I wouldn't bother with down trousers or the hood (wear a beanie if you're cold in the tent. City trousers would get ditched too, no need for them. 2 pairs of shoes? 2 knifes? Don't see any need for carrying the Ultrasil daypack either.
Thanks Wallace; I'd feel even more comfortable with a Trangia but the weight; I had just bought this alcohol burner, I don' feel confident enough to light this thing in the mud inside the tent; so ditching it it will be !
As for the shoes; I thought it'd be good to have one 'spare' for the rivers & really muddy days + in camp.
As for the knifes, it's more really one scissors and one knife.
As for the trousers, I'll be flying from Switzerland to EDI then to Inverness by train; I wouldn't feel comfortable in hiking trousers in the plane & so + thinking of the way back all with mud & whiskey stains
The daypack is to keep some stuff in the plane while I check-in the bag with all the hiking stuff (trekking poles, tent pegs, stove, etc) - it's the lightest smallest I could find just to keep the electronics with me in the plane; for 30g I think it's worth it but if you have other ideas I'm willing to listen !
