45/55 Plan
To do a day hike on saturday (30km), camp over night followed by a smaller walk on sunday. Meeting 7.30 at the 169th. (Apparently the Sunday is optional for 55 walkers, no idea how you get home from wherever it is you're camping though).
Notes
Full kit (day hike specification*). Don't forget:
- any suitable cooking & eating equipment, including 2x packed lunches, 1x evening meal, 1x breakfast, snacks
- sleeping bag (as you will need it!)
Routes will not be posted for this hike as this is part of the training and development.
* Although you require everything on the full kit list it only needs to meet the day hike standards of kit. In addition, sleeping bags do not need to meet the minimum standard on this hike.
Don't forget to register by Sunday if you haven't already!
