... well ...... maybe Mount Beadell! So, I've just bought yet ANOTHER camera backpack, something about backpacks, & stoves..........

Lowepro Photo Trekker AW. Got all my camera kit in it, & compass, GPS, & 2 1 litre water bottles.
Weight = 12 kg.
I started a weight loss regime on the first of January, and have lost 8 kg. I am now beginning to feel fit enough to start walking with the backpack on for three mornings a week. Where I live, it's REALLY hilly ( ask Brew 69), so this should be good training/

For my three weeks away, I am skimping on clothes etc., but am taking all my extended camera kit. After all, it's the reason I'm going. My camera backpack is LARGER than all my clothes & personal things!

So, looks like this Wolf's gonna be doin' some serious huffin' & puffin'!!!
