I am looking at 'undertaking' the el camino in April 2012 (right around the corner). I've seen so much information regarding packing and traveling tips. Of utmost importance to me is being prepared - packing. Recently came back from Moscow and literally lived with two pairs of clothes so packing light is not a problem ALTHOUGH - I am most concerned with packing for the weather - especially for mountain-elevation trips....
I know time is approaching quickly. Any recommendations on what to bring to keep warm? What do I need for April 2012 (I have a north face fleece which is fairly warm; do I need a coat? Have cargo pants, do I need thermal underwear or lined pants?). Any other recommendations for warmth? If I fail to bring it, can I buy it there (had to do this in Moscow, but it was very pricey).
Last; shoes - for me - tennis shoes and I have some timberland hiking boots. Tennis shoes are awesome for me (I'm a foot and ankle surgeon -) Bad idea for tennis shoes, (other than not too warm).
Appreciate any thoughts.
Thank you
