A fitting beginning


 I'm packing. 

And unpacking. 

And packing again, but this time rotating everything 90°.

But still it won't fit. 

I am trying, really trying, to travel light, simple and small. My tent weighs less than a kilo, my Primus stove is tiny, and I'm taking the bare minimum of clothes. 

But my trial pack this weekend was a disaster. A bulging, nearly bursting rucksack, a whole bagful of stuff I couldn't squeeze in, and a pile of things that, OK, I can live without (no, I really don't need a magnify glass, or that extra pair of trousers...) 

So tomorrow I'm going to have to buy a bigger rucksack, and start again. It's that, or do a Dervla Murphy  https://www.travelbooks.co.uk/dervla-murphy/ and take a donkey.
