I’ve only done a few overnighters over the years but intend to do a lot more next year and I’m curious as to what the average persons pack weight is.
I’m not talking Ultralight, just normal people going out for a night on the hills.
I went up Sprinkling Tarn with my son in July and mine weighed 35kg!
I know we took wine, steaks, potatoes, a good sized frying pan, frozen milk, too much water, a change of clothes, washing kit, the kitchen sink, etc and I know I could have travelled a lot lighter and I’m in the process of acquiring lighter equipment (the cheap sleeping bag I had weighed over 2kg) but is a target of 20kg too much?
I’m a fit and strong 60 year old.
