This is a good idea but I took just a small section of a mat for sitting on in 2013 as I had sat on lots of wet areas in 2012, just enough to keep the bum dry.Never took one or needed one for six week CF, but will take very thin and light one this September in Galicia - to sit or lie on for picnic lunches or just take a breather without needing to find a bench or worry about the ground being wet. Need it? No. But this time around I have got the weight of the pack down so far I can take it anyway.
The section of sleeping mat gives a little padding to a bony bum.I haven't been on a camino yet, but why not just take a sheet of plastic? Light and easily folded. A trick learned in girl guides

Also saw several near the washing machine in Arre.Wait till you get to Pamplona and check out Casa Paderborn, lots of items get donated there, there several sleep mats on the shelf as well as other odds and ends people dump off to lighten their load.
Don't even bother taking a mat. My husband and I took a tent, mats, sleeping bags, only used the sleeping bags once, ended sending all that stuff to Madrid so as not to carry extra stuff.I´m having doubts whether to take a sleep mat or not.. doing the Camino Frances in Sept.. Taking a sleeping bag, not sure about the mat... has anyone any advice/found a sleep mat useful??
