Horsham Wednesday 17th June 2015

I was asked yesterday what do I take to go away for a long trip. I am not going to provide a list but I did take a photo of everything (except for the laptop and the camera). I have to lug this lot around plus a tent, camping equipment and food for the trek over the mountains which I will pick up when I get to the start. Therefore I have purposefully kept it to a minimum. It is a bit bulky but weighs just 13kg.

Anything else that I might have forgotten I will have to buy en route. I am now packed, I have the currency, had my jabs, travel documents and yellow fever certificate. I am now ready to go and just have to wait a couple of days when I leave the UK..
