Chilly camino

andywild · May 2, 2024

Hi all, just a quickie.
My friend is currently on the CF just after Burgos and has reported back to me that it's quite cold and damp. I plan to meet up with him mid May and I don't fancy walking in the rain. My question is, is there someone on here I could speak to to arrange a bit of sunny weather? I've been saving up and have just under five English pounds in my bribe fund should I need to 'grease a few palms'.

Thank you in advance,
Hugs,
Andy x

Oops, good spotting!
Edited so I look like I know what I'm talking about.

I'm not sure which one you are in your profile photo, but if you're the one on the right I think you will be ok with current weather. Ignore all the posts that are being a bit bearish about the weather.

I've walked several caminos but always in warm sunny weather. I couldn't bear 2 weeks in the rain. It's the polar opposite of what I consider acceptable.

Walk at night….that way you won’t “see” any rain! Can’t guarantee that you won’t still end up soaked and cold, though….

If you bribe me well I might stop my rain dance rites I have been performing for days now ...

Your avatar clearly indicates you are a fluffy bear and those indeed should fear rain as they get all soaked up!
BTW, who is the guy posing to the left of you?

Perhaps the rainy, cool weather will discourage fair weather pilgrims and clear the way a little?

Little brother from another mother; both have the same colour fur

Not judging from all the other threads about recent full albergues...

OP, definitely tongue in cheek, but since you're going to see the bones of one who may have touched the Divine ( to shamelessly steal @Tincatinker wonderful phrase), you may want to consider praying in St James' belief system

Buen Camino

After all it is only the beginning of Spring, what do you expect?

It is just a combination of water and cool walking conditions.

The water helps the vegetation grow and look stunning while the cooler temperatures help to make walking more pleasant.

Once you are in the company of your friend, walking in a beautiful environment, stretching your body a little bit out of its comfort zone and meeting lots of new, nice people then you will realise that this is the place for you to be at this time in your life.

Enjoy.

What ever the weather.

Nice to hear from you again Andy (how's Randy, Sandy and Candy?)

In response to your question I think you should bribe @trecile. She does supply a huge amount of help for free but I haven't seen her summon great walking weather for anything less than 10€. Maybe you can make up the deficit with charm.

May flowers?

I offer a Fair Weather Service, at One english pound per day, that is 100% guaranteed no rain that day.
Disclaimer: service is not geolocated. Somewhere on the planet will have no rain that day.

Randy is currently staggering his way toward Fromista (if anyone near there spots a handsome, if slightly bewildered looking, Canadian, be sure to say hello!)
I fly out May 18th and will track him down using my newly invented device I like to call the Randytracker2000 (patent pending).
Depending how far he gets I'm guessing we should be found roughly around the Sarria area, Randy athletically bounding along and me covering a solid 5km a day with my dodgy knee. Truly a sight to behold.
(I'll see if Randy wants to chip in to @trecile's pricey weather assistance)

That's great news. Where I'm from we all know Mayflowers bring pilgrims.
