This is my kit list for the Cambrian Way. I am using an ultralight setup, wild camping beneath a tarp and a bivvy bag.

 

Total weight 6.2kg. This is a quarter of the weight I took on the Cape Wrath Trail, a comparable walk I did in Winter.

 

 

 

 

I cut weight in several key areas:

 

 

• Backpack – 800g down from a massive 2100g. A cheap nylon pack from Mountain Warehouse.
• Layers – Less clothing needed for summer.
• Quilt – Using a down quilt instead of sleeping bag halved my weight.
• Stoveless – In summer, hot meals are just less important.
• Tentless – I am bivvying with a poncho-tarp suspended over trekking poles.
