Have no idea what capacity mine is. It's one of those large sports bags with boot sections at each end. I think Ellie would fit in it though! Daisy

I got a 100L Rucksack,and im struggling to get everything in..think i need to downsize a bit.lol Ryan can fit in it but hes only a little 7 yr old mind lol Anna :-)

Oh Anna he's so lovely though - leave everything behind and bring him instead! Daisy

Me giggling!! Remember that what you wear the night before can be worn the following day to walk in if you are really clever!! :O)

lol......Daisy and Diana. Daisy, you've met my husband, don't think he'll fit into it, and even if he did, I wouldn't take him anyway. Diana.......the camels will love it, its soft and black.........lol Suzy :o) x

Diana I am NOT walking in pyjamas!!!! Daisy

my kit list is gradually getting filled out... picked up sleeping bag from colleague last week (he used to be a very keen trekker). Bought a silk liner on ebay yesterday, along with a head torch (has anyone else bought one, or am I the only one who's going to look stupid?), my ebay poles arrived last week, as did my 'big bag'. Today I bought the stuff I need for my first aid bag, a wicking tshirt and a nice long sleeved tshirt for the evenings from fatface (I think I was probably going to buy thahth anyway lol). Not a great deal left to buy now...

Oh i havent even thought about what to wear on a night,Ive got thermals for bed,but I guess i should bring some more trousers lol. Daisy,Ryan wants to come and build sandcastles lol.Ive got instructions to bring them some sand back.. and Jacob wants me to bring him back a beetle :-s Anna :-)

Paul I've got the head torch too and a right plank I look according to my son! Daisy

Me not got one but have got a little maglite one!! :O) Me will look daft enough as it is without a head light to bring attention to myself!! xx

Thanks Joy! Daisy

thanks Joy!! xx

********A tip for all of us trekkers!!********** For the medication we have to take with us like immodium, dioralyte, antihistamines etc, buy some bubble wrap to wrap them in and pack it in the coolest part of your day sack and then the conditions out there should not affect it in any way as advised by my pharmacist!! Susie xx

and we can play with the bubble wrap too!! Daisy

Guys I really do promise that it aint gonna be that hot out there that your medication will be affected!! But I will so be playing with BUBBLEWRAP!! xx

I do not want my 'pill' or my asthma inhalers to fail me so I am playing it safe!!...lol Susie xx

Good luck to trekkers! :-)

Thanks Lucia!! xx

susie babe you may want your pils to be cool but put them where they are easy to get at if needed xxxand good luck to you all xxxx

What time at Heathrow? I might not be able to get there, but would like to think of you then.
