Night hike preparation

Published by David Carrington on November 16, 2007 under Misc

It’s about zero degrees outside, perfect to go on a night hike for 10 miles around Cookham with a load of Scouts I’d say! Here’s how I’m packed:

All my walking gear spread out in a mess over my bed

Bag main compartment:

  • Waterproofs
  • Headlamp
  • Food
  • Spare map

Front compartment:

  • First aid kit
  • Camera
  • GPS (for plotting route on the computer later)
  • Spare batteries
  • Wallet
  • Keys
  • Space blanket

Fleece pockets:

  • Woolly hat
  • Gloves
  • Compass
  • Folded up map, printed from an OS map

In the rear of the bag is a big pocket for my water bladder, 2 litres so that I’ve got plenty spare. I just need to charge my phone now and that’s me pretty much ready.
