As I will be travelling with no support team the equipment needs to be as light as possible. However, it also needs to be of sufficient quality to be able to deal with the various climates I will encounter. Walking 20 miles soaked to the skin up to five days in a row could potentially make life very difficult. Therefore, all my equipment is light weight, waterproof and breathable. But the basics I will be taking are as follows:

• Rucksack
• Socks x4 pairs (Changing socks every 6-8 miles)
• T-shirts x3
• Briefs x4 pairs (I will be washing these after each day!)
• Trainers x2 pairs
• Waterproof Jacket
• Fleece
• Walking Trousers
• Water Containers
• First Aid Kit
• Energy Bars
• Map
• Mobile Phone
• Camera
• Tooth Brush
• Vaseline (For those hard to reach places - YOU DON'T WANT CHAFING!)
