November is the Camino month :)

[flywitheva]

I wanted to pop up on the camino calendar, so this is why I make this separate post to tell about my plans.

I will arrive in SJPP the 1st of november, starting the walk the next day, and aim to make the Camino Frances with about 30 km a day (leaving space for 2 rest-days), as my return flight in Santiago has been booked for the 1st of december

I am so excited and hope to meet nice people along the way. I have a lot of experience with hiking and endurance training, but not much experience being on my own; this will be the challenge!

Buen camino! I do not think you will be alone. There are a lot of peregrinos on the CF at the moment.

Oh a November camino sounds so nice! I cannot stand heat and have walked my partial CF's in the spring and fall (and hit 40C+ for a few days in late September '14). Winter walking to me would be delightful!

Yes and the weather forecast at the moment is so good for walking!! Not too rainy at all and between 12-20 degrees! Today it is even 25 degrees in Santiago... I was not going to bring shorts, but maybe I should haha.

Well being two days ahead of you....staying in puenta la reina tonight you probably already know there is nothing or very little open between zubiri and arre...it is the same at the end of this stage..coffee shop in muruzabal open but uterga not today...so things are closing as the days go on but it seems stay to the main town stages rather than the really small ones and all will be grand. The weather this week is amazing...napoleon route on Sunday in 21 degree heat at end of October was a stunning surprise to everyone!

 

[flywitheva]

Amazing weather indeed!!! and found great company on my first day today to Roncesvalles where we stay now tomorrow Zubiri, friday Pamplona and then gradually increasing distances. I had a great start and lets see what next days bring

Best of luck to you! I would very much like to hear how things go for you. I am thinking of the approx same time-frame next year. I happened to be listening to a Camino podcast this morning discussing the Camino Frances in Nov-Dec and the lady spoke of a couple of Albergues that did not have they heat turned up and it got pretty chilly. She also spoke of many that had shut down for the winter and that you usually did not find many options between the main stages.

Buen Camino and Good Luck!
