Hi Guys,
To those crazy souls lining up for this "day walk", please think about your preparations now. This and Cloudmaker are deliberate shakedown walks to trial ideas and equipment
In particular your footwear, food and pack weight. They should be what you intend to wear, eat and carry respectively on the 3 Peaks itself.
It goes without saying the pack should be as light as possible. The target for 3 Peaks has to be 6-7kg, and therefore is the target for the 'grinder'. Ultralight sleeping bags, close cell mats, shared tarps and emer. blankets for groundsheets. High energy food in small sizes. Variety of tastes and textures so eating is a treat, not a chore.
Footwear - I'm getting hot spots, so I'll be looking for a new pair. Vaseline is used by long distance runners on their feet and 'bodyglide' for chaffing.
Cheers Karl
