[Gocamino] sleeping bag?

[Pat Rush]

Bridget:  A silk liner is OK for summer, although in the high mountains in
early June it might be cold.  However, most refugios have blankets, although
sometimes you have to ask for them. Manta is an important word to know in
Spanish.   I have walked with a silk liner, and also a very lightweight
sleeping bag, and was glad I had the latter on the VdlP in early spring.  I
also found that I felt more protected against the dreaded chinches if I was
cocooned inside my sleeping bag.

Buen camino, from Patricia, who lives in increasingly snowy and cold upper
New York state

I am hiking the Camino Frances this summer from early June to early August.
Will a silk liner do for sleep wear? It will add 10 degrees F. of insulation
between me and the air. Or do I need a 40 degree weight sleeping bag? It
seems a lot to carry with me when a silk sheet is so small.
Thanks for the advice,
Bridget
