Day 172: Oppan Packing Style
For V—— and P.S——.* and anyone else who thinks my advice regarding what to pack for a long-distance walking holiday is worth at least twenty-five cents or three minutes of your time.
*P.S——, you can ignore 'Software', although a silk liner is great for extra warmth or dodgy sheets in a B&B.

** Essential. Otherwise how can you recall which clouds you have seen (aka collected) and which you haven't.
*** If you are staying in B&B's they'll often have this anyway so you can use theirs and top up yours when needed. I didn't advocate that.
^ The English sun is no competitor to the Australian, I use this as sunscreen and moisturiser. But if you don't re-apply you will get burnt at first.
^^ See Aunty Di.
^^^ If you get hayfever at home, the hayfever you get here is like torture to a bumped knee.
