:shock:
or the lime-green chiffon cocktail dress that haunted Los Arcos for a couple of years.
There were also those towards the end who would send their bag by taxi, and just walk with a day pack.
Met a few last year, but thought only one was genuine. There was a couple who appeared to be little more than ponces - although I did not personally experience the worst of their reported behaviour, and so must admit I might be basing this assessment on little more than rumour.

What is a ponce?
There are some delightful definitions at Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ponce. I was using it in the sense of someone who might borrow money without repaying it, or in the sense of the Camino, pretend to be a mendicant pilgrim and beg at various albergues, but never be seen walking between towns, just as an example.

.
on day one of your camino
you go straight to the first bar and watch the 3 day weather forecast
it says - sunny, sunny, cold /wet
you go to the post office
you mail 3 boxes of clothing as follows
town 2 - "To The Hospitalero, El Next Municipal Albergue", one shirt shorts sox + plus one sarong
town 3 - "To The Hospitalero, El Following Municipal Albergue", one shirt shorts sox
town 4 - "To The Hospitalero, El One After Next Municipal Albergue", one Altus poncho fleecy shirt shorts sox
.
on arrival at the first town, proceed directly to the post office
collect your box containing change of clothing and the sarong
using your sarong to cover your modesty in the crouded post office, strip out of your smelly clothing, place them back into the box
and mail them to
"Town 5 - El Laundromat proprietor" enclosing 5Euro with instructions to wash and deliver to the Hospitalero at El Municipal Albergue
.
this way, you can then follow DougFitz' borrow toothpaste and blanket sequence
i think this can work
Or a charity shop, and that would be disastrous.
