If one of your socks get lost in the process of washing together with other pilgrims you've got some kind of problem. (This almost happend to a collegue-pilgrim in Boadilla del Camino).
And also: if you won't get them dried overnight you're left with moist socks.

You mean take three pairs of socks? I am wearing one pair, remember.

I forgot to ask you -- What brand Thermal pants and Quick-drying pants are you bringing? I've been asking around for lightweight/quick-drying pants and everyone sends me to the summer clothing section (think nylon). Any good thoughts?
Toiletries-this is where weight creeps up on you. Mine consistede of a bar of soap,razor,toothpaste+brush. So many people I saw,especially women,carried a mini chemist with them-shampoo,conditioner,cleanser,moisturiser etc-not necessary.Take the minimum and restock in france/spain.

Think 'quick drying' rather than thick and warm. I have Rohan wicking undies (3prs) and Trekmate wicking longjohns (1pr) for if it is really cold, and they will double as pyjama bottoms. Also Rohan wicking T-shirt/vest and Trekemate longsleeve T-shirt (pyjama top) for cold days. All lightweight,quick drying etc and so far in practise walks they have kept me warm. Sold here in winter or summer for layering. They are technical, poyester. I bought larger sizes than normal, for the longjohns and long sleeved T, so that I can wear them over my undies/short sleeve T and still have real ease of movementhewink said:----- What brand Thermal pants and Quick-drying pants are you bringing?

Cotton clothes of any type are to be avoided I think. They don't insulate when wet and take a long time to dry out.
