- Time of past OR future Camino
- August 2024 (planned)
I’ve been planning to just bring a liner instead of a sleeping bag for my Camino Frances, which I’m starting in August 11, so I’ve been planning for very hot weather, (up to 40 degrees C by some accounts) rendering a sleeping bag unnecessary, or so I’ve heard…
…but then, It might take me well into September by the time I reach Galicia and SDC, so I think the weather might change and be cooler by then. I really don’t want to carry a sleeping bag (adds weight and bulk to my backpack), but I might need something more than a liner by the time I get to Galicia. I know I could buy one by the time I need it, but is buying something I might need only 1-2 weeks the best way?
I already have a sleeping bag suitable for mildly cold weather, but it’s very bulky. I’ve seen some compact ones but some of them seem extremely expensive (at least at REI, I was looking yesterday as I visited the store).
I’ve looked up weather forecasts, average temperatures, and it does seem the temperature drops sometime in September. I plan to arrive to SDC between September 11-22, with the latter I think I can expect a weather change, and the liner alone may not suffice.
Any insights/advice?
Thanks!
