I leave for the Camino Frances in a few days and want to thank all those who asked the questions I had in mind and to the knowledgeable and wise replies from those who answered. I've allowed 39 days from SJPdP which, in retrospect may not be enough as I'm an older woman and intend carrying my backpack from Zubiri, however I know there are alternatives if this proves too much. Easy does it and I will adopt the tortoise as my familiar during this journey!
Thanks all.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

Tortoise is a good one. I tended to address snails as kindred spirits when I saw them on the path, as they also move slowly carrying everything on their back. I try not to leave a trail of slime, though.
 
The 9th edition the Lightfoot Guide will let you complete the journey your way.
Escargot, go slow.
Don't rush your Camino.

Both the tortoises and snails carry camping gear as they always lose out on the albergue "bed race".
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
