Food
The custom is to eat food in the huts so I only packed snacks and 1 bakcup freeze dried meal :
- 1 freeze dried meal (Real turmat).
- ~200g of nuts.
- 1 chocolate bar (70g).
- 1 thin dry-cured sausage.
- 2 snackbars per day, resulting in ~400g of snackbars (Snickers, Swebar, Raw-food).
I bought additional snacks in the huts and villages I passed.
Weather
Post mortem notes
- Really need to invest in a proper Gore-Tex waterproof jacket.
- In the mountains, 6-7h of hiking per day is probably the sweetspot. It gives time to properly take in the views and allows to skip a day of hiking if on a given day the weather is too bad.
