    If stopping to rest the legs before a bit, make sure all the zips etc on your pack or bum bag are done up. Lost a GPS

    After a rookie trip, write a list of what worked well, what was a waste of money and what you wish you had taken. Do this while unpacking and still fresh in your mind
    Good tips cheers sako
