Good morning folks
After a few weeks of prep and months of training I've collected all my kit for doing the Way and wild camping on the route. I will be doing this completely solo. Friday night I will be heading to Milngavie campsite for my first night then start Saturday morning from Milngavie about 0700 and reaching the foot of Nevis Tuesday night in order to climb her first thing Wednesday morning. I'm just going to run through kit I'm taking and looking if I've missed anything out... Your input is appreciated
1 man tent
Sleeping bag and roll mat
5x 24 hr rations (military issue)
Small tin of coffee and flask
3 litre camelbak
Butane gas 3 and stove with small pot
5x socks
3x anti bac running shorts (tight fit)
2x outdoor trousers
1x pakka waterproof trousers
3x tshirts
1x waterproof jacket 10000mm
1x fleece lightweight
Small first aid kit
Bar of soap, baby wipes, toothbrush and paste
Compass and map
GPS garmin 301 (wrist type) just Incase
Head torch and spare batteries
A few questions I would like answered though
Is the walk manageable with walking shoes? Or are hiking boots the better option? Got both ready to go but never done this distance before
Is there places to fill my camelbak with clean water or is it all natural sources? Puritabs worth taking?
Is there walker friendly places along the route that would allow a quick phone charge? Don't want to miss the sites but I know the iphone won't last 5 days without a charge... It struggles to last 5 hours!
Your help and advice is much appreciated.
Thanks again
