So I just got off the phone with BT and the phat pipe gets closed off tomorrow. I've spent a couple of hours paring down my luggage and making liberal use of the phrase 'I'll buy one of those when I get there' until my main bag is under 20Kg and the hand luggage consists of my camera bag and the laptop.

I'm quite proud of the packing selection because I've got stuff to cover working in business environments right through to bivvying on top of mountains. I've even included the climbing gear because I know un hombre de la cuerda (a man of the rope).  ¶ 5:00 PM
