I am a Canadian older woman , age 72, walking solo. Planning short stages at least in beginning. Just plan to walk for a month, likely won't finish at Santiago, but plan to enjoy the journey. I plan to stay in private albergues and book ahead. See you on The Camino!!

Brenda16,
You must be very excited as soon you will be on your way.
October/November is a great time to walk with generally golden days and cool nights. Do be aware however that many albergues started to close mid October during earlier, easier years however there was always some place open .
For personal commentary regarding walking several years when over 70 at this time on the CF see my Camino Gazetteer. This also lists my late autumn-winter/kit.
On the CF by mid November it will be cold. On the Meseta the wind can be fierce blowing directly into your face. Hail and snow might occur. Late November 2012 at O Cebreiro the snow was a meter deep. Be prepared.

Whenever/wherever you do go
Carpe diem and Buen Camino!
