graham83 said:Hey,
I'm taking off in March 2010 for my first pilgrimage ever, going this one solo as well. As I'm sure everyone was at this stage I have a few questions.
1. What is the best info book or guide book with general and accommodation info?
2. I'll need to ship my bag ahead to Spain, any recommendations as to method or company to hold the bag safely and cheaply?
3. As I am expecting poor weather, what are some advice from the pros for dealing with the wet and cold?
4. Ive been hearing a variety of costs during the hike. What is the best guess on how much one will spend per day? (30 Euros is what i heard was average)
I'm sure there will be more questions to come, but that will do for now.
Cheers,

Sil has just put a post up on her blog re winter walking, http://amawalker.blogspot.com/2009/10/walking-in-winter.html and she has quite a few quotes on it from people describing conditions in March- April. You might be surprised at how bad some of them could be!!! She also quotes Rebekah from Moratinos who had this to say:BHfmSanDiego said:I'm glad I came upon this particular post. I plan on starting in March too. I've been searching but cannot find anything on the weather from SJPdP to Roncevalles in mid to late March. any suggestions? Barry
