Travelling light? Sensible.
Taking stuff you've been wearing all year so you don't break the rules of your charity challenge? Not quite as hard as I'd expected!
I'm taking a 40ltr backpack, and am sticking to the traveling rule of 3. One on your body, one in the wash, one hanging to dry.
So from the capsule I'm taking:
 |
| The colourful summer frock |
 |
| A raincoat (I'll be gutted if I need it) |
 |
| My denim shirt |
plus my plaid shirt.
I've also packed some things that are allowed under the rules under 'activity specific':
- A silk headscarfe (for when I need to cover my hair for cultural reasons)
- A pashmina (that'll just be used as a towel and a blanket)
- A thermal vest & and thermal long sleeve top (these will keep me warm on the plane & double up as pjs and yoga gear)
- Yoga pants (which will double as pj bottoms)
- a Swimsuit
- 3 pairs of pants & 2 bras
- Trekking sandals
- and 4 pairs of socks (normally on this kind of trip I'd pack converse for when temperatures drop at night - since this isn't possible the ever classy socks and sandals it is!)
I'm not going to look like a fashion plate - but my bag is light & I have everything I need to be appropriate / comfortable at all times. So I'm pretty pleased with myself.
But it's not just clothes is it? So I'm also taking:
- My camera (by far the heaviest thing in my case - but so important)
- A sleeping bag and liner
- a memory card adaptor
- my tablet (so I can stay in touch with you guys)
- my phone (so I can stay in touch with matt)
- my kindle
- a torch
- a comb
- hand sanitiser
- a plug adaptor & recharger cables
- painkillers & immodium
- a soap dish with solid cleanser & shampoo in
- a childrens toothbrush (spiderman - couldn't resist)
- toothpaste, suntan lotion, bug spray, afterbite & moisturiser
- tampons, cotton buds & a muslin facecloth
- razors, nail clippers and a pair of tweezers
- 4 clothes pegs
- 2 cotton tote bags
- a couple of notepads and biros
Wish me luck.
