These are my goto socks. Without them, I get a blister where 2 toes rub together. I have had no blister problems at all since switching solely to these.

Behold the very pinnacle of bi-pedal locomotive technology. 😉
I was walking thru an antique store, and noticed a sign that immediately reminded me of the camino. Unfortunately I did not have my phone with me to take a pic. But none the less it says volumes about what you "need". It said;
"Tell me what you need, and I will tell you how to do without it."
I used the fleece liner as you described. It was more than adequate for me, and very light. As far as I am concerned, when the sleeping bag exceeds 2.5 lbs, it is a burden.
I found the best way to train for the camino, was to start with only one glass of wine per day, and the slowly increase until you reach the required 2 bottles per day.
