    Sleeping bag needed in June?

    Sarria pilgrims

    From experience walking in a group like this is very different from walking solo. I found that most of my interactions were with fellow group members which insulated me somewhat from some of the negativity that could be encountered from fellow solo pilgrims. That said I didn't encounter...

    Pillows in albergues

    Another option is to stick your tee shirt over it as well if you want to have a cooler fabric.

    Brierley Guide ????

    I like the wise pulgrim app. The elevation guide is great, it weighs nothing, it would be great if the elevation would open to your current location..... I think it is all you need. N

    Absolutely, conversely if you take out your brierly guide and leave it on the table, I find that's the It means I'm open for a chat. I've found it always works.

    Backpack

    If you have time left try experimenting with the straps. Changing the weight ratios from shoulder to hip or vise versa can make all the difference.

    Washing clothes

    Alburges generally don't have soap or towels as one would find in hotels. I just used a good quality shower gel in travel size. This did body hair (I don't have much) and clothes. If it's mild enough for hair I second it was mild enough for anything.

    Yes SJPdP to burgos I would choos as well. There is a good variety of landscape. And what's more it leaves you with a perfect excuse to return!
