I've gone through my backpack and it's still too heavy! Today my pack weighs 9kgs. (which includes 1 litre of aqua and food) I seriously tried to cut out as much as I could and it's 1kg heavier than I intend to carry. How the heck am I going to cut another 1kg? hehehehe.... Well Monique, I think I'll take you up on your advice and ditch the gel... My hair will be wilder than ever...hehehe... That was one the very few luxuries I'm taking (or was), now I understand one cannot allow themselves too many luxuries otherwise you have to carry it and the body feels every gram.. Less weight equals happy knees/joints...:)
My knee is coming along nicely. I've seen 2 specialists and they both have given the go ahead. There advice is take hiking poles, orthotic inserts, good quality boots, knee brace, and carry as little weight as possible. Just yesterday my high tech knee brace arrived, I'm heading out this weekend to test it out. (After forking out $150 it better do the job) Fingers crossed.
Next entry I'll post my packing list.

Good call on the gel! Of course I have straight, thin hair, so I don't know what a hardship it will be to go without!
What food do you have packed? You will find that for most days all you need to carry is water and maybe a piece of fruit.
