thanks for posts - for me it's about the half way house - taking 3+ days to ramble around, spend half a day at some random isolated beach if I want, but then be able to crank 30km in a day to a hut or whatever without breaking my back if I need to get out. If it's all busting arse, it's no fun.
ok - a specific question - would you prefer a big arse orange plastic bivy bag, or a foil sleeping bag in case things get nasty? I think the plastic bag, keeps water out better. |
