Just to note about this … bag transport is only available on certain routes - typically the most popular routes, mostly in the north. So if you feel you or any of your companions will or may need it, that will eliminate some routes including I think all of those mentioned by @jungleboy If you can all carry your packs, you have more options.I'm not sure about gear yet. I think it depends which route I take and how rainy it might be.
To be blunt, the chances of rain are about equal whichever route you take: North West Spain (Galicia) and the North of Portugal are very rainy regions. October is autumn and unpredictable. You might be lucky and get no rain at all, you might be unlucky and get a lot. Sorry if this is unhelpful but that is the most honest answer I can give you.A few friends and I are looking to do the Camino mid to the end of October. I know there will be likely some rain on each route but which route will likely have the least amount of rain at this time? Thank you!
I waded through fast running water knee high on the Camino Frances last September. Flash flooding after a thunderstorm and prolonged rain. It can happen any time.I believe last fall there were heavy rains all along the CF in the late season. I remember photos of heavy rain and paths resembling streams. That was last year.
Torrential downpours almost daily!I believe last fall there were heavy rains all along the CF in the late season. I remember photos of heavy rain and paths resembling streams. That was last year.
The route that doesn't make it all the way to Galicia, he says somewhat facetiously.A few friends and I are looking to do the Camino mid to the end of October. I know there will be likely some rain on each route but which route will likely have the least amount of rain at this time? Thank you!
