JohnnieWalker said:Hola - I agree. September will still be warm but may get colder especially mornings and evenings in the higher elevations. I find a merino wool base layer ideal as it is light and great for layering in the temperature drops. Regards John
Layering gives you more flexibility, so once you have a base and middle layer, and are carrying a light fleece and rain-jacket, then you can can add a warm layer, or a waterproof layer, or both, depending on what you need. Three options to stay warm, dry(ish) and stop the wind. A heavy coat is only ever going to be one option.katiawt said:Thanks
I1ll think of a three layers clothing. I was thinking of a more heavy coat but I´ll take your advice for sure!!

Rob, the first time I walked in 2008 I took the road also- as recommended by locals. The GR65 route to Aubrac was saturated after heavy rainfall and there was heavy fog that day. But you might have to walk again: this year the weather was glorious and I was so glad I could walk the GR65 and see the views. I was more in danger of getting sunstroke this time!!- but oh the views were simply 'to die for' and this day ranks right up there as one of the happiest on this year's Camino.robertt said:Some pilgrimage-as-achievement types told me I was soft for taking the road down from Nasbinals instead of going through heavy snow and possible white-out on the GR65. Soft! I blushed. As a shameless dawdler, I was flattered.rob
