is there a recommended clothing list based on time of year somewhere on this forum?
i see lots of "what i brought" lists but everyone goes at different times of year and does different distances and different starting points.
am looking for clothing recommendations for leaving sjpdp aug 22 and ending in muxia in early october.
am still not sure if i will stay in alberques all the time, some of the time or none of the time but am at least leaning towards staying in hotel once a week for a complete rest day, to do laundry etc.
hard to know what to pack when i am not sure where i will sleep. HELP :?
