I fly out to Madrid next Wednesday (Sept 20th) and will start in Pamplona. I go back and forth on sleeping bag (3.6 pounds) ans sleeping bag liner (1.5 pounds) * note I am a large guy and a regular size sleeping bag does not work for me so the bag I have is a Big Agnes and 3.6 pounds is about as lightweight as you can get for my size. Anyway, I plan to just take the liner to save on weight. I hope I do not regret it. Hope you are having fun.

I started from Pamplona 2 years ago on September 17th. I questioned why I packed my sleeping bag for the first 2 - 3 weeks - very warm weather. By the middle of October I was glad I had it. Many are happy with the blankets that are available - I find them heavy (weight wise). My sleeping bag is an extra/tall Big Agnes that weighs 1.5 pounds.
A beautiful time of the year. Enjoy and Buen Camino
We are also walking September 2018!As my husband and I will be walking in September in 2018 (still some time away unfortunately) I'm keen to see accommodation and weather conditions so many thanks for your posts. Buen Camino Nomad.
I have the
Big Agnes - Buffalo Park 40 Sleeping Bag and love it. I have been going back and forth between taking this or a liner. I think you may have tilted the decision toward taking the Big Agnes. Thanks for the insight. I leave in four days and it is great to hear from you guys that are on the Camino now. Thanks.
I have a question....many of the Camino markers between SJPP to Navarrete have a hand written "Wild Sheep". Does anyone know who/what this means?????
Just another plea to make reservations! We were in Hornillos del Camino last night - totally booked. Almost everyone we chat with has at least one horror story of not finding a place to sleep - taxis back several town or ahead, expensive hotel accommodations. There is a serious lack of lodging. Please be prepared!!!
I am in Pamplona tonight and I am glad I did bring my Big Agnes bag. Again thanks for those on the trail posting to aid those about to leave.I am in Ventosa tonight. Was just thinking today while walking how glad I was I brought my sleeping bag. (Marmot 40degrees down). I also am glad I brought a silk sheet saturated in Permethin. It goes down on whatever my bag is going on.
I am in Pamplona and am shocked at how many people are here. I thought this would be getting to the slow season. I am also seeing "the race for beds"Just another plea to make reservations!

I wonder if this is the same idiot who removed distance plaques from those beautiful Camino signs in La Rioja.It's a band. I'd like to feed the disrespectful idiot who plastered this crap along the Camino to wild sheep.
