Hi there, I am just about to leave for the Camino and am a solo female. I will start the Camino on the 24th October and looking to finish end November early December. I hear that a lot of the accomodation and restaurants close end of October and because this has been a special year for pilgrims that more places will want to close because of how busy it has beeen.
I am tossing up whether I do the Camino or come back another year.
3 things I would really appreciate some advice on-
1. How do I find out which refuges and hostels close and will I be able to find accomodation along the way without having to walk even further each day.
2. I really need some contemplation time (hence my want to do the Camino) but I am worried that i will have trouble meeting and finding people during these months in which to travel with through some of the more deserted tracks for safety (and my fear).
3. Are there certain tracks/stages I should skip if I am worried.
4. General Weather temperatures in Nov and Dec. would a -6 sleeping bag be fine or should I also bring my thermal liner? Do I need to bring snow/ice grips?
Thank you for your time.
Nina
