Rain protection - ( Overkill ? or cut back to save some weight?)
There is a lot of good advice in this thread, but there are a few other considerations ,which in my experience ( Frances), made a huge difference in bad weather.

Equipment that worked for me
The short answer is yes, but I need to clarify. Because I did not know what to expect on leaving St. Jean, I booked Orisson, and private rooms for the next three nights in Roncevalles, Zubiri and Pamplona.
