Did a 26 km training hike with everything as if I was already hiking across France. With a full pack and food and water.
Need to make a couple of small changes otherwise pack equipment and clothes all good to go. My ultra light toothpaste is also ready now.

Still odd to think except for food and water I have everything I need for a 3 month trip on my back. Training hikes along the Moore Park Beach are very pleasant. Different every day.

Watching the trawlers as they come close to the beach and the dolphins playing near the beach as the sun sets.
