Hi everyone.
We are close to locking in our dates for next year and I have been pouring over the stats. Most people, least people, heat, rain etc. I know that when all is said and done we will have a fantastic Camino regardless of departure date. And we cannot predict the weather etc etc.
But I'm curious. Given our preferences, when would you aim to depart SJPdP?
So for those who have already walked the CF from SJPdP .........your feedback would be very helpful.
Now we all have different ideas of what is hot, cold, wet etc. But we will try to aim for, a departure date that gives us the best chance of:
Given that my better half is about as comfortable in the rain...as a Cat. That might be the highest priority
I think we would rather be too hot, than wet and cold.
So when would you depart?
I have excluded August as that is peak season and hot I presume. If there are other times you would select, please mention them. Sadly the poll only allows 8 options.
Please pick the start date that you think might best suit our preferences, rather than 'I love the cold so I go in December!'

- Midday temperatures not lower than 15 degrees C at the start. (59F). Though of course that will drop as we go 'over the top'. And will warm up week by week as we progress.
- Midday temperatures generally below 25C (77F) by the end (or hottest part). That should give us a fairly wide 'window'.
- Minimise rain days.
