Yes, that is what I meant Mark. Thank you for your advice.If what you mean by "sleeping sheet" is a sleeping bag liner, I recommend that as opposed to a sleeping bag for a CF that runs from Late May to June.
Almost all the albergues I stayed in had blankets, so you can use that to supplement the liner.
That's just me, though. We all are different in our sleep comfort necessities.

Thank you for your adviseSome places will be almost unbearably hot at night. The places that are cool/cold will have blankets (you may have to ask; they may go into storage after about April). I always save the weight...
Thank you very much for your adviceI bring a silk liner - 5 ounces, and a 7 ounce down blanket. It's not big, but keeps me warm when tucked into the silk liner. I wouldn't want to touch some of the blankets that I saw in albergues, though some of them looked just fine.

That's true. The albergue sleeping quarters are all different (no two are alike and too many variables with all of them to put a standard experience in one), and some are more confined and less ventilated than others and that combined with several pilgrims in there at night, can get pretty stuffy, humid and warm. I've actually woken up in the middle of the night in an albergue and found the quarters so stuffy and warm I grabbed my bag liner and went out to a common area and slept there the rest of the night.Some places will be almost unbearably hot at night.

Do you mean early October to November? If so, I'd certainly take a sleeping bag.can i ask i'm going in october through to beginning of october. a liner or a bag?

Sorry it should of said September to beginning of October sorryDo you mean early October to November? If so, I'd certainly take a sleeping bag.
In that case there is no clear answer. It will depend on the weather you get, and your preferences. You should be able to layer up in your clothes adequately, anyway, if you bring the right things and remember to wear them to bed or have them handy. Having said that, I would probably still take a summer-weight sleeping bag.Sorry it should of said September to beginning of October sorry

That's funny. I'm thinking of getting a cheap down blanket and making a sleeping bag by adding a zipper!I never walk the Camino without my down blanket (which I made from a down sleeping bag by removing the heavy zipper and hood)

I agree with Mark - just a sleeping sheet.If what you mean by "sleeping sheet" is a sleeping bag liner, I recommend that as opposed to a sleeping bag for a CF that runs from Late May to June.
