Fascinating , Gordon.
As a matter of interest, how would you price that lot at present day replacement values ?

I, too, have a voyeuristic fascination with the contents of other people's packs. With some trepidation, as my pack always appears heavier than everyone else's, I attach a link to my kit list. Does the use of a string of mules to share the burden contravene the Challenge rules?

No problem using asses to carry your pack. Actually I think there will be three stabled in Oban, you could load your gear up on Friday morning! No names, no pack drill!
