la plata in may/june some questions

[AZgirl]

Hi all,
I will be walking from sevilla this may and havea few questions :

Is anyone else planning for around then?

Can I just use a sleep sheet instead of a bag? I did the Frances route about the same this past may and thought it would have been ok.

Does it rain much?

Any suggestions or wise tips would greatly be appreciated!
Thx!

Speaking for myself. I definitely needed my sleeping bag this year in April/May walking from Seville.
It was exceptionally chilly and wet at times. My strong Scottish blood has been weakened by 30 yrs of Australian heat and I do feel the cold but others felt the same this year.
Who knows what 2013 will bring but I would 'pack the bag' !
Have a wonderful Camino

Hi
I walked this way September 2010,it was very hot and rained just 2 days-the problem is carrying enough water as fountains few and far between,I just took sheet sleeping bag and all was fine,mind you I am from England and anything over freezing I find uncomfortable-I did a 14minute slide show up to Astorga and along the cf http://sagalouts-theroadtonowhere.blogs ... -form-hope it gives you some idea.

Thanks for the replies. Hopefully I will get lucky like Ian and it will be hot not exceptionally cold and rainy.

That video was quite awesome even more excited than I was even though its so far away!

Thanks
