The HackPacker Backpack

Less than a week to go and I'm packed. There's always debate among walkers about what to take and what to leave out to reduce weight and bulk, so for the record here's what is packed in my rucksack (with drybag liner) this time:
Hilleberg Akto tent, Vango Ultralite four-season sleeping bag, Thermarest mat, travel pillow case, trek towel, toilet roll, trowel, Ortlieb map case, Stedman guide, 2 x C2C strip maps, mobile loaded with Viewfinder GPS maps, phone charger, 1 x socks, 1 x Sealskins, spare zip-off trousers, 2 x boxers, headscarf, Goretex gaiters, Petzl Myo XP headlamp, Black Diamond Apollo lantern, 2 x water bottles, North Face Hedgehog trekking trainers, Aquaclear tablets, painkillers, multivitamins, spare AA batteries, small first aid kit, whistle, debit card, toothbrush, toothpaste, lip balm, 12 x energy bars, small notebook and pen, 2 x blank cheques.
Total pack weight: 24lb (10.9kg)
I'll be wearing a North Face jacket, North Face fleece, T-shirt, zip-off trousers, boxers, walking socks, Timex Ironman watch and North Face Syncline GTX boots.
