grayland said:You would have had a very annoying time with me from Le Puy earlier. We left Le Puy on 30 March and had only about two days without rain to SJPdP. Most of the days were h e a v y rain. We had one day of a terrific thunder storm that blew trees down around us and lightning strikes close by. Nowhere to shelter as the trees were not a good choice. Rain was tropical.
We had horrific mud most of the time.
I don't mind a little rain but 29 days is a bit too much for me.

Oh, I'm expecting discomfort. I can walk sore, sunburnt, tired, hungry, thirsty, whatever. I just won't walk wet. To me, that's not discomfort. That's misery.
vagabondette said:Ha! yeah, after the 2-3rd day of rain and looking at the coming forecast, I'd have headed elsewhere.Light, occasional, short showers, no problem. Day after day of wet misery - nope. I'm outta there. It's just not worth it to me.
Arrived in Lourdes France yesterday after a long five weeks, mostly rainy walk from Le Puy.
