This is my big dilemma of the day, how much weight do I want to carry in my rucksack. I am working on the 'less is more' principle. So far my rucksack contains;
Bivi bag
Sleeping bag
Silk sleeping bag liner
Waterproof trousers
Head torch
Mobile phone & Chargers x2 (wind up and electric)
Bank cards/money/Tesco deal tokens
Maps
Water bottles x2
Wash stuff (toothpaste & brush, mini hairbrush, gel, laundry soap, dry wash, wet wipes, tampons, plasters, nail clippers, Ibuprofen, canestan,sun cream)
Trek towel
Spare socks
Spare tankini
Spare tracksters
Guide book???? (it does have lots of useful numbers)
Book
I will be wearing….
Sunglasses
Trackster
Socks
Tankini
Coolmax Top
Jacket
Walking boots
I have been looking at what other people have taken on trips and tried to follow their guide. I know that I hate carrying excess weight. When I was walking with a full pack (20+kg) in Australia it was hard work especially in 40C heat. One time I fell over on my back and was like a ladybird stranded with my arms and legs waving in the air, unable to right myself. I did have a moment of "what am I doing here" !
