Nearly got all the kit I now need. Just putting together a first aid kit and need to buy two more breakfasts.
Tasted Expedition Foods 'Hot cereal start with mango' this morning and found it really 'sawdusty', so will be sticking with 'Porridge with strawberries' for all seven days.........hmmmmm.
Also tried out loading up my pack. Everything seems to fit into the Salomon backpack and Raidlight front pack. No room for the Thermarest as expected, so might rig something up to sling that under the pack. Plenty of spare room in the front pack for the distress flares, salt tablets and night sticks that will be handed out by the organisers.
Two packs together plus sleep mat weighed 7.5 kg on the bathroom scales, probably nearer 8 kg based on weighing everything individually and therefore more accurately.
Will start doing training runs carrying the full pack from tomorrow...
