Well suffice to say that most of this is probably going to end up being turfed because it won't fit into the backpack. Ha Ha - how you like?? The food and race aids that are in powder form - we will wait until after registration and begin to portion out into plastic ziploc bags - because we'll have to go though customs and the last thing we need is to be stopped because we're each loaded down with plastic bags of suspicious white powder.
I think the rest will have to be on taken on an essential/non essential paradigm basis. I suppose one can get carried a bit too carried away trying to cater for every eventuality, but gees, its hard.

I am also attaching a google map of the terrain for stage one.
