We are leaving SJPdP on 9th April and at the age of 79 will only have a sleeping bag silk liner.
I choose you cant walk in a sleeping bag but you can sleep in your rain wear.
I am all about not having to much weight in my pack.
I weigh 77 kgs so max pack weight is 7.7kgs but will aim for 6kgs...
We take 59 days and days of once a week or there about and still don't get to see every thing. Just see some now and see more next Camino like we will do this time
Very personal choice, some like it hot some like it cold.
My choice is a silk rectangular liner as the BB cant get thru.
Layer up with clothes if you need more warmth even your wet weather gear. You can't walk in a sleeping bag 😆

We walked the El Camino SJPdP to SdC in September to end of October in 2016 their Autumn so we now want to walk it in Spring. To leave Le Puy early there will be to much snow so that will answer your question. We have a Argentine friend living in Angers in France and will celebrate my 80th...
