What are peoples thoughts on bedding? Do I bring my light sleeping bag or leave it behind and use the bedding provided? My concern is bedbugs. I start el Norte tomorrow but can leave my bag with a friend.
 
Altus Poncho (ATMOSPHERIC H30)
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
I have walked the full Norte and unless you stay in private guest house or hotel type accomodations, you will need a sleeping bag or liner for the albergues. I always brought my lightweight sleeping bag and was glad to have it with me in late April/May. A liner would probably suffice in summer.
Enjoy the Norte; it is special!
 
I walked it with a silk sleep sack into mid November. It got cold but I wore my clothes and I was fine.
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Bringing your own bedding will not protect you against bedbugs. If they are in the mattress or bed frame they will bit you where you are not covered. I have always used my own silk sleep sack and/or sleeping bag and I was bitten on the both the French route and on the Norte. One time in a private albergue and one time in a municipal one.
 
The timing of this question was timed perfectly though I'll be on the Frances beginning in mid-Sept.
I have a liner and debating whether to bring a light camp blanket as well.

I am in Madrid now and a silk sleep sack is the most that I can tolerate at the moment.

Most albergues offer a blanket but not often a top sheet, so you liner sounds perfect.
