    Socks

    I've brought hiking socks from Decathalon (Melb) and found them absolutely brilliant. I now own 10 pairs and use them daily. Highly recommend you give them a go. Not blisters, no hot spots, and a great price too.

    I'm Ready and waiting- 4 weeks to go!

    Thanks everyone for your input. i've just spent the last two hours packing and unpacking, repacking and removing excess items. I'm now down to around 6kg. Planning to buy a smaller pack as the current one is a 60L. Far too big. Was looking at the same one as TeeJ41 on line earlier today. Is it a...
