I leave tomorrow, walking from SJPdP
Plan A was that I was taking two pairs of walking trousers, one of which were double zip-offs allowing conversion into either shorts or capris, and a fairly long rain jacket which comes to mid- thigh, so I wasn’t going to bother with overtrousers.
Then I read how cold it was likely to be in the mountains, and added a pair of running tights which I reckon I could put under my walking trousers if necessary.
Then I read how wet it was going to be, and bought a pair of overtrousers which are mesh-lined, breathable and quite light.
But I have failed miserably in my efforts to lose any weight, with the result that the zip-off trousers are frankly too tight - especially the above-knee zips, which means walking in them will be uncomfortable. I’m thinking I will only take:
- The walking trousers which are comfortable, lightweight and quick drying
- the running tights, to be worn in evenings when trousers are washed (not every day) and possibly under walking trousers if very cold
- The overtrousers, which can be worn over either or both of the above and will provide both wind and rain protection.
Do you think this will be adequate? I aim to reach SdC in late April, by which it presumably could be very warm - but my walking trousers are quite thin.
