    December 2018

    Anyone have an opinion about whether to take a sleeping bag or quilt for October/mid-November? I figure a bag means a 45-50 l. backpack; no bag, under 40. I'd rather go lighter, but don't want to hit an albergue that's really cold.

    Don't know about US troops, but I've read that British soldiers on a march switch into another pair of socks around noon. I've been doing that ever since I read it. Supposed to cut down on blisters by keeping your feet dry. It does feel good, and last camino, not too many blisters.

    Prospective Pilgrims: When to Walk? What to Consider Before You Go...

    I would like to start in St Jean, go to Muxia, and walk back to San Jean. I'd like to do most of it in the fall and avoid snow conditions on the return in the Pyrenes. I'd like some advice on when to leave, and when the first heavy snow is likely to hit. As early as October?
