T minus 4 days to camino.
Camino Catwalk
I have 2 changes and 1 hiking dress that I want to use mainly / only for sleeping. I’ve brought enough layers to keep me warm when it’s cool, and cool when it’s warm. And a change of dry clothes if I am caught in a sudden downpour. And non-hiking looking clothes on rest days when I’m washing everything else.

This is the gear I’ve been training in. I’ve got a Merino Icebreaker T shirt, base layer, fleece layer, Buff, Arc’teryx hiking trousers, socks plus liner.

These are my Arc’teryx 3/4 Capri tights, tank top and shirt. They are meant for slightly warmer days so I can keep a bit cooler. Tights can go as second layer to hiking pants if it is super cold. I’m disappointed with that the shirt is so easily crushed and can’t be shaken out. It needs ironing. I’ve decided to leave it behind. No time for ironing. There’s 120g gone.

I like the skort. It reminds me of my old netball days when I was truly fit. Useful on really warm days.

It’s a hiking dress turned nightdress. If I’m honest, I’d like to keep that its sole purpose . I don’t want to sleep in hiking clothes and trousers. I will feel uncomfortable. But I know it’s there for day use if I need it.
What do you think? Keep it all or lose a set and if so, which one?
Tomorrow’s post: the contents of my toiletry bag. I’m sure you can’t wait.

Great pics! I would encourage you to take out one of those outfits. Depending on the average temps for this time of year, I would take away either the skort outfit or the capri pants one. Everyone around you will be living on 2 sets of clothes so you just need something to cover for hot days, cold days, and sleep. And it’s much easier to buy something along the way if you really need it, rather than carrying it all the way and *not* needing it. I say that with the hindsight of making that very mistake! (poor shoulders!)

Thank you. I had been looking at the skort and thinking that that might be the one to go. And you have just confirmed it. I’ve been thinking the weather might be too cool for it. Besides, hubs is back and he’s snapped my toothbrush in half to remove 10g.
