On Thursday in Sakubva market in Mutare I picked up a Gregory Stout 65 litre rucksack for $30. In very good condition apart from the front stretchy pocket which has a repair patch sewn through to the main compartment underneath rendering it unusable. Still, hundreds or thousands of km and dollars away from an outdoor shop selling US equipment, it was a remarkable find! And, of course, it needed a test drive to compare it with my, now almost new, Lundhags Padje Light 45 litre.

So, a 20km jaunt to our favourite waterfall and back.
