However I tend to look back on multi-day trips with a far greater sense of nostalgia and reminiscence for some reason. Although, in theory, the only difference is an additional day, it turns a fairly ordinary walk into a mini adventure. One with fewer time constraints, no additional driving and inevitably some setbacks, but that\u2019s what makes a good story. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your first multi-day hike: You&#8217;ll adjust your rucksack&#8230; a lot.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Think you\u2019ve nailed your rucksack fitting and packing? Think again. All that time you spent meticulously packing will most likely be rearranged once you\u2019ve covered a few miles\u2014and that\u2019s fine. The key to a well-fitting pack is to have the weight of the items inside evenly distributed. It\u2019s pretty hard to know whether you\u2019ve nailed your packing until you\u2019ve walked for a little while, with the only exception being someone who does this stuff all the time. Once you\u2019ve re-packed your kit, you\u2019ll probably have to have a play around with the straps. Remember about shoulder straps, hipbelt and various other straps to get the overall fit nailed. Once this is done, you\u2019ll be away. Don\u2019t be tempted to just put up with an uncomfortable pack\u2014it\u2019ll ruin your day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/tkt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2022\/10\/What-to-expect-from-your-first-multi-day-hike-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"What to expect from your first multi-day hike\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.trekitt.co.uk%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br> <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your first multi-day hike You see more!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a million and one distractions in our daily routines.

From the way the light pokes through the clouds to the shape of a spiderweb interlinked between the trees. If your main goal is to enjoy your walk and not set a speed record, give yourself plenty of extra time to enjoy these small things without worrying about an arbitrary deadline.

Recently, myself, Kaleigh and Jay (also from Trekitt) decided to walk the Cotswold Way. I opted to plan the lot as I quite like planning. The route is like a big line that goes North to South (or vice versa), meaning you need to figure out a way of getting back to the start. We opted to park one car at the start and one at the finish, meaning we weren\u2019t limited to a bus or train timetable; nice and relaxed. By the fifth day, we were happily wandering along after a morale-boosting pub stop and decided to take in the view near a trig point. I\u2019m not sure what we were talking about that sparked the thought, but I immediately got that \u2018hot head\u2019 feeling that you get when you\u2019ve messed up. Cleverly, I\u2019d placed a load of my more valuable belongings inside Kaleigh\u2019s glovebox\u2014including my car keys, meaning when we arrived at my car, I wouldn&#8217;t be able to get in. Muppet.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily I managed to convince a mate to give us a lift back to the start, but this is a great example that, even with plenty of planning, something will go wrong. It adds to the story and makes it a proper adventure, even if at the time you\u2019re kicking yourself for being a monumental wally. Also look at the flat sandwich. Terrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/tkt\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2022\/10\/Screenshot-2022-11-04-at-10.37.34.jpg\" alt=\"things will go wrongWhat to expect from your first multi-day hike\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your first multi-day hike: Snacks are life.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Being hungry sucks; even more so when exerting yourself. Some get hangry, others get the shakes, or, like me, you just go braindead. Bring a lot of snacks\u2014more than you think you need. Hipbelt pockets are perfect for 1kg packets of jelly babies. Bananas, flapjacks and nuts are also great to stash in the top of your pack when you need a boost. There have been a few instances where I\u2019ve been a bit fed up of walking (it happens) and decided to have a coffee &amp; snack break\u20149 times out of 10 this fixes the issue.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You may end up selling some kit.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Continuing from the story above, I began our walk wearing a pair of shorts made from a mixture of cotton and nylon. I\u2019d worn them for plenty of day walks before, but after a full day of walking with a full pack and 25\u00b0C weather, I was fed up with them. They felt bulky and were beginning to rub\u2014luckily I\u2019d packed a super lightweight pair of gym shorts that I wore the following day. These weren\u2019t ideal either, but at least they were comfortable. Next time I\u2019ll buy something in the middle.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The point is, you\u2019ll be blissfully unaware of the flaws in your kit (or rather, the flaws in your ability to pick the correct kit) until you\u2019ve worn it for 48 hours solidly. You\u2019ll love the stuff that works and hate the stuff that doesn\u2019t. Again, all adds to the fun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You&#8217;ll probably overpack.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Backpacking is all trial and error; no one gets it right first time. You\u2019ll most likely overpack for your first outing, most commonly thinking you need multiples of everything because you\u2019re out for two days. That makes sense for a business trip, but good baselayers can be worn for days at a time and won\u2019t smell. Do you need deodorant? Nope. Spare shoes? Absolutely not. A towel? C\u2019mon, I\u2019m sure you can go stinky for two days. Over time, you\u2019ll narrow down your kit to just the stuff you really need.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A few additional tips&#8230;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:37px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do a few long walks in your shoes\/boots before committing to a multi-day&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t scrimp on socks; buy the best you can afford&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring a cap + sunglasses for summer &amp; beanie and gloves for winter&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grab some cash and stash it in your phone case\u2014some remote locations don\u2019t accept cards&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid cotton next to skin, it\u2019ll absorb moisture and become abrasive&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t overpack, bring only what you need.
