Very rarely. Take your own - or a 4” circle of rubber which does pretty much the same job.When you want to wash your clothes in hand, do the sinks in the bathrooms or in designated areas in albergues (esp. camino de norte) have plugs?
I brought a wide lipped plug and used it maybe twice and was glad I had it.When you want to wash your clothes in hand, do the sinks in the bathrooms or in designated areas in albergues (esp. camino de norte) have plugs?

You will not regret having it. I always pack mine and more often than not, it is needed for washing clothing and sometimes dishes. An insignificant weight penalty for a useful item.Thank you. I have a universal rubber plug that I take everywhere, so I will take it with me again. It is small and light.
A small circle of plastic makes a good plug. Even a 3 inch circle of a ziplock bag works greatWhen you want to wash your clothes in hand, do the sinks in the bathrooms or in designated areas in albergues (esp. camino de norte) have plugs?
I take one too! I like baths in hotels and sometimes the plug doesn’t work!Thank you. I have a universal rubber plug that I take everywhere, so I will take it with me again. It is small and light.
I sure get the point. I am piling things at the moment and will weigh everything next Monday and see (flying on Tuesday).I injured myself carrying too much. 10g is definitely nothing...until it is put with too many other little nothings that have added several kg to total carry weight. The one thing I am most grateful for is learning from these wonderful Forum Members around us, is to make one thing do the job of and replace those many little things.
Once the carry list is made and accumulated, handle each piece, (it may seem useless to do but bear with it), determine in your mind what that piece can do beyond its main purpose. Look at a sock. We usually use one light and one heavy pair of socks per day. Heavy socks can, as previously mentioned, stop a drain or stand in as mitts if the wind gets too freezing. Light socks, wet or dry, can shield hands from the Sun, cushion the hands on walking poles...just imagine possibilities. Do this with everything. This is where reductions are made. Make less do more.

We took a plug and it was one of the most used thing we took. We found quite a few albergues didn't have them and when we stayed in a hotel they had a bath but not a plug so it was a treasure to have a bathThank you.

I found that the 4" circle of rubber was the most user friendly option.Very rarely. Take your own - or a 4” circle of rubber which does pretty much the same job.
An elegant solution - well done!I made this foam plug. Works on all sinks and is so light it would not even register on my gram scale.View attachment 123800

Made me smile to see you live in . . . Bath!Whenever you travel, anywhere, home or abroad, ALWAYS take a travel plug; it's the law.
I had a travel plug for about twenty years, always stayed in my washbag. It got perished and crumbled away so I chucked it; recently went to Morocco, lovely modernised riad but no plug; ah I said, I have a solution, reached in my washbag, remembered! Got a new one as soon as we got home. DOH!
A standard European hand basin needs a 38mm plug while bathtubs have a 42mm one. My old travel "sink stopper" will cover a 50mm hole.What is the diameter of this?
