lynettefoo said:I did it last year and I know I am going to get alot of slack for this but bring a hair dryer. It's worth it for drying your clothes. I am doing it again this year when I go in Oct.
It will be the same list. They probably will be noncommittal on what is actually open! Plan to call ahead and ask.
Hello! I'm starting from St. Jean around the 12th of October so I'll be a bit behind you but perhaps I'll see you at some point on the trail!!! My name is Elizabeth and I'm traveling from Portland, OR. Hope to meet you!! Happy trekking!!I am planning on walking the Camino Frances leaving St. Jean in October 8 2013 and arriving in Santiago around the middle of November. Has anyone walked during this time period? I wanted to walk during the season of Fall because I do not like really hot weather. What is the weather like in the Fall? Rain? Snow? Also if anyone is going to walk about the same time I am I would particularly like to hear from you.
I've walked several times in late Fall.
Pretty much what everyone else said...
One of my favorite times to walk!

Only Mundicamino is in English, but you can use GoogleTranslate. As you'll see you have two routes from BCN (Montserat).
Ultreia!
Also...I fly into and out of Madrid....any good ideas of how to get to SJPP?
Hello margaret , I follow you and read your blog that I like very much. I am looking for new posts on your camino 2013, bonne routeMarlene,
Another place to stay on the route Napoleon over the mountain is the ferme at Honto . See >> http://caminodesantiago.consumer.es./albergue-ferme-ithurburia
I have never stayed there since I always take the Valcarlos alternative and walk through the mountain pass. Here is info for the albergue in Valcarlos >> http://caminodesantiago.consumer.es./albergue-de-luzaide-valcarlos and further comments describing the Valcarlos alternate route. >>http://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/sjpp-to-roncesvalles-–-in-praise-of-the-lower-route.16075/
Perhaps our paths may cross for I hope to be in Valcarlos on the night of October 16.
Buen Camino,
Margaret Meredith

Hi Marlene...did you end up walking in Nov/ Dec? I want to go this year...how did it turn out? Will I be frozen and wet?Thank you for those simple words of encouragement. I've been a bit concerned about walking in November/December, and am sure there will be 'cool' moments and all sorts of weather, but am hoping my experiences with eastern Canada winters will help. November is my only 'free month' to do this, so am adding a couple weeks to it in December, and give it a try. Thanks for the idea of the hair dryer. I'll see what i can find.
Shalom everyone.
I am thinking the beginning of November ...I am just worried about the cold...and places to sleep...Arlene,
I have the same questions and would love to hear how the hair dryer worked. We will join the Camino after Ponferrada end of November, and you?
Not to worry. Bring layers, rain gear, hat and gloves. Some places will be closed but there will be many fewer pilgrims so there is plenty of accommodation. I walked in November 2012 from Astorga and am starting in mid-October this year from SJPP.I am thinking the beginning of November ...I am just worried about the cold...and places to sleep...
Have now encountered news from Orisson that they close the 18th of October. I would love to go over the Pyrenees but concerned that I can not do it all in one day. Does anyone know of any other place to stay besides Orisson?
I shall hope to begin the trek on Nov. 3. I can go around by the road, but was hoping not. Any thoughts?
Also...I fly into and out of Madrid....any good ideas of how to get to SJPP?
You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your blog book and memories.I have often walked the CF in late October and November and hope to again this year. These are wonderful months to walk with generally clear days and chilly or cold nights. However you
must BE PREPARED for varied weather.
The welcome at those albergues which are open is sincere and the hospitaleros usually know who is open on the next stage. Most open albergues will either be heated or have blankets.
Weather is a continual camino preoccupation. Warm but lightweight layers are what to wear. Perhaps you would find my Kit list and blog Camino Gazetteer at http://mermore.blogspot.com/ useful. For me each camino day is a different blend of weather, topography, pack weight, personal strength and endurance; one never knows what each new day will bring.
Happy planning and Buen Camino!

I am starting 21 oct from Pamplona! My name is BarbaraHello All,
I arrive to BArcelona on the 19th Oct evening and planning to go to Pamplona on the next day and to start from there. I always wanted to the camino and now having a month off I decided very quickly to go for it. I want to start from Pamplona as I am afraid to be slow and not to be able to do the entire camino in a month.
What do the experts think?
Anyone starting around the 21st Oct? I have also seen that many of you suggests to not to start Sunday or Monday.
I am a bit scared from the cold, so thank you very much for all the info above, I feel much better knowing that the weather will be managable
