Terry's Packing and Weights

Here is Terry's list of equipment and weights, also not in order of importance! His rucksack too is a good personal fit.

Terry's rucksack, Berghaus Freeflow IV 40+10:-
Towel (large - microfibre) - 300gms;
Valerie's towel (large - softfibre) 190gms
Small towel 110gms
Our sheet sleeping bags -(375gmsx2) - 750gms (insect proofed)
First Aid/Medical - 450gms;
Soap/toothpaste etc - 300gms;
2 'sporks', tel charger+cable -120gms;
trousers(1), shirt(1), vest(1), pants(3), T-shirt(1) - 1k 100gms;
Socks - 200gms
Fleece - 350gms;
Camera and case - 250gms;
Waterproofs:- poncho - 340gms and trousers - 350 gms
Crocs - 220gms; .
Plus weight of my rucksack (1.67kg) and 'snack bars'.
Total weight 7.1k (without water in my bottles).


This always reminds me of Brian the snail - carrying everything around on my back! Seriously though, the fit of the rucksack is all important. If it fits correctly you can pack it full and, with practice, carry it all day. Mine has already been from Santander to Oviedo on the Camino del Norte, and then on to Santiago over the Camino Primitivo, 600 km with no problems.

I am looking forward to taking things a bit slower and having time to visit places I just walked through before.
