Rising level of excitement (panic)

Can it really only be just over a week away!

Caen Hill Locks lift the canal 237 feet
Need to start thinking about what to take.  Bare minimum only as there isn't too much space and every extra item means more weight to paddle and carry around the locks.

The longest portage seems to be the Caen Hill series of Locks at about 2 miles in total so some help with carrying might be needed.  Thinking about using webbing that can be turned into a shoulder yoke. My kayak probably weighs half as much again as Neil's but that disadvantage is somewhat offset by the extra volume (a bit like their owners then!)

Bank holiday Monday is the trial pack and review of final details.
