Hi all,
I will be walking some of the Frances again starting in late September. My other two trips were in the early Spring. What might I expect in terms of weather in late Sept,-early Oct? Do I need a sleeping bag or will my silk liner be sufficient?

Also, if you have favorite albergues between Pamplona and Burgos I would love to get your advice (anywhere in and between these cities as we will play it by ear where we stop).

Gracias y Buen camino!

My second Camino (2017 I think) was in September and I had very nice weather pretty much the entire time. I had a liner then and I always only bring a liner - end March early April too.
Some recommendations between your start and end point include: Estella - Albergue Agora, Los Arcos - Casa de la Abuela, Belorado - Casa Waslala Pension

Hola Mendo Girl. My wife, my niece and her husband and my neighbor and I will be walking there at the same time. One of us is old and slow (me) so say Buen Camino as you zoom past us. We will each carry a silk liner treated with permethrin and a light down or synthetic cover. This is my favorite time of year on the Camino. Buen Camino

Starting late Sep I took a single season down bag with me. For the first 2.5 weeks, there was a bit of a heatwave, but even so I made use of the bag at night, even if I had it unzipped or half open. Then it started to get colder and I was especially glad of it. But as ever, we are all different - some run cold, some hot.

Albergues I stayed in that I would recommend in that stretch:

Puente La Reina: Albergue Estrella Guia
Estella: Agora Hostel
Navarette: Albergue La Sombre Del Laurel
Azofra: Albergue Municipal De Peregrinos De Azofra
Granon: Hospital De Peregrinos San Juan Bautista
Ages: Albergue El Pajar De Ages

My wife and I walked that part in Sept, she sleeps hot and rarely used her sleeping bag. I sleep cold and used it every night.
We are in roughly same but opposite shoulder season now, so try it at home. Can you sleep with just the liner?

Annually - often more - from 2014

I’d advise checking the weather forecast right up to the day of departure. I typically walk from mid September through to early April.

September can often be lovely and warm and dry - or totally the opposite.
