I’ve started packing and I’ve already had to change to a larger bag. This really is a step into the unknown and I can only make a guess on what I’ll need. I know I can wash en-route (well not literally while I’m walking, but you know what I mean!) but I don’t want to be spending my time washing stuff. Is 6 pairs of walking socks a reasonable amount to take??? I’m going to lay the contents out and take a photo – I’ll probably then have to have a cull and ditch the ‘nice to haves’.
We’re taking 2 first aid kits. 1 for on the move and 1 for patching us up when we’ve finished for the day. The larger of the 2 kits weighs in at a massive 2 kilos and I’m sure the contents would be good enough for a tour of duty in Afghanistan!
All exciting stuff but I’m beginning to have some thoughts about what it will be like being away from Sarah and the boys. I’ve not been away from them for more than a couple of days before, so there may be a few tears before bedtime (mine!!)

Ross, what a great adventure. I will be following your journey avidly. The best of luck to you both.
ReplyDeleteSimon, the southern softie.
Simon - thanks for the post. We are both really looking forward to it. It's quite a challenge to walk across the UK - I'm glad I don't live in the US as walking across America could be a step too far!! ;-)
ReplyDeleteKeep the posts coming fella!!
Welcome Simon - You will have noticed that Ross said that crossing the US 'could' be a step too far!!
ReplyDeleteAnyway from what I can see you live in Bermuda and I'd enjoy the challenge of walking across the island you live on.
Up the Addicks.
Well Graham, even my fitness levels could take me across Bermuda.... it's only a mile and a half wide :-)
ReplyDeleteLooking at the original packing list it seems the only item missing is the Kitchen sink :). Great idea to use Packhorse.
