[QUOTE="skydiva, post: 1114741, member: 82119"] If you have to ask, I'd say yes! :) Sorry, I'm just joking, LOL. I feel you! I'm always nervous about what I carry, the quantity, and I've walked 4 Caminos!! I honestly carried way too much on my first 2 Caminos. You'd think I would have learned after the first! One learns to quickly downsize and either donate to pilgrims in need along the way, or give to the donation bins scattered at different Albergues along the way. Looking at your list, it looks very reasonable. [LIST] [*]You might be fine with just 2 or even 1 sports bra. [*]Even 2-3 socks would be fine. [*]1 long shirt and 1 pair of pants may serve as well for 10 days. Depends on if you mind washing your clothes as often as you feel you need to? I'd personally go with 1 pair of pants and maybe a sarong or shorts for when washing rather than 2 pair of pants. Oh I noticed you also have leggings. 1 pair of pants is fine with leggings. It's all about the layers. End of March/April will still be a bit chilly. Depends on your tolerance to the cold. A buff / beanie / thin gloves might be helpful also. I wore only one pair of pants over 42 days! A sarong and leggings for when I washed, in the height of summer! But you're going early spring. Way different. If you are walking over the Pyrenees, be prepared for any weather. Same for Galicia. Layers is where it is at. [*]A cotton shirt might want to be switched for lightweight but warm poly-merino mix? Or even silk, Something quik-dry. Cotton tends to hold water. Depends on your comfort. It's not too hot yet. [*]Do you have a first aid kit? That can add weight. [/LIST] Your list looks quite good to be honest! Weight tends to add up in the smaller knick knacks for me, especially electronic gadgets (batteries, camera, phone charger, cables, adaptors, etc). If you're under 9-11 lbs, that's a good weight to aim for, I find, before water and snacks. I ALWAYS carry too much weight in water and food. I dislike going without. I would suggest a small carry sac/backpack. Otherwise, it's looking quite lean, unless you have unlisted extras, which again can add up. BTW, what kind of backpack and inner sacs do you have? Plastic, waterproof? Rain cover? Hope this helps!!! Buen Camino. It'll be amazing!!! And you'll do great. Where are you walking from - to? [/QUOTE]
