Julie and Peter...just knowing I won’t be alone makes all the difference in the world. Thanks for responding to my post! Buen Camino!We will be on the Le Puy route mid-August to mid-October (ending in SJPDP) - perhaps our paths will cross. I can't help you with your questions except to say you will find out when you get there.Buen Camino!
I would bet that weather will be fine. It was last year for a friend of mine.We will be on the Le Puy route mid-August to mid-October (ending in SJPDP) - perhaps our paths will cross. I can't help you with your questions except to say you will find out when you get there.Buen Camino!
Thank you Kellymac. What type of weather did you encounter?
I walked the CF from SJPDP in late Sept through late Oct in 2015. By the end you’ll likely have cool mornings, with temps possibly nearing freezing at sunrise. I wouldn’t worry about snow. Rain I would count on, and possibly lots of it, especially in Galicia.Hello All,
I am planning to begin my Camino in Le Puy at the end of August, estimating I will be in Santiago sometime in mid-October. Can anyone share with me what the weather might be like at that time? I just saw the post about pilgrims being rescued on the Napoleon route due to weather.
Also, I am planning to go “full Pilgrim” and not make any advance albergue reservations — am I crazy?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
The weather will be fine. You might get rain, you might be very hot you might get cloud but nothing extreme. You will be the unluckiest pilgrim in the world if you get snowHello All,

Once again dear boy, tsk tsk. I had snow on 3 different occasions the first time I walked in Galicia!!!!!! So please check your accuweather forecast!!! And I will walk with you next year before but I think the boys from college will be walking with me. You would have to change your plans to the fall for 2 reasons. One is that is when I can go because of work and the other is we want to start walking on the 48th anniversary of when we first met in Dorm 9, Lyons Hall, Lower Quad Ithaca College, and fryed about 90 million brain cells each during that memorable first night together. Although we can't really remember, the 10 of us are still together. (and we are NOT a Camino Family. We are a rag tag bunch that get on each others nerves alot and bitch alot and know each other in some ways better than our wives know us. We are abusive, obnoxious and sarcastic with each other, waiting for any weakness to pounce on each other with any painful memories and secrets we know about each otherto gang up and to reduce the party being attacked, usually me as I am the one to instigate alot of it, to rubble. It's way more fun but totally not in the spirit of a "Camino Family") us Nothing has changed except we have a lot less brain cells to fry. You would be a welcome fodder, especially since you are so midwestern and so nice!!!I walked the CF from SJPDP in late Sept through late Oct in 2015.

Bonjour, mes amis:
I am planning to do my first French Camino (did the Spanish route, SJPP to Finisterre,10 years ago) in September. I am still dithering between the Le Puy and the Vezelay routes.
Any thoughts?
I'd rather not have to go too far each stage- going to turn 70 along the way, and age does things to the knees and hips and stamina... and not taking a tent for emergency camping if caught short...
any thoughts?
But full of joy at the thought of being on the pilgrim trail again and hardships be damned. There'll always be plenty of those in life, eh? A bit of company now and then might not be amiss though.

Sheesh, I doubt I’d make it out alive! So you’re walking the Norte with your college buddies? That should be epic.Once again dear boy, tsk tsk.
