Photos from a Winter Camino

[ivar]

Colm has just uploaded a lot of very nice photos from his camino this January over at the albergue.

Looking at them gives you a good idea of "What is it like to walk during the wither month?"

Thanks Colm!

Wow..... this is certainly quite different from a June experience! I especially loved his version of a 'shadow' photo- with the three shadows on the snow.

Wow. I did my walk in September, and this gives a whole new meaning to the Camino. Being from Texas, U.S. of A. Snow is a very rare occurrence and while beautiful. I can only imagine it.
Congratulations and Buen Camino.

Goodness Colm,
Now I'm ashamed of whining about the snow and ice we encountered last April.....sure we were only in the halfpenny place compared to this!
Gorgeous photographs looking at them made me shiver with the cold....and oddly enough also want to do a 'proper winter Camino' :? .

Hi guys,

I totally recommend the winter camino, I'll be back again to do it, every day was fantastic (well except the Meseta cause I hate walking on the flat).

Remember the weathers only bad if you dont have the right clothes or equipment.

Question: does the Fuente del Vino flow in January?? Some might need more than a glass of courage to get to Santiago in the wintertime....not us Canucks of course! Great pics. Thanks.
