    LIVE from the Camino Vadiniense October 2023

    Bedding and rain gear decision questions

    I am heading to St. Jean on September 14 and am hoping to get to Santiago by October 15 or 16. I am pretty well-prepared but I have two packing/supplies questions. These are both climate-related. I am wondering if I will need a light (1Kg) sleeping bag or if a sheet and fleece liner will be...
