    Winter Walk?

    Hello everyone :) It's been a very long time since I posted something on the forum as my Camino keeps postponed due to one reason or another and I'm just wondering, has anyone ever walked it in January/February time?

I did the Via de la Plata in mid August a couple of years ago to cross that off my bucket list....now winter on the CF seems to be a reasonable next step.:) One of my reasons is that I have walked the CF several times and really enjoy it....but...

    Winter Camino December & January

    Hi all, I've been reading a number of posts from the veterans here (thank you all) about late fall Caminos. I'm planning a walk from Santiago to Rome, and I'm still in the early idea gathering. One possibility is to leave Santiago in early December, which leads me to my questions. I know no...

    Short winter Camino notes

    General notes after a short winter Camino (11-21 Dec 2014, Hornillos del Camino to Villafranca del Bierzo) Sleeping bag. All those lists that suggest a sleeping bag good to 30 degrees are not recommending that you camp out. They are recognizing that quite a few albergues shut off the heat at...

    What to pack for Monday?

    Ah, the months of provisioning and planning are behind me. Monday is it. And I'm going back and forth about so many things -- all clothing-related. At home I just keep all my gear in the back of my car and I always offer to drive my fellow hikers so I can make my final decisions about what to...

    We're thinking of hiking the VDLP in Jan or Feb.. I'd love to hear about your experience doing the same! How's the weather? Are the albergues open? How many people are hiking? The stages seem very long; I maxed out at 27 km in the Frances. We would consider camping, but we're not keen on...
