Patrick here,
Packed and ready. Heading out to MIA in about 3 hours. Should be in Ferrol roughly 24 hours from now. :shock:
Will post whenever possible.

My plan was to do the camino in September or October, but it's starting to look like I may have to push that back a few months due to finances.
When is it too cold to do the trek? Are January or February a bad time of year? How much snow do they get up there? I don't mind wearing a coat, but I...
Thanks to everyone for all the great suggestions. I'll be downloading the guide and starting my research in earnest very soon. I'm sure I'll have many more questions!
