It is not size that counts…
During the build up to Offa’s Dyke, Phil Turner (@Lightw8Outdoors) was very helpful with advice on how to lighten our backpacks (I think he was horrified how heavy they were going to be!)
In the end we managed to get our backpacks down to a non-horrific weight, about 15kg each – but this is how the master does it:

Phil has threaten to spend a weekend with me at some point to show me the ways of the light backpacker and to try and sway me from my “comfy camping” ways! I look forward to it!

Cheers for this..
Oh.. and i wasn’t so in love with tech.
I’m well impressed with the pack size of the UK clothing. Back in the 90’s me and @DaveEwington used to pride ourselves on traveling the world with nothing more than big bumbags. We were in hot climates though..
