Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
You could buy a second bag and ship two bags that would meet the weight limit each day.
Ryanair charge was 30 euros each way for a 10kgs bag and 31 euros for a 20 kgs bag... my wife and I sharing a 20kgs bag!!
If I buy a new bag my saving gone but not the end of the world...a first world problem!

What in the world could you possibly need on a daily basis that weighs 20kgs!?!? Even for two people, that’s a massive amount of “stuff” you’re hauling with you!
A number of things spring to mind, medications, CPAC or other medical equipment, for example.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Or Camino walking for 5 days from SJPP to Estella, as described, and then going elsewhere. 10 kg per person isn’t much.

I’m on a 5 day trip and my suitcase for myself alone weighs more than 10 kg. Hundreds of days of backpack carrying and weight minimising and double use of items … and I learnt nothing for my daily life. Because: “I might use it” and “It might be good to have” continue to be my mottos.

@padmarbuc, did you study the posts on weight reduction in the backpack threads? The Camino teaches you how to live with less, it is said. Thanks to this forum, you can take a few lessons already before you leave for SJPP :).

Buen Camino!

I typically take more than that for a weekend in London ..... but joyfully manage with 6 or 7kg on a Camino ☺️
