BBC News – Public forests must not be sold, say advisers.

At least they will be safe for now – until one of the government’s mates decides they can make money from them!

I have uploaded, an updated backpacking kit list for a weekend backpacking trip – here.

The spreadsheet contains the latest revision of my lightweight backpacking kit list, showing the weight of each item carried, some packing notes and an estimate for consumables for a short weekend trip. There is also a list of supermarket backpacking food (for the UK) and a ouyline packing list of equipment heading for you to create your own equipment list.
