Excellent Gordon. I love a good gear list I do. Mine, by the way, has changed substantially since I posted it on my blog a few weeks back. It's now far slimmer. I'm an ultralight god now, me. 😂
ReplyDeleteHope to see you somewhere on the way across.
Post script
ReplyDeleteAre you carrying enough food? I reckon on nearer a kg per day.
Great to hear that you are an ultralight god.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it's to cover 4 days, day 3 is in a B & B.
I make up my calories in pubs and other eateries, eg Corrour Station (excellent food and beer)
PS Hope to see you too - somewhere on the way across
DeleteClass kit Gordon and see you on the Challenge pal.
ReplyDeleteIt will be great to meet you again Martin.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gordon. A good list. I count for 600 gms of food per day but TGo has pub stop each thrid day approx (Ft.A, Aviemore, Braemar) so there is easy restocking. Typical for us on food is porridge, one energy bar, nuts and raisins for snacks, cheese/salami/pita, more nuts and dried fruit, a vacuum meal (or home equiv), chocolate. Tea always and hot chocolate for pleasure plus a dram of scotch. Windburner stove. Dyneema packs and tent (HMG, Zpacks), NeoAirXlite. Altra Lone Peak 4.0, NEW Rab pants etc.
ReplyDeleteLooks good; lot of familiar stuff there.
ReplyDeleteWhat pray, are 'Zuecks'?
...and should I get some :-)
ReplyDeletePossibly Zuuks. Lightweight shoes made by HiTec.
ReplyDeleteAha; the light dawneth...thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Dara, great fun with lists :-) I never carry enough food, but can supplement it with pubs and eateries. Hope to meet you again at some point.
ReplyDeleteHi ed, Vanessa is right :-) last year I wore a pair of "Chinese " shoes which are very light - cost around £9 including shipping from China :-)
