However, I'm probably going to do a bit of the South Downs Way where exposure etc seems unlikley so I'll cut the spare stuff right down!

Actually I do in some cases, it's so that on a long backpack they can appear halfway respectable in pubs. Mike, Hello there, I'm about to add your blog to my Blogroll. I look forward to seeing your list. I hope I haven't opened the door to the - ahem -lunatic fringe here, present company excepted of course. If certain USA trends are followed here, we'll have people crowing about how they backpack for a few days with a 25l pack and other insanities. Robin,

Next trip I'm looking to go much lighter 6-7kg base weight. I can't see myself going much below that. Always interesting to see what others carry. I obviously carry too many clothes!
