Thank you! Maybe I’ll bring them then.@Singingheart, I always take a light pair of gloves. Early mornings can be quite cool, and I dislike cold hands. Same for something light to wear on my head. I use poles, so a pair of socks on my hands wouldn't do me so well!
Thanks.Gloves will not be required in October in the "lowland" but maybe in the "highland" (Bruma and beyond ).
This is such good information! Many thanks.Remember that daylight saving time in does not end until late October in Spain. Galicia is also in the wrong timezone so in October the sun will not rise until nearly 09:00 in the Ferrol/Coruna area. Sun set will also be around 19:30. so unless you like walking in the dark, my advise would be to breakfast late and finish early.
When I did my five day walk in September it rained for four days.
I usually use finger less cycling gloves, but mainly because I use hiking poles and they reduce abrasion on my skin. I always use an Austrian wool felt hat in all seasons, It provides shade in summer and soaks up perspiration. In bad weather it keeps your head an neck dry. use thin layers to build up protection for your body and have a merino style thin fleece (plus spare in case you get drenched) that will provide heat retention under your outer jacket if it is cold.
Most likely. We walked it in July and had temps in the 60's.Hi, I'm walking the Camino Ingles at the first of October this year, with a plan for an 8 day walk to Santiago, followed by a walk to Finisterre. I'm 77, I've walked the Camino Frances from SJPDP and the Portuguese Camino, as well as the British Coast to Coast Walk (last September). I carried my full pack on the CF and the PC, but I had a day pack and a transport service for the C2C. Now, on the Ingles, I'm going to carry my full pack again, but I'm not getting any younger, so I'm wanting to pare down any unnecessary baggage. So here's my question: Will I need light-weight gloves and/or a lightweight knit cap on the Ingles (followed by the Camino Finisterre) in the first two weeks of October? I found them useful occasionally on the CF in October, in the higher elevations., and I did use them on the C2C, but I'm wondering if the weather on the Ingles in early October is relatively mild. I realize that it's not much weight, but every little ounce counts, especially the older one gets. Many thanks for any advice.
I think @Marcus-UK is about 30 minutes out on the sunrise/sunset times. If you are prepared to walk from dawn (civil twilight) you should be able to start a bit after 8 am in early October. Check the civil twilight times here for details.Remember that daylight saving time in does not end until late October in Spain.

At the begining of the month 1st of October, Sun Rise is 08:35. In Late October i.e. the 26th Sun Rise is 09:00. After this day light saving time ends and the clocks fall back an hour. Civil twilight is approximately half an hour earlier/later for sun rise and sun set. It is hard to be concise for a tilted rotating object moving in an elipse around a celestial body.I think @Marcus-UK is about 30 minutes out on the sunrise/sunset times.

Otherwise, I agree with his advice.
I always thought it was astrological predictions that were highly variable, whereas the science of astronomy has given us the wherewithal to accurately predict the motion of a wide range of celestial objects, including very precise calculations of sunrise and sunset times, tides, etc, etc.It is hard to be concise for a tilted rotating object moving in an elipse around a celestial body.
Concise v Precise.I always thought it was astrological predictions that were highly variable, whereas the science of astronomy has given us the wherewithal to accurately predict the motion of a wide range of celestial objects, including very precise calculations of sunrise and sunset times, tides, etc, etc.
For example, look at suncalc.net for what can be done using standard astronomical calculations.
You are right, I did misinterpret your comment to be about precision. I should have been more careful!Concise v Precise.
Precise - Possibly too long and too detailed
Concise short and informative.
Bad Concise: Off again, On Again, Going Again - Report by Scottish railway engineer to his board of directors who complained his reports were too long.
