Eve of Holiday

Tomorrow I will be setting off for Milngavie on the train if they are running on time after a derailment today. To be honest I have mixed feelings, I'm not exactly looking forward to it yet because I've not had time to really think about it. I've spent all day listening to everyones problems and rushing around.

I suppose it will be good to get away from everything (I should be saying it will be good). I just can't get into holiday mode yet. Finished packing my bag about 10 minutes ago, it doesn't feel too bad. Although this time I've spent a bit of time adjusting everything. There is also the slight omission of water so far, I don't need that filling up until Saturday morning when I leave the hotel I'm staying in. 3 to 4 litres of water adds quite a bit of weight to the pack!

In some ways I'm slightly nervous or I know I will be once I get to bed tonight. I have only had 1 night in the tent so far and I'm not sure I will like Youth Hostels but its an experience which is what it's all about.

I haven't over stocked on food, I do have enough Cereal bars to last me several days. I have got 3 Wayfarer meals, 4 cup-a-soups, 5 peperamis, supanoodles and a few other things. This may not sound like a lot considering I will be away for 8 nights but I will be staying in hotels 2 of those night (beginning and end), 2 Youth Hostels (although need own food) and I will be stopping in any pubs for meals when I pass them when I'm hungry. Of course I will be sampling a few local ales while in those pubs ;-)
