So back in the UK now at my parents and manically getting the last bits and pieces sorted. God it takes ages to do the kit and bag. Basically spent 8 hours today packing up and weighing everything. Then I just tried to get it all in the bag and I have too much! The food is the bulky thing, and I either need to re-pack it, or start culling some of it. I probably have too much, but thought it better to be safe rather than sorry. Plus the little things keep adding up and the bag is currently around 9.5kgs... too much. I wanted it at nothing more than 9kgs, including the 1.5 litres of water.
The issue at the moment is getting everything in though, so need to re-look at that. I've also managed to do my own gaitors as well. No-one here in the UK would touch them either, lazy sods. So I've glued and stitched them myself. Not too hard actually, plus I'll put a line of duck tape around, so I'm pretty confident they'll stick.
More stuff to do tomorrow, plus I want to do a couple of hours of stretching as well, and hopefully a little run with all my gear too.
