Essentials
Optimised for speedy road walking and off-road pathfinding, my (somewhat) light 7kg setup will be tested to the extreme over 29 days across the bogs and boreens of rural Ireland.

This backpack served me well over three months of interrailing through Europe, any bigger and I sacrifice mobility and invite fatigue! Less capacity = less weight, saving my knees and making sure I can keep up the pace for consecutive 35km days.
It depends, but around 7-7.5kg, depending on how much food an water I will be carrying more than anything.
A mixture of campsites, hostels, and wild camping. Hoping for blue skies but prepared for the usual Atlantic storms.
