A weighty subject

Well our rucksacks are packed and ready to go as you can see from the photo below where we trying them out, looking at the photo they don't look too heavy although looks can be deceptive, we were very surprised that what seems so little can weigh so much! As you can see we needed to lean against each other to stay standing...well OK not quite that bad but I think we will be glad we are taking walking poles...neither of us thought we would ever be saying that!
