Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I am starting my fourth Camino around the15/16th of March leaving from St. Jean anyone leaving around that time? Is there anyone who walked that time of the year info would be appreciated as all my walks have been in Sept./Oct.
 
Join our full-service guided tour of the Basque Country and let us pamper you!
I'll be leaving on 11th March, but as I'm 70 don't expect to be very far ahead of you! this is my first Camino. Best wishes Susan

Hope to see you I am 68 started my first walk when I was 64.
 
My husband and I are doing our first Camino with the plan to leave SJPdP on March 15th with the plan of the first stop being at Valcarlos so we should bump into each other.
Always good to catchup with Canadians. Keep an eye out for me as I will be stopping at Valcarlos I have found that the first week should be slow to allow your body to adjust. I have seen a number race to Pamplona only to give it up hurt.
 
I will be walking with my husband and two boys (tweenagers). Arriving in Paris on the 16th March and traveling down to sjpdp some time between 17th-19th. Trevor, we are a couple of hours up the road from you in central Vic We are first timers.
where abouts any ifo find me on Facebook,
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Thanks, I hope so!!! There will be 2 of us. I'm 57, and my good friend Frank is 67, so we're not speed demons either. We plan to stop somewhere 1/2 way to Roncesvalles.

I'm planning my first walk for a mid August to early September departure from SJPdP, 2018. If you've crossed the Pyrenees at that time, how cold does it get at that elevation? Thank you for any and all information you share.

It will be quiet warm, as I have walked in Sept. and found Pamplona 30c so August will still be warm.
 
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.

Thank you. I'll be starting on September 7th and finished with the Pyrenees on the 8th.
 
I will be starting at St Jean on March 11th for my second camino. Last time I started March 4th
How did you find the weather and was there snow about. Much Spring rain?

Hello Trevorcc, I asked a similar question on another thread.
Others suggested to me to check out: https://weatherspark.com/
I did and was impressed. They give great averages for typical temperatures and likelihood of precipitation, based on previous years of data.
Another good source for weather is https://www.wunderground.com/
Note: When I was using WeatherSpark, the city names are specific.... For example, I have noticed that several cities have two different names. For example, the city named: Luzaide/Valcarlos. To find typical weather in that city, I had to use the name: Luzaide. The name Valcarlos was not recognized.
Have fun with it!!! -kevin-

fairly heavy snow the first day at the higher elevations and a few days of light snow. Only had light rain a couple of times. Had a few very cold nights in alberges with no heat. Fairly cool most of the time so hiked with a jacket on. No sweat and no bugs. Had a great time so I am going again in late winter/early spring.
 
I will be starting at St Jean on March 11th for my second camino. Last time I started March 4th
Hi Frank you will be a few days in front I hope we do cross paths.

Best day of the year to start a long walk! March forth on March fourth.

We'll be a day or two ahead of you... And undoubtedly slower, so you'll probably run into us. Buen Camino!
 
Thanks. Hope to catch up and say G'day. Path the way for us Buen Camino and safe travels.
