Ok you need some light kit, and a good
sleeping bag. Both our rucksack weighed in about 14Ibs which
is not bad. Do not duplicate up on tools or other camping equipment
like stoves etc. Pack all of you stuff into a plastic bag in
your rucksack, so it doesn't get wet if it rains.Take Spare Clothes
and dont skimp on food or drink to make space for equipment.
Take a thermarest 3/4 length mattress , really comfortable small
and light. A good sleeping bag is also esstential for the sprint
and autumn events as the evenings can get very cold, for example
the overnight temp at our camp site dropped to -2deg. most good
2 season bags are rated down to -5deg. To increase the rating
of your sleeping bag your could use a silk liner, these are available
from most good outdoor shops.
See our checklist for the event.
