Oh blimey how stressful is it trying to pack everything? I have borrowed a 65l Macpac from my daughter and it is a really good rucksack, but I just keep finding new things I want to include.

So the 2" grey high heel shoes had to come out - they are too bulky and were only for dancing tango in anyway. Luckily I can get some proper dance shoes in my daypack so will have to carry them around with me - oh dear!

And then the fleece I had stuffed in the bottom with the sleeping bag - I'll wear it instead even if I'm hot!

So that helped a bit as well as removal of one bikini, one t-shirt and one cream jumper.

A bit sad as I want to wear a variety of things seeing as I'm gone for 5 months - but I need to be practical.
