Clothing.....

Clothing & equipment for this trek appears to be a somewhat large list of items that I don't appear to have to hand.


Footwear - water repellent and fully broken in hiking boots, I am not sure they sell them "broken in" in the shops, so looks like I will have to get in a bit of hiking practise done :-)

Trainers for use in the camps, I was thinking more of bedroom slippers, but I am now wondering if once at camp there are some exercise activities to undertake! The boots are supplemented with hiking gaiters so that "scree" doesn't get into my boots on the descent and also to keep my boots dry when in deep snow!!!! Now I was aware it got cold, but who mentioned deep snow ! Will I require a huskey as well.

Finally 2 pairs of medium/heavyweight walking socks and thin liner socks. Normally my socks struggle to last one day, so 2 pairs for 10 days could be a bit of a stretch. Wonder if I need to take a washing machine with me.

So another task - get out there and buy some hiking boots and get them "broken in".
