My wife and I are in our mid 60's and plan to our first pilgrimage in 2016. We hope to minimize encounters with full hostels and the afternoon heat by starting at St. Jean either on May 1st or September 1st. We think our trek might take about 40 days. We also hope that with these dates we can avoid colder temps and hopefully some rain (always an issue we know). Our question is which start date might be preferred; May 1st or Sept 1st? Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
