Late April
Experienced the first day of rain so far. It was mostly light but it lasted most of the day. Made the air a bit chilly but tolerable. I went from Manero to Villamayor today. Spent most of the day alone! Even got to enjoy the wine fountain in Irache by myself!
Beun Camino!!

Thanks for sharing your progress - quick question, what's the temp like at night? I'm heading out in a week and a half do to the CF.

Temperatures are currently down to 0 degrees (or a few more), also max temperatures are going down, way below 20 degrees.
Some Albergues aren’t heated and still wintery cold.

I thought I replied to this but it apparently didn't take! I brought my 45 degree sleeping bag and that's been fine for me. For the mornings which have been chilly, I would recommend bringing a warm had and gloves. Not ski gloves but something to protect you from the wind and morning chill.
