|
|
Temp: 0°..+15°C |
|
|
|
|
|
Weather: rain almost every day (not too much), some snow, some sun, wind ~15 m/s one day |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Didn't really need: plastic bags for feet (not effective when so wet) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wish I'd had: MUCH more leukotape (bring a whole roll next time), maybe synthetic puffy with hood, extra clothes for paddling |

Backpack: ~21 kg at start, 9 kg at finish |
