    Waterproof / Snow / Rain Pants in April 2014

    I am setting out from SJPdP the first week of April 2014 and am really comfortable with my packing list, except one nagging question: do I need waterproof / snow / rain pants for the early part of the trip over the Pyrenees? From the weather reports and input on this forum, I will definitely...

    Gaiters in late April & May walking the Camino.

    I depart SJPdP the first week of April and am now considering gaiters. I'm mentally preparing for the possibility of snow and I think that the drier I can keep my feet, the better off I'll be. I also want to travel as lightly as possible. Hmmm...

    LIVE from the Camino Snow - Winter / Spring 2014

    Thank you for this thread! I will be departing St. Jean Pied de Port the first week of April 2014. I will arrive there from Pamplona, so it sounds like there are three known options: - if the weather doesn't permit a safe passage over the Pyrenees, begin in Pamplona - if weather doesn't...

    30 days or longer?

    Gracias, Joe! I have been excited and mulling over the first few days of my trip. I agree with you and I would like to get to Pamplona on 2 April. I arrive in Madrid ~16:00 so couldn't arrive in Pamplona until ~23:00 (train). I've asked Corazon Puro, www.corazonpuro.es, who provides dinner...

    30 days or longer?

    So, I would be pushing it! I originally booked the trip thinking 40 days was plenty. Frankly, I booked it in a moment of needing to take action to show myself commitment to this great journey. Since then, I have realized that with travel from Madrid to starting point and acclimation to time...
