My first Camino is fast approaching. I'm reading a book written by someone who walked the Camino that's raised a couple of more questions. First, the author suggests that you've got to stay with your phone in an albergue while it's charging or it may be stolen. (I'm aware there are pros and cons of taking a phone; I don't intend to use mine much, but do plan to take it.) Do others agree?
Second, the author apparently often started walking in the mornings before dark, and relied on a headlamp to find his way. I've seen a couple of posts from people who said they took a headlamp and never used it. My current plan is not to start walking before daylight, but I've never done the walk before and wonder if I might change my mind and wish I had a headlamp. (My dates are May 10 - June 27 (SJPP - Muxia), so I don't think it'll be super hot so much that I'll want to start before the sun rises to avoid afternoon heat.)
And a final question not raised by the book. I've tentatively decided to take only a sleeping bag liner, not a sleeping bag. Is it likely that with my dates, I'll be okay, or more likely I'll need a sleeping bag?
Thanks all. Buen Camino.
