- Time of past OR future Camino
- I plan to walk my first Camino in late July 2016.
Hello!
My name is Jamie and I am from Melbourne, Australia.
I was planning on beginning my Camino in March/April 2016. Fate has a funny way of taking one down a totally different path and I am only am now able to begin planning... For mid July 2016.
I will be beginning my Camino at St. Jean de Pied Port.
A few questions.
Is it crazy to begin late July? I'm ok with heat and prefer heat to rain.
I will be solo so I feel that walking in peak season would be a safer option?
Is there a forum thread I can get on that has others that plan on commencing that time too?
Given that I'm travelling in summer would I also need to take a sleeping bag and warm/protective clothing?
Any tips or reference points? I feel like I've read a ton of blogs and am really excited but also a little scared that I am getting in over my head! (Which is also a major buzz!)
Thanks!
