Your Story or Advice for Others
General CommentsPack light!
Your Best Equipment
Kids poncho (55g) I also wish I'd had my light-weight umbrella for my whole end-to-end.
Your Worst Equipment
Rain jacket - was too hot and a pain taking it on and off all the time for light showers. As the jacket was a few years old I also should have renewed the waterproofing before the trip.
Advice for Others
Give it a go. We planned our end-to-end well and pretty much stuck to our schedule and remained flexible and positive even when nature took events out of our control.
