All set. I spent hours on packing. On preparing food. On dehydrating food articles. And on getting some more gear: trekking poles, a cooking system. I decided I cannot go camping, because the weather forecasts are saying it will be rainy and around freezing at night. The camping gear I would need for these conditions are way too heavy (and I don't fancy sleeping in a tiny, insufficiently breathable tent through nights of rain). So I won't bring a tent. But I will bring my cooking system, and a sleeping bag, to be as flexible as possible (also, I can make tea wherever!). Backpack will weigh around 13 kgs. That includes water for one day, breakfast and snacks for the whole week, lunch for three days, and no dinner (yet).

I'm leaving today and will be spending the night at a friend's, who will join me for part of tomorrow. As I have no internet on the trail (and even if I had it, no desire to type large amounts of text on my work phone), expect new logs coming up next week :-)
