Yes, I've seen previous posts on this topic, (I particularly liked the suggestion of taking a chiffon scarf!), but wonder if anyone's really had to fall back on their kit and whether they've made changes to it in the light of painful experience?
Of course, it's each to their own - you're bound to personalise it in minor ways. For example, I have overlapping toes (probably as a result of wearing winkle-pickers back in the day), so take foam tubing to stop hard skin/blisters developing in that area. I now take more Ibuprofen than I used to, not for pain relief but to reduce inflammation around my Achilles tendon. I sweat freely, so I take isotonic tablets too, plus a few ProPlus pills in case there are no cafés around.What's your basic first aid kit, and how do you customise it?
