Bedbugs
I hung the pack using a cord round the haul loop, then lifted the poly bag over it & drew it tight with the poly bag drawcord. Guess you could knot the bag opening. I treated the polybag with permethrin, its safe for us but not cats or Canadians.( Or is that DEET I'm thinking about.)- Mr Magoo

Reply to linkster : Thank you for most interesting link to Nylofume bag, seems much better than a poly bag, affordable too. Guess small 32 litre pack would fit in it.

Camping legally on the Francés – albergues that allow to pitch a tent?
I used a home made poncho/tarp a few times in September 2017, when I did the Primitivo. Once I'd joined the Frances I used it again at a private Albergue in Pedrouzo. Albergue "O Burgo". I was made very welcome to camp on the big lawn at the back. Excellent Albergue, and good value at cafe next...- Mr Magoo
