My brother is walking the French Way very soon and on short notice. I’m trying to help him get prepared.
I’ve walked the Norte in Aug/Sept and it was a hot one so I don’t want to bias my advise as I’m thinking the French way in February can get pretty cold.
To combat this I have advised a layer of smart wool underwear and addition of a light down packable coat and zip off pants to the normal mix of cloths most pilgrims end up with in their pack. I’m guessing he will be more of a pension person than an Albuquerque so I’m not advising bringing any sleeping bags.
He’s in his 60’s and decent shape.
Any advise for a newbie Camino walker on the French way starting around February 10th or so?
