    It's been done before... cutlery/bowl/cup?

    We each take a microwave cup, a small bowl with a tight lid, a spork, and a pocket knife. The bowl is uselful for taking leftovers on the trail. Obviously, other folks might not find these to be needed, but we find them worth the few ounces.

    Sleeping bag on VdlP in springtime

    We've carried 55F sleep sacs from REI on all of our caminos, including spring on the VdlP. In most albergues there are blankets to borrow, and if there are not, we use extra layers of clothing to sleep in. Like you, we think the light weight is worth it.

    Anybody using Frogg Toggs on the El Camino Frances?

    I used Frogg Toggs this spring, with lots of rain on a 36 day Camino. They worked well. Positives: very light weight, cover you from head to toe, the material is stronger than I expected (I'd probably take the same pair next time), the legs act as 'gators' to keep my boots dry. The only...

    Baselayers

    Spring weather can be unpredictable. There will be very warm (high 20s C) days and near freezing mornings. Snow is not likely, but certainly possible. Be prepared and Buen Camino.
