[QUOTE="MaryOswald, post: 1190469, member: 85576"] OK. I would like to reply to this post because I can relate. We just finished hiking the Norte for the second time. My pack weight is just about the same as yours. The first time we hiked it, in 2019, I wore my smart wool underwear and sports bra as my bathing suit. I thought that was a great way to cut down on weight so I started this Camino doing the same thing, but found it to be really really unattractive and it was warmer this year so the smart wool stuff just seemed so heavy. So I mailed that ( along with other things) home and bought a swimming suit and felt so much better and ended up swimming A LOT which was absolutely fantastic, and a bit more fun. Another thing: I'm surprised you are bringing 2 pairs of shorts and still come in at 10# pack weight. I wore the same pair every single day ( convertible pants actually, but I never needed the pants part due to the warm weather). I actually loved the simplicity of wearing the exact same thing every day: a hiking "outfit" and a non hiking dress. We washed our hiking clothes in the sink every single day, ringing the bejeezus out of them to get as much water out and every single morning all our clothes were dry. We are just now finishing our Camino experience and met our daughter who brought along a bunch of clothes for me that I had put aside prior to our beginning the Camino. While I love having a few other things to wear, I can't believe how many clothes I put aside! What was I thinking! We sure don't need all the clothes we have, do we? The simplicity of it all is something I am taking away with me, but still, bring a nice bathing suit!! [/QUOTE]
