I walked Ingles the last week of October last year. It rained every single day, but only the first day was it a very hard rain. I had a Decathlon poncho, and I loved it. I don’t think it was particularly sweaty. I wore capri leggings and they... -

Like.
On the topic of poncho vs rain jacket, I try and avoid religious arguments. I suspect preference won't be affected by route walked or time of year. Since the Ingles is entirely in Galicia, I am confident in saying some rain gear will be needed. -

Love - Red heart.
@lsg - Wishing you a beautiful, peaceful camino - one that gives sustenance to your pilgrim heart. I note that you’re a resident of Singapore - gosh, it’s fantastic city state but it’s sure a very busy and lively place - particularly in the... -
I'm also neurodivergent walking the Camino Frances starting in late August this year. I'm taking a pair of wired noise-canceling earbuds (wired don't drain phone battery like wireless do). Those, plus a white noise app on my phone, work for...

CarolamS replied to the thread Neurodiversity on the Camino.Last year I started from SJPdP on Aug 22nd, similar to the OP's plans. Whilst busy it was ahead of the September crush. What do you mean by shoulder season? I aimed to walk 20km a day, certainly no more than 25km. It was about two months before I...
