I'm with YOU, Omar!
I'm just curious. WHY do you need a headlamp? What exactly do you plan to do with it? Are you going to walk in the dark? Just curious, not trying to be mean... really... :roll: no, REALLY!
It's a bit shocking to find yourself awakened by bright lights and rustling plastic bags in the dead of the night. :shock:
And the thing is... I pass most of those earlybirds along the Camino, which makes me wonder, "Why do they have to get started so early? What's the rush?" :?:
I like those refugios where there is a "No leaving before 7 am" rule... that way we all can get our sleep.
If people REALLY must leave in the dark, and they plan well the night before, all they have to do is dress quietly and leave, getting blessings instead of curses from fellow perigrinos.
I didn't carry a torch/flashlight and got along fine.
The one morning we TRIED leaving before dawn, we (and the group we followed) got lost in the dark. That was a good lesson. There's simply no reason to leave before dawn, at least in the cooler autumn month of September.
