I do indeed need the whole tent, but I vary the pegs I take. That may be why they are listed seperately? Or it could have been a hangover of listing the Voyager split between two. Who knows.<br />I love my Exos and it does carry so well. I did try squeezing all my kit into the 46, but it didn't go! I was probably being quite gentle with it (as it was going back if it didn't fit, didn't want to break it!) but I do like rummage room, so much easier.<br />Wow. Two weeks today I meet Laura off the bus (or train, I haven't planned this bit...)<br />I Can't Wait!!!<br />See you somewhere...Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023861265500569999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-40360149483197229702014-04-23T00:03:07.037+01:002014-04-23T00:03:07.037+01:00Hm?

I used to be quite obsessed about cutting the weight gramme-by-gramme but I find the Exos (46 for me) is so comfy I don't really notice a few extra luxuries. Maybe I'll get round to recalculating my current total pack weight, as yours seems quite low considering all the stuff you carry. See you Up North in a few weeks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-5869918972822205412014-04-20T16:52:50.508+01:002014-04-20T16:52:50.508+01:00Yes lovely, but I'm being patient.

But a lot of my gear seems to be purple...<br /><br />I suspect we'll see you in Montrose, have an excellent one!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089530928216314797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926024504196068369.post-47215162610794136732014-04-17T16:34:54.923+01:002014-04-17T16:34:54.923+01:00Thanks for letting folk have a peek at your gear, ...Thanks for letting folk have a peek at your gear, Louise.<br /><br />Looks a comprehensive list.<br /><br />My only comment is about the; Hat purple and the Pillow case purple: but, you did say the list was subject to change :-)<br /><br />Have a good one.
