Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

For members who start Camino Frances in August 2018 you can play with the Calendar:

Or you look in the "class of 2018":

Or you play with the search function...

I will hopefully be on the Camino Frances in August as well, but want to start in Somport (Camino Aragonés) on July the 13th.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

As I understand it, August is one of the most popular months so you won't be alone - 'cause I'll be there as well!
I'm arriving in SJPdP Friday the 10th and will hopefully get myself to Santiago within a month or so...
 
There will be thousands of other pilgrims on the Frances in August.

Thats interesting, I've been afraid to walk in July-August as I thought it would be even hotter.
 
Hello, just wondering if it is really that hot to walk in August? I am afraid of the heat but I want to know how hard it is.

Yes July and August is warm and drier than the other months. That can have its advantages, though. You can carry way less equipment. No need for a sleeping bag. The only rain gear needed is a lightweight poncho. You can wear shorts everyday, and a single layer shirt/top. All in all you can easily walk with a pack that weighs 5-6 kilos.
Just make sure you wear a hat, sunscreen and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.
I would not say it is a harder time to walk the Frances.
