In reply to jethro kiernan:
- Early summer till 1st july ok.
- Mid summer difficult.
- September to October ok.
Have done it early and late and not pre booked anywhere.
Also depends if you can do bigish distances and split into 2/3 or 4 stages which coincides hotspots you would be ok, the main refuges which used to be the highlight of the tour are no longer pleasant, or it might be me not liking being in a factory farm or Instagram background.
Some great farm / family stays just off the route and dont let the book stages dictate your accommodation some good places mid book stage.
