Success - just.

I have worked hard today to try and squeeze everything into my rucksack. I just managed but had to sacrifice a spare top and a rain jacket. I have a really thin wind proof top for the night run so come in handy if the wind gets up which can happen. I'll take my rain jacket just in case I manage to find a different way of squeezing it in. The annoying thing is they are making us carry 2,000 calories for day 6 although at the end they will be supplying dinner as the race is officially finished and it's party time! My rucksack weighs 9.3 kilos and I still have 500g to add plus 1.5 litres of water. It's going to be a heavy load for the first few days which will be a killer with the sand dunes on day 2. Just a few days to collect the last few items and go over my plans for clothes for before and after the event. Exciting times. The last chapter of this journey is about to unfold.
