    Hello, I plan on going across the meseta (starting in Burgos) approx Dec 29/30. I have a "Season 1-2, 150g/m2" sleeping bag that has a "Comfort Temperature 8 deg C" rating. My question is, given I may more than likely be staying in unheated albergues, and the outside temp may be as low as -4...

    This is exactly what happened to me. Pack didn't fit my body and ended up carrying all weight on my shoulders... Not much fun.
