Packing light!

With only a day before we leave, the packing is in full swing. Due to the geographical spread of the team, this is not the most coordinated of efforts, and only once we come together on Friday night will we know who packs light and who has brought the kitchen sink (Laurie). 

It is only as we approach this stage that the details of the expedition have been brought into focus. Packing efficiently and ensuring nothing is left behind could be the difference between and difficult first few days and a difficult, stressful and expensive few days! Just to give an indication of what we are bringing below I have attached an approximate kit list of everything that individuals need to be bringing;
