Kitting out for the adventure!

Over the past few weeks, we've been buying appropriate clothing and kit we will need for our hike!  We keep telling ourselves that all these things will come in useful over and over again, not just for our Camino adventure!  It's got to the stage that we find ourselves very committed to taking up hiking!!!!

Today we went to Go Outdoors and spent ages trying in Tilly hats!  These hats had been recommended to us!  You really do not want to know how much they cost!!!  But apparently you will never need another outdoor hat in your life! Certainly if they do everything they claim to do then they really could prove to be a good investment!  I've gone for a lightweight stone coloured hat, and David and green with rust piping wax one!  Here we are!!  :-)

Our other purchase today, again from Go Outdoors is a hydration system for each of us.  David bought a 2 litre and I got a 1 litre.

After yesterday, we are now the proud owners of Rohan Stravaig 18 day rucksacks!  I really love mine!!!  It even comes with a cover if the weather turns inclement!!  :)

(Cool!!  I'm writing this on my mini iPad and the blog can launch the camera to take a photo without closing the blog!!  Impressed!  It's these little things that please me!!)
