I have a suggestion. Consider walking the Camino Madrid, the Portuguese Camino, or the longer and more difficult Camino de la Plata. I have walked the Camino Frances and the three I mentioned in their entirety. If you want to avoid the hoardes of pre bookers and otherwise “frivolous” pilgrims...
I walked Camino Frances in September/October of 2013 and Camino via de la Plata September/October of 2014. Unless you are planning on sleeping outside you do not need a sleeping bag. We take sleep sacks, many of the albergues have blankets and yeah if you are cold wear your sweater.
