I know it's cold and scary then (ha), just seeing if anybody else is going that time frame? I've done it in 30 days from SJPP in the summer, so I'm going to add on some R&R / bad weather days and take my time...aiming for 37-40 days. Cheers from Los Angeles!
I will be landing at CDG feb11/18, SJPP that day or the next ( depends on the trains ). I am taking 45 days total (with travel ), with that in mind nothing written in stone.I know it's cold and scary then (ha), just seeing if anybody else is going that time frame?

I've started all three of my Caminos, 2015, 2016, & 2017 around April 12th. They all had mostly delightful weather overall and very few rainy days. Hopefully you will have similar when you go. Buen Camino!I'm here now and so impatient to come back! I'd rather do it without extreme weather though! I was hoping April would warm up but not too rainy??

Hallo guys, my name is Lomon from Greece. I also plan to walk the Camino in February or March 2018. Maybe we could meet up and walk together?
Bill / Lomon - I may in in SJPP around the same time. Let's stay in touch. Misery loves company, lol.
I set off from Astorga 24th February.....anyone else? Looking forward to "a different kind of Camino"!
Has anyone had any experience with crampons?
Should it be something to consider when walking the CF, from mid-February?
Thanks @caminomatt90068 I was a little worried after I read a post about needing them for winter on the Camino. I had not heard of them before.I've definitely used crampons, but don't think we'll need them on the Camino...the Picos de Europa maybe. I preparing more for cold mud.
Hello @Bill AnthonyGreat to see you are asking questions and doing the research. I went to a hiking store today to look at them, thoughtful design and large displays. The sales staff have high opinion of the Yaktrax.
Matt ... Cheers from Temecula!
Due to limited time available, I'll be starting February 13th from Ponferrada to SdC.
I've definitely heard about the mud...especially when going up or down hills. I think walking sticks are a must...and I'm not usually a fan of them. I like that saying..."warm pilgrims / cold albergues". Just more of a reason to treat yourself right when you can, ha.

Hi @Michelle Kas
What a blessing to have 7.5 weeks. Time to explore and rest when needed. There are 3 of us on this thread leaving on 12 Feb. Maybe we'll see you along the way!
Buen Camino!
Congratulations on the BIG move @Michelle Kas !!! And what a fantastic time to walk!Yes! I will have just finished up at my job and before a major move, so I thought what better time. I plan to leave SJPDP on 19 or 20 Feb, so I'll be a week behind ye. Still though, you never know with the Camino!
Going on thur next. Exited yes planning no. But should be ok. I have up 2 18 days for this leg.Three new members on the forum, and all planning to walk in winter.

Really jacked up my toe (lost a lot of the nail and it's a big gross mess) which has set me back a bit, but I'm planning on flying out of here next Monday or Tuesday (I always buy one way tix last minute, lol) to Madrid and then bus it to Pamplona. Will probs start there as I probs shouldn't be doing the SJPP up and down bit. I probably should wait a couple months, but I really want to do the Camino again when it's less crowded, so it's now or never. If any of you will be in the Pamplona area next week, message me. Cheers.
