Hi Everyone,
This is kind of embarassing! I am leaving in 2 days, for my 3rd Camino and will primarily be walking the Camino Frances in April. My previous Caminos have been in June and June/July, where I actually left my sleeping bag behind at SJPDP before heading out This worked out very well for me. I am really trying to keep my pack very light, and have packed and repacked quite a few times.
I know that one can never know what the weather will be, I am expecting plenty of rain in April and it looks like it might be chilly in the mornings, I get cold easily. Because I am carrying a sleeping bag this time, it definitely seems to take up my down jacket space, eventhough it is light. I have a rain coat, a down vest, a merino wool shirt and a fleece, which I am assuming would be just fine, but I thought I would get some advice from someone who has been there in April. I was just planning on bringing it, but the sleeping bag, which I feel is necessary this time of year has really consumed my space.
I am so excited to start my Camino, I just need to sort this last piece out. What do you think?
Thanks so much,
Barb
