I am planning on doing the Le Puy (or even an slight earlier starting point) to Finesterre next September with three of my children.
HOWEVER an adoption that we were months away from completing has just fallen thru leaving me a little extra funds and a heart to heal...I'm thinking about maybe doing a Le Puy camino by myself starting in Mid March (hubby might join me for the SJJP part or even the Burgos part) . I have to be back in the States by May 21.
I typically do longer days then the average pilgrim, and only have one Camino under my belt (SJJP to Finesterre and Muxia last year).
I know this past March going over the Pyreneese was bad weather wise...I wondered is Le Puy comparable to that or might the the conditions be better then the Pyreneese? If I do this I would be leaving on March 15 or 16th.
Thanks in advance,

We started in LePuy on April. 30, 2004 and went to Figeac. It was incredibly beautiful (one of my favorite Camino sections) with daffodils all over, but rained pretty much every day. Snowed a couple of inches in Aubruc (photo). We felt we were prepared for it because we had down jackets, good raingear, and sleeping bags. Trail markings (at that time--don't know if they have improved or not) disappeared when the fence markings, etc. were covered with snow. One woman became disoriented and lost on the trail and was so frightened by the experience that she left the trail. Bottom line, I would only do it if you are prepared for plenty of rain and some snow.
