I am starting my first Camino in early September & can't decide on weather to take a sleeping bag, a liner, or both.

Hi Brian.....my friend and I have just walked stage 3 of the Camino (Leon to Santiago) we're in our 60's, had limited knowledge of the Camino. We ensured our backpacks were not overr 6.5kg so left sleeping bags behind and only took our silk liners. Soooo pleased we didnt take sleeping bag, because all we needed was the liner - the dorms are warm enough and even on the odd occasion when there were no blankets provided (as we arrived at the Alburgues late) we only needed liner and a couple of times just covered ourselves with our poncho, we certainly were not cold (and I always feel the cold). Dont overthink the Camino and if you havent taken enough clothing or sleeping bag and need to buy, there are plenty of shops and supermarkets selling just what you need and at very reasonable prices.I am starting my first Camino in early September & can't decide on weather to take a sleeping bag, a liner, or both.
I have done several walks in September with just a nylon liner. I like to be a bit cool when I sleep. There were blankets whenever I needed them.I am starting my first Camino in early September & can't decide on weather to take a sleeping bag, a liner, or both.
