    Silk sleep liners vs Cheap liners?

    You can get by. On cold nights make sure the bunk room windows are closed and use a pilgrim blanket. Don’t go to bed wet or sweaty. Jamie

    Silk sleep liners vs Cheap liners?

    I used a Sea to Summit silk liner May 24 to June 22nd 2016. It was fine except for 2 cold nights during which I couldn’t sleep due to the low temperature (Roncesvalles and Viloria del Rioja). April 5th might be a bit chilly for a silk liner. They often have pilgrims blankets available but that...

    Shower footwear

    This is a long thread and I have not read each comment so I apologize if this is redundant. As a physician I have a few concerns about not wearing flip flops in the shower. Firstly people shave their faces and legs in the shower and often cut themselves. Other bodily fluids are sometimes...

    Do I Need Sleepingbag In May?

    I walked the Frances May 23rd 2016 and used a sea to summit silk liner. I specifically remember 3 out of 28 nights I wished I had a sleeping bag. If you are a bit damp or if the windows are open it is will be a cold night. Sometimes there are pilgrims blankets, however, you may opt against...
