I view it as a personal failing if I don't spend more on food than shelter. :roll:save the money for nice restaurants

Ultralight Big Agnes FlyCreek 2...weighs in at 1.25 kg with footprint.
Split between two of us, that is a scant 600 odd grams each.
Worth it, I say! We'll be using it on the CF in October this year.
If you can take a bivvy or an ultralight tent, it might work for you.
Oh, to be fair, our sleep pads do weigh in at about 680 grams, so each of us will be
carrying an additional 1.28 kg of "optional" weight. (I don't consider sleeping bag
optional). My pack will weigh about 7.5 kg.
The right albergue is the one that you find when you are ready to stop. They are so frequent on the Camino Frances that there is no need to push on. Perhaps your knees would appreciate your leaving the tent at home.bardos said:I am 66 years old, with bad knees. The thing is I cannot trust my legs and my body to always arrive at the right albergue and the right town at the right time.
