I'm planning a "there and back again" Camino that goes from St. Jean to Muxia and back again. This would be for 2018, starting (probably) in the last week of August and ending sometime in November. Since most pre-modern pilgrims would have had to walk back home, I'm wondering about the value of that long walk back. Is it important in some way? On a very practical level, what kind of weather am I likely to hit in the Pyrenees before November 15? If any of you have done this, or have thoughts about any aspect of this, I'd be most grateful to hear them. I'll be 66 when I do this, so older than most--but younger than some--and I've done two Caminos, so I have some idea what this is about. I was always amazed and delighted by the few peregrinos I saw walking east.
