Well, I have to say I'm feeling a little under-prepared considering the walk is in TWO WEEKS! I had planned on a few more than two training walks, although I have been doing my usual 3x a week exercise class and the trainer (thanks Santy) has been ensuring I have been doing plenty of heavy-weighted squats and lunges!
I think I have enough meals now, still need to buy a few more snacks (because I may or may not have already bought them and eaten them).
I should check the first aid kit! Make sure I have enough bits and blister treatments.
And I could do with a trip into the Valley to the outdoor stores, just to make sure I really do have everything I need!

Today is dahl day. I've made a big pot of nutritious lentil dahl and it's now in the dehydrator getting all the liquid sucked out of it so I can carry a super lightweight meal....more of these to come!
There is a lot of food to prepare. 5 days is a lot to carry for so we have to be careful how much heavy food we put in our packs. My preference is to prepare homemade meals and dehydrate them as I've tried a few of the packaged ones and was disappointed. I also have a rule that I only add hot water to my food to re-hydrate it - no cooking as it means you have to carry more fuel and therefore more weight!

So an early start yesterday for a 9.5km training walk at Mt Cootha - arrived just before it was light on the shortest day of the year!
