I know, I know, I know. Weighing your gear and posting a list of what you are taking is so 2015. But I've gone and done it. I've put this on my blog. The post should not be read by the easily offended, by people who think that all Challengers are 'grown ups', or those who might have nightmares if they see photographs of my walking companions, the three naughty boys.:scream:

Whilst this may possibly make interesting reading, and comments or suggestions are very welcome about my choices, I am very much of the view that we should all carry what works for us as individuals, and nobody has a monopoly of wisdom - especially in the case of discussions about the balance between comfort and weight carried.

Despite making entries on the Challenge message board since 2013 I still can not do the click on the linky thing so I am afraid you'll have to cut and paste the link below into your web browser if you want to read this, that is until Andy Walker or Louise Evans provide for me their idiot's guide to the linky thing as they do every year.

Click on the link that says Enter Message (bb code and html allowed) when posting, it gives you instructions.

Type the address of the website you want to link to and insert url enclosed in square brackets in front of it and /url enclosed in square brackets after it.

Wot’s a Threadtorch? :upside_down_face:

It's a specialist torch used when sewing in your tent.
