    Risk no sleeping bag in November ?

    A question for the winter walkers.. I'm taking the plunge, and am planning to walk from Logrono for just under 3 weeks, starting 30th October. I've only ever taken a silk liner on previous caminos, and relied on the blankets in the albergues. Is this a crazy thing to do in November? I've found...

    Ultra-Light Rectangle Sleeping Bag

    I’ve struggled with choosing the right sleeping bag for the Camino. As I find the Mummy design very restrictive, I chose a 2-pound (907-gram), rectangle sleeping bag on my first Camino in April 2013. On my Camino this past April 2014, I said screw-it and brought a 550-gram Mummy design...

    Do I need to bring a sleeping-bag in september?

    Hello forum-members, I am planning to walk on CN from August 30, and on for two weeks. As far as can get in that time, without any hurry (this walk is a test of my back's capability, after just having recovered from a herniated disc). My question is; do I need to bring a solid sleeping-bag, or...

    Sleeping Bags

    Can I use just a travel sheet or is a sleeping bag essential? Do the albergues/refugios have blankets to hire and are they bed-bug safe?

    Primitivo in April and over-thinking the sleeping bag versus silk sack options

    On Easter this year, I plan to start the Primitivo and end-up in Finesterre. I try not to be too neurotic about packing light, but after the luxury of doing big slices of the Frances and the Ingles with a silk sleep sack, I have been concerned about Albergues in April and finding adequate...

    A Sleeping Bag Testimony

    I don't have THAT much to say about it yet, but I just wanted to share how in five minutes (actually less) I went from totally planning to deal with acquiring a sleeping after I got to Spain, because I just didn't want to deal with it, and only looking for the right liner, to falling in love...

    Any advice on sleeping bags?

    My partner and I are planning to start our Camino Frances pilgrimage around the end of May and expect to be walking for about 6 weeks. We've researched various different types of sleeping bag, silk sheet sack, travel sacks etc to find a light weight sleep covering that will be warm enough for...

    Sleeping Bags/Liners are ESSENTIAL!

    The question comes up regularly on the Camino forums, 'Will I need a sleeping bag in ......................." Most of the albergues require that pilgrims have a sleep 'sack' of some sort, not for their warmth, or for their comfort, but for hygiene purposes and to protect the mattresses...

    Albergue Sleeping Kit?

    I have previously cycled Le Puy to SJPP where I camped along the way. This fall I plan to cycle the Camino Frances and will be leaving the camping kit at home. Therefore, my question is about Albergues and what one needs to bring versus what is included. Should I be bringing a sleeping bag...

    Packing..do i really need a sleeping bag for October

    My flight leaves in 48 hrs and am busy packing and want to cut down on my pack weight. I am reading mixed comments about the need for a sleeping back for October hike on camino frances.

    Sleeping Bag or just Silk Liner??

    One question I still have is this. We are travelling the first 3 weeks of May 2011 and I was looking at a lightweight sleeping bag but it still will take up room in my backpack. I was considering using a silk liner instead for protection on the beds and leaving the sleeping bag at home. Do the...
