(at least it feels like it) ... and repacking, making packing lists and then making lists of what to strike from the packing lists, I have packed half the stuff on my packing list into the other backpack. In the end I have decided to go back to good, ol' Susann Himmelblå. She has been out walkies before and I had no problems then - apart from the squeaking of the back system, but that has been fixed by Osprey. Whatever I do or which pack I try on, I just end up with a sore lower back or pains in the shoulders or wings (you know what I mean). This back would get a kicking if it wasn't about to get a beating!
Never mind, I'm sure Sil will be proud of me, for one. Susann is an Osprey Talon 44 and only weighs about a kilo. Holds all the stuff I need as well, and this time I am taking a few things for my friend, leaving room later for food and stuff on the Camino. At the moment I have got about 7 kilos in total, but 650 g of that is going. Pretty good, I think! My Merrells have been good so far, and I am still dithering about Crocs or Tevas for sandals. Crocs are lighter, but Teva Dozers are much more cushioned and just as airy, so could come in handy for tarmac/road walking.
Oh! And I have managed to raise no less than £211 for Comic Relief already! I am taking the Red Nose Day Beatles T-shirt and all three noses and will be taking pics along the way, posting them on my blogs and on my Red Nose fundraising page http://www.myrednoseday.com/caracolinda
Please help me reach my goal of £500 for doing something funny (and challenging) for money this year! I am paying all my own expenses; all donations go to Comic Relief.
