    I am planning my trip for 2019. Just wondering if there is any need for a light weight tent for camping? My wife may struggle off the start and I was thinking I may need to stop prior to reaching the next town. Is this an option?

    Sleeping outside?

    So, sleeping outside. What are the circumstances that would motivate a pilgrim to do so? Where exactly do pilgrims sleep outside; park bench? Street corner? Random field? Is it possible that I'll need to sleep outside during my Sept 2017 CF?! I'd prefer not to. Do I have alternatives? Tia!
