Thank you once again Viajero (and sorry for the long delay in saying so – I’ve not been back to the forum for some time)…
I’ve sought out as much info as seems available re silk sleeper Vs. bag (130g Vs. 660g), and am still none the wiser. Yesterday, I emailed Lifeventure to enquire as to the suggested comfort range for my sleeper but, whatever the response, I do seem to recall a couple of slightly chilly nights with this on the northern stages of the Via de la Plata and, this being the case, perhaps it may be wise to play it safe and go with the bag… I just have a natural aversion to carrying the extra weight.
I’ve now downloaded, minimised, combined and printed maps from Gronze, Mundicamino and Eroski (should tide me over
). Regarding accommodation though, I found a link on these forums to a scanned (PDF) copy of “Norte_Accomodation_distance”, but (without offence to the uploader – sincere thanks) this was of poor quality. Does anybody know of another link to this (or a similar) document?
On a totally unrelated matter, the top that I’ve worn for many Caminos has gone well beyond its ‘sell-by date’, and I’m researching a replacement. Any advice regarding fabric / manufacturer / model of suitable warm weather, long-sleeved hiking tops would be much appreciated. I have located a silk top, which I believe might be a good choice, but this is available in black only, and I am concerned regarding the light / heat absorption implications of this colour choice. As stated, any advice welcomed.
Cheers… BD
