Sarria to Santiago in December

[LouiseG]

Hi
im going to be walking the last 100km of the pilgrimage, from Sarria to Santiago, in the middle of december. Im hoping to cover about 20km a day.

can anyone tell me what will the weather be like?

Im an inexperienced walker and have no equipment so any advice on what I will definately need for the five days walking would be much appreciated. Im on a tight budget so cheap outdoor website addresses etc would be welcome!

thanks
Louise

Louise - good luck with your planning. There are a number of websites which give hisptorical information such as: http://www.weatheronline.co.uk/Europe.htm

However the weather has been so unpredictable recently I think the only reliable resource would be weather predictions nearer the time. I think you need to plan for good rain gear and layers of clothing against the cold.

There are a number of packing lists on this site and others. Look at the CSJ webite http://www.csj.org.uk/ which has a huge resource of information and they also have a booklet about Pilgrimages in Winter.

Can you let us know where you are so that members might recommend suppliers to you?
