- Time of past OR future Camino
- Feb-Mar 2016, SJPdP to SDC, Finisterre and Muxia
I am planning to walk from SJPdP to Santiago, then on to Fisterra and Muxia, in February and March 2016. Of course I will have a down bag and silk liner but, given winter conditions and unheated albergues, and sometimes the absence of blankets, the question is ... what weight bag?
I don't want to overdo it - one can always add thermals, a beanie and socks - but sleeping cold is not a recipe for a good day's walk the next day. Also, I appreciate that the answer will vary given that some people sleep "hot", some sleep "cold".
So, would a good rule of thumb be a 10 degree bag? Or a zero degree bag? Grateful any advice.
Cheers from a 35 degree Melbourne. Peter
