- planning to walk (2013)
Hi all.....
I am new to the site and I am here as I am planning to do the last 100 km walk from Sarria to Santiago during my birthday week in February 2014. The plan is just to have a taste of the walk for now and I will eventually plan to do the proper Frances walk sometime soon. Now I have already booked my plane ticket to Santiago from london then from there I will get a bus to Sarria. So far I have only been reading information about the walk through the net as the guidebook I have ordered ( by John Brierley ) in Amazon has not arrived yet. Got few questions which I'm sure all answers can all be found somewhere here in the forum but I doing an essay right now too which is due soon so I cannot really browse much. I will be very grateful if you can guide me a bit please especially with some of my questions.
1. Is getting the bus from santiago to sarria the best option? Does someone know the link to the bus service please in santiago?
2. I am hiking on my own.....will there be loads of pilgrims during February time?
3. Is it going to be very cold in February ....is there a chance it will snow?
4. Since I am only doing a 100 km walk..... It does follow right that I won't have to carry too much with me. ( sorry this may sound like a stupid question to most of you here.... but just want a general idea of probably how much weight I will be carrying for a 100 km walk in Camino. I do a lot of walking/ hiking but I'm not so used to walking with a heavy bag on my back.....so I just want an idea please.
Sorry everyone if all my questions seem really daft..... But I just need to get a bit of an idea. Getting really frustrated with amazon as It has been 3 weeks now since I've ordered the guidebook.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this!
