New kit!

I have slowly been replacing my 20 year old kit with new lightweight items and over the coming months, as I have a chance to put it through it's paces, I'll review it on this blog. Some of the items I'll be using are...

• Hilleberg Akto
• GoLite Continuum pack
• Ray Jardine RayWay quilt
• Thermarest Prolite Three 3/4
• Berghaus Infinity Light Jacket
• Berghaus Paclite Smock
• Inov8 Terroc shoes
• All sorts of Ti' goodies
• All sorts of bits and bobs from backpackinglight.com in the US and backpackinglight.co.uk

If you are interested in the Terrocs, visit Andy Howell's site and check out his comprehensive long term report. It made me buy mine!

I'll also be looking at some of the books that have helped me with the whole 'lightweight thing' (see a selection of the best in my links section on the right), plus the Brecon Beacons walking guides that I use.
