2020 The Great North Walk
Tim's Gear for the Great North Walk
Last week I sorted my food for my upcoming journey on the Great North Walk and yesterday I spent 3 hours assembling all my gear. This trip has been a bit of an odd one for me as my preferred hiking season tends to be late July through to late September – in most cases I don’t mind the colder weather and try to avoid the heat where I can.
This year I cancelled my proposed hike on the Australian Alps Walking Track and it’s left me hiking later in the season. As such I’ve left out items of clothing like my lightweight thermal gloves and heavier thermal top replacing them with a T-shirt. My final pack will occur a few days out from the trip.
While most of my gear is very familiar, I have a few new pieces of equipment in my pack. The main new item is a Big Agnes Fly Creek 2 person platinum tent (at under 1 kg) and the Goal Zero Sherpa 100PD Power Bank. I’ll be familiarising myself with the tent over the next week and will do full reviews of these items at the end of the trip.
