Now I just need to pack all this kit into the rucksack! (first I need to buy a couple of final items like a mat to sleep on - but deliberating over whether to get a hammock instead - waiting to see what the final weight of my rucksack might be). I am also waiting for my mess tin to arrive from Trangia in Sweden, and a lightweight Haglöf fleece to arrive from Cotswold Outdoors. I got a couple of head-torches in the week, which I am really pleased with, and am looking forwards to putting to the test. Then I need to sort out the heavier items like cameras, a pair of binoculars (which I am borrowing from my mother), loads of batteries, a journal and a book to read on the journey. What have I forgotten?
I have my final vaccinations tomorrow, and also want to get the anti-malarials sorted.
30 days to go.... so reasonably under control.
