I've done a Saunders and 3 LAMMs. I've seen a couple of blog posts about kit that I thought were good, no doubt from fast runners (definitely the second one) but nonetheless I think you can be inspired by these blogs and set yourself a target of getting close. It helps so much over a long day on rough ground, not just the weight but the volume of the pack swinging about too. I go for under 5kg without water in a 20l rucksack. Then collect everything you want, weigh it, and begin thinking creatively about how to cut it down to reach that target!

Has anyone done a mountain marathon? I'm doing the Saunders in July and it's a bit of a step into the unknown. If you have then what kit is essential and do you have any recommendations?
