Your Story or Advice for Others

Your Best Equipment
Zip loc bags- a hiker's best friend!

Your Worst Equipment
Nothing- despite thinking very hard about what could be sent back to reduce my pack weight, I really felt everything I had was essential!

Advice for Others
Be kind to yourself when planning distances. Better to start slowly as you build trail fitness! Everything will get more efficient as you go- the walking, as well as camp set up & pack down.
