Hi all, just a quickie.
My friend is currently on the CF just after Burgos and has reported back to me that it's quite cold and damp. I plan to meet up with him mid May and I don't fancy walking in the rain. My question is, is there someone on here I could speak to to arrange a bit of sunny weather? I've been saving up and have just under five English pounds in my bribe fund should I need to 'grease a few palms'.

Thank you in advance,
Hugs,
Andy x

I'm not sure which one you are in your profile photo, but if you're the one on the right I think you will be ok with current weather. Ignore all the posts that are being a bit bearish about the weather.
I've walked several caminos but always in warm sunny weather. I couldn't bear 2 weeks in the rain. It's the polar opposite of what I consider acceptable. 🐻
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

If you bribe me well I might stop my rain dance rites I have been performing for days now ...

Your avatar clearly indicates you are a fluffy bear and those indeed should fear rain as they get all soaked up!
BTW, who is the guy posing to the left of you?

Perhaps the rainy, cool weather will discourage fair weather pilgrims and clear the way a little?
Not judging from all the other threads about recent full albergues...

OP, definitely tongue in cheek, but since you're going to see the bones of one who may have touched the Divine ( to shamelessly steal @Tincatinker wonderful phrase), you may want to consider praying in St James' belief system 😉

Buen Camino

It is just a combination of water and cool walking conditions.

The water helps the vegetation grow and look stunning while the cooler temperatures help to make walking more pleasant.

Once you are in the company of your friend, walking in a beautiful environment, stretching your body a little bit out of its comfort zone and meeting lots of new, nice people then you will realise that this is the place for you to be at this time in your life.

Enjoy.

What ever the weather.

Nice to hear from you again Andy (how's Randy, Sandy and Candy?)

In response to your question I think you should bribe @trecile. She does supply a huge amount of help for free but I haven't seen her summon great walking weather for anything less than 10€. Maybe you can make up the deficit with charm.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc

Randy is currently staggering his way toward Fromista (if anyone near there spots a handsome, if slightly bewildered looking, Canadian, be sure to say hello!)
I fly out May 18th and will track him down using my newly invented device I like to call the Randytracker2000 (patent pending).
Depending how far he gets I'm guessing we should be found roughly around the Sarria area, Randy athletically bounding along and me covering a solid 5km a day with my dodgy knee. Truly a sight to behold.
(I'll see if Randy wants to chip in to @trecile's pricey weather assistance)
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
