    Sleeping bag or liner?

    I'm going to walk for a few days in July - starting from Astorga and seeing how far I get. Last time I walked in September, I used a fleece sleeping bag liner and that worked quite well. Do you think it will be warm enough or should I take a sleeping bag as it will be more mountainous? Thank you!

    Hi all, I'm super excited to be walking the Camino Frances in September this year (2018 - starting August 29th and ending around the first week in October). Should I bring a sleeping bag? Or perhaps a sleeping bag liner?(I've seen a couple of microfiber fleece liners that provide a little...

    Hi Everyone! I'm so excited to be walking the Camino in late August this year. I'll be on my own, so I'm a little nervous and hoping to meet some friendly faces along the way.

    Walking The French Way August 29 2018

    Yay!! I'm so excited to be walking The French Way at the end of August 2018. I'm coming from the Cayman Islands, which is as flat as a pancake so I'm very worried about the first couple of days because of the ups and downs. Is there just one route to Roncesvalles, or is there a less steep...
