The collective decision by the pilgrims at the albergue in Cee was to plug in hair dryers and use the air dryers in the toilet. It took four hours to restore power after the main electrical panel fried...Has anyone experienced a run of rainy weather? Any tips for drying out?
You can also use newspaper for this same purpose, dispose of it afterwards and alleviate the weight in your packThank you for the advice! Rolling clothes in the towel and treading/dancing on them is useful. Also I have a pair of quick-drying trousers that I'm not fond of, but looks like I should bring them with me.
If it is of any consolation, my source in Pamplona said today: “Now that summer has finally arrived...”. A long way from Sarria I know, but the same latitude. Not a guarantee of rain free, but certainly better than recent times.We set off next week from Sarria and I have been watching the weather forecast on yr.no and Eltiempo. It's looking pretty rainy for the first few days. I don't mind a bit of rain, but I was wondering about drying clothes for the next day, if I only have two sets of clothes with me. Has anyone experienced a run of rainy weather? Any tips for drying out?
I didn't know about Trench Foot - but a quick look online seems to suggest it happens when your feet are cold and wet - usually from standing around in the cold below 60 degrees F. You shouldn't have to worry about that in the summer in Spain.

Very creative of you.I'm just back from walking the Frances from Leon with almost 2 weeks of rain. For part of the time, I was unable to wash and dry my clothes so I had my "walking clothes", the other set were my "dinner clothes" and then I just wore my long johns to bed. In the morning I put on my dirty walking clothes as they would be wet and dirty very soon anyways. I was walking every day until 5 pm so there just wasn't time to wash my clothes and get them dry. I learned to roll up my pants when it rained. I had a rain jacket and a $1.00 poncho. I could take off my poncho and roll down my pants and look halfway decent in restaurants. It was great when I rented a room with a heater and was able to wash everything I had with me!
Be sure to give a few words on your Camino, Frances. Sounds like you are either already or soon to be walking. Buen camino!We set off next week from Sarria and I have been watching the weather forecast on yr.no and Eltiempo. It's looking pretty rainy for the first few days.

Great startFrances! Do let us know how it goes. I have eaten there stayed there and liked there food too!Thanks everyone! We have just done our first day. We walked from Sarria to Ferreiros and have just eaten our meal at the nice restaurant below Albergue Casa Cruceiro. Lots of low cloud during the walk but no rain so far. The sun has just come out. It is good walking weather.
