looking forward to the "Camino less traveled". Hopefully, the weather will not be to severe. We have just started our planning ie; distances/albergues, food, etc. We are slow...
