I am currently in northeast France backpacking with a solo tent & camping mat. Afterwards, my plan is to head to the LePuy route for several days of hiking prior to embarking on the CF route from SJPP to SDC.
My intention was to jettison the tent and sleeping mat for the CF portion, but I was wondering whether to keep the tent or mail it ahead for the LePuy section as well?
The plus side of keeping the tent is the flexibility of using a campground or gite lawn if all the gite beds are full in any particular town.
The disadvantage is that the tent and sleeping mat add about 2.7 kg to my pack weight, and I would REALLY like to bring my pack weight down.
I have a French SIM card and phone number, so calling ahead to gites for reservations is feasible.
Thanks for any advice or direction.
