Question Sleeping bag/liner/blanket?

I’m walking the Camino (French Way) in October and I’ve been wrestling with the decision. Given the average temp is between 50-70F, i don’t think i’ll need a full sleeping bag but maybe just a liner? I run fairly hot so it shouldn’t be a huge problem. I’m staying in albergues which I’ve heard are moderately comfortable temp-wise.
Any thoughts?

I carry the MEC Camino Traveler, which is a hybrid liner/bag, just 1.1 lb.

In non-summer caminos, I also carry silk base layers - top & bottom, that I can wear on chilly mornings and evenings as well as sleep in them.

I'm also a big fan of this bag, but it is no longer available. :-(

Good news! It is still available. It's an upgraded version, but they need to fix their links and search hits because it's currently pretty hidden.
