Trekking closely along the boundaries, going up and down over the hills and trails. We'll go for lunch nearby afterwards.

Elevation gain: depends on who's leading.

Note: Pack your rucksack as you would for 7 days. You need to get used to the weight of the pack.

Water, rocks, books, your pet dog, anything with weight. You might also want to pack as you would for your trips. See our Backpacker Checklist for information about how to pack your pack.
