It's the Rally launch party on Saturday, in Devon, in Bradninch village. the temptation was to log on to Simply Hike or even Amazon and buy all of the kit required for next years trip and try it out in Devon. That is my downfall every time, buy too soon and too much. I honestly believe that if I had left the equipment selection to Tony we would have ended up with a more functional, yet smaller, set of equipment, capable of everything from fording a raging river in flash flood to creating a time vortex to remove us (in an emergency) to 12th century Northern Wallachia. I did, however, resist this compulsion and dug around the equipment I had bought for the Timbuktu trip. Tents, air-beds, cookers and sleeping bags were all stashed in a cupboard deemed too cumbersome or old. We'll take those and will be more comfortable for it.
More later.
