Afternoon all,

All going well, I should arrive in Madrid this time next week!
Coach booked to Oviedo, arriving Saturday evening!

Starting from Oviedo Cathedral from Monday 26 September!

Have been keeping an eye on the weather, and it seems the temperatures are still quite pleasant, with Accu weather only predicting a few days of rain!

I have the choice of taken a Poncho or light hooded rain jacket, the poncho would definitely protect more, but, it’s noticeable heavier when bundled in stuff sack!

Also had planned on taking a light synthetic down jacket for early morning’s!
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.

I really like Weatherspark.com. It has many detailed graphs you can study, honing in on your particular month of walking.
I leave next week too, for the Via Francigena, and have given attention to info on Lucca, Siena and Rome, as they each represent roughly 1/3 the distance apart as the trail heads south. Other than some general knowledge, I take it all as a grain of salt, as you never know what you are going to get...similar to a box of chocolates.
 
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.

I have been trying to find a way to avoid the circus during the last stages of Frances. In two hours you can take the Lugo - Ourense train and walk the last stages on the Plata. Is it a good idea...
https://www.alojamientoloshospitales.com/albergue I found a link to this place in an old thread, but can't find it on WisePilgrim, the Gronze map or if I search by address. Can someone tell me...
