Sleeping bag March / April ? (Frances)

[scubajunky]

HI all,
I'm not sure as to whether I should take a sleeping bag for the walk ? do the alburgines and dorms provide blankets etc ? my sleeping bag is quite bulky and I cant imagine fitting it into my backpack.
Thanks in advance

A few municipal albergues do not have blankets including Roncesvalles at last report. The vast majority have blankets, though you may have to ask. Avoid the bulky sleeping bag if possible.

So the vast majority having blankets would mean It's not neccassary for me to carry one then in March / April ?

I carried a -10C bag in November. It was overkill. Many of the albergues are heated to the point that you need only a sheet liner. The albergues do provide blankets.

I'd suggest a down comforter and a sheet liner meant for a sleeping bag would be enough.
