Hi, how was the weather for you? I am planning on doing the walk in late may as well.

@PrivatePranksters I left SJPP late May and so was walking in Spain in June- in what happened to be the coldest June in Spain for ten years I gather! I posted home my good wind jacket in Estella thinking I wouldn't need it, and ended up wishing I still had it many times! The weather did not start to get warm until I had nearly finished crossing the Meseta. But even then, it only reached low 30s on the warmest days, so was not too hot, and I tended to start early. Some days were quite wet.
