Yeah one trail runner/trainer. The other a night-time sandle.
Looking good, but what is a footy, a sunny, and a trackie?
And here was me thinking you were an Aussie!Apologies! Scots language is not descriptive, haha.
Footy = DriFit Football shirt (longsleeve)
Sunny = Sunglasses (UV protective)
Trackie = Quick dry tracksuit bottoms.
Except when you wake at the middle of the light and you want to avoid waking others…You don’t need a headlamp in August.
If it's going to be 35+°C and you want to start super early to beat the heat it can be a good idea.You don’t need a headlamp in August.

i kidnly disagree. while in august 2022 it was so hot, that i woke up long before sunrise to walk while its still cool. i needed my headlight for those first few hours. Also - in albergue if you wake up earlier or need to go to bathroom during night, it is handy. there are headlight that are ultra leight, getting only 40-60 extra gramms in your pack, back helpful in some situations.You don’t need a headlamp in August.
Three shirts and two pairs of boxers? I’d reverse that.
Assume one pair of shoes is very lightweight?
I totally agree with being quiet. about lights at night - my headlight has though a red light too, excactly not to disturb others. theres nothing worse than trying to rest and be aimed with a white pointy light to your face. brrrI am not a fan of the headlamp in the bunk room. I use a tiny red map reading light pointed only at the floor. If you an early riser, please leave the bunk room like a ghost. Quietly throw all your belongings into the middle of your sleep sack and carry them out to the common room to pack to avoid disturbing others.
I am a total fan of headlamp in room. Stops them from turning on sidelamps and overhead. I have this headlamp and it works awesome- the red lamp is perfect brightness as to not disturb others - its only 1.5 oz, usb-c rechargable and the band glows in the dark- I used to use a small red flashlight for fishing but hands free is bestI am not a fan of the headlamp in the bunk room.

I had to give lessons on the albergue ninja tactics to my university student group on the Camino last winter... I remember on my first Camino being in awe of a guy who was an experienced pilgrim and that he never woke anyone in the bunk room. He was there and then he was gone each morning!Good Ol' ex-SoCal Valley girl here - Like OMG - gag me with a spoon!!I love the slang from other parts of the world. It makes life more fun and interesting.

One of the perks of being male on the Camino, a very simple kit. It will be hot, I did my last Camino in 2019 during this time and I was so happy to be a natural early riser. Start early, stop early before the heat really kicks in. I used my cell phone light during the early morning departure but have used a headlamp in the past, either one will get you going in the dark. Please me mindful of sleeping heads. Yes, become an Albergue ninja - quiet as a mouse when leaving. Unfortunately, some have not learned this skill yet, the hope is they will catch on.
I'm very excited for you and Buen Camino!
Yes, yes, this is the goal. I was told by my fellow pilgrims whom I ran into in the afternoons. When did you leave? Never a peep.I had to give lessons on the albergue ninja tactics to my university student group on the Camino last winter...

Bitchin! (And for those that don't know, it isn't an insult, or complaining, but an exclamation of positivity.)Good Ol' ex-SoCal Valley girl here - Like OMG - gag me with a spoon!!I love the slang from other parts of the world. It makes life more fun and interesting.
Assuming PJ bottoms?1x PJB
GOALS!!I met a Korean woman yesterday who has the most minimal kit if anyone I've met. She has no backpack or bag of any kind. Everything goes into her pockets! The downside was that she had to put on wet socks this morning - her only pair.
