Toque, Gloves, Long Underwear & Backpack on Airplane
Why don't you keep the backpack in the cabin with you and send the poles in the hold? ( wrap in bubble wrap or a post tube that can be binned at the airport when you pick them up). That way if the poles are lost they can be replaced .
I walked the Frances in mid sept 2010. By Leon we had to buy gloves and a beanie for the morning starts. Most days were warm and evenings ok in just long sleeves . We only had 3 days of rain. I appreciate its different every year but we found the weather ideal for walking.
