Hello everyone.
After walking the Francés last summer (May-June) and having the time of my life, I've come to terms with my incipient Camino addiction and will be walking the Primitivo beginning in the middle of June. I've also learned from my mistakes on the Francés, but this is one I need some help with…
On the Francés, I'd taken a (rather voluminous) sleeping bag that made me uncomfortably hot. Because I also had a liner, I sent the bag ahead… and not two days later found myself in a situation where I was shivering all night. I then bought a compact sleeping bag that did me well for the rest of the walk, but which was far from adequate on a September camping trip in Ireland -- a bit of info I'm putting in to put things into perspective
I remember meeting some pilgrims who had walked the Primitivo on the way to Finisterra, and being shocked by how large and heavy their packs seemed. One of them explained that it was rather cold in the mountains in Asturias, and it was necessary to come prepared for cold/rainy weather. This is making me wonder if my compact but not-quite-warm sleeping bag will be sufficient on a June Primitivo.
Anyone have any experience?
Thanks!
