size=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF">I am going to do the camino from Pamplona, starting
April 28th. From what I have gleaned from e-mails is this is a good time to go
in terms of not being difficult to find accomodatons...definitely be prepared
for cold mornings(bring gloves) and much else, for which I am very grateful.
However I still am wondering about rain gear. Intially I intended to be
thinking a poncho that covers me and my back pack, then LLBean staff tried to
stear me towards "rain suit"...I definitely don't like hot but LLBean staff
said rainsuit will keep water out of my boots(good idea)...so what is the
experience out there in dealing with the rain in Spain, particularly on the
meseta. Phil Judd </FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
