Hola, Nanc,it sounds like the Camino is changing a bit
many of you have reassured us newbies that warmth can be moderated on cold nights by use of a bag and /or liner with sleeping in clothing and access to Aubergues' blankets
I was only taking a 1 lb ultralight bag
if Aubergues are not supplying blankets any more, I get the feeling my September /October Camino may be better with at least a liner as well?
temps in October look like they're in the 40's at night by the end

I'm pretty sure that the changes in albergues are leading toward providing more comfort to pilgrims rather than less. The decision regarding what warmth and rain protection you take has always been a calculated risk.if Aubergues are not supplying blankets any more,
The Altus poncho makes a great blanket at night. If you are freezing, layer up. No tight layers--the air between layers must get warm. Then, spread that big, sweaty tent over your body. That was how I got through the night. Did I mention that I was on a top bunk?
True, but a whole tobble of red wine might make you tipple off the topple of hte bunko.I agree with @CaminoDebrita that a little tipple of red wine and a top bunk also helps, as does a quick jog on the spot before you climb into the bag to warm it up!
Most still supply them. You may have to ask in the spring and summer. A thread last year on albergues without blankets only had Roncesvalles and Leon on it, plus some xunta albergues in Galicia (most pilgrims don't stay there, choosing from the numerous private albergues instead).if Aubergues are not supplying blankets any more
No truer words were ever spoken about these forums!It seems like for every possible answer on all topics , there is an equally compelling opposite answer
What quilt did you bring?I took a silk liner and a lightweight down quilt. That was plenty and didn't take up much space in my backpack. I'll do that again. Most nights I didn't need the quilt - actually I don't think I ever needed it, but some nights I used it just because I had it. I walked in late Spring, so different time of year, but you are sleeping indoors - it won't be that cold.

Most albergues supply blankets. Your ultralight bag will work.it sounds like the Camino is changing a bit
