I had no idea Ivar was a Coug. That guy gets around! We don't live far from there now, and get back to Pullman occasionally. The only place you can get a can of Cougar Gold and ice cream at Ferdinands!
Ivar, our Forum Founder is also a Washington State Alum. Go Cougars. I'd sure love some of that Cougar Gold cheese and their wonderful ice cream. Not every University has their own dairy and creamery :-)
I know where thats coming from but they weren't dark ages for the people that lived 'em. Just look at the textiles, the jewellery, the statuary, the social structures, the emergence of cohesive religious practice before the impositions of Rome...
As long as we’re veering off course, I’ve seen all sorts of umbrellas, things that look like a buggy cover and buffs, all of which will keep the sun off but none of them make a Camino fashion statement quite like a hat.
I would carry a really lightweight duffel bag that you can offload heavier items into that you don't need during the day to send via pack transport.
@J Willhaus has recommended this type of bag available on Amazon.uk. I recently purchased one...
