When I did the Pennine Way it was 20 years ago and I didn't have a lot of technical kit. I had a 60 l rucksack with the following (from memory):
bulky synthetic bag
half a Wild Country Quasar (bulky >3kg tent)
half a Trangia plus fuel
Big 3-layer goretex
overtrousers
thick windproof fleece
quite a lot of other spare clothes espec. socks
quite a lot of food (prob not very light)
lots of maps
small radio (!)
1st aid kit
torch
hat / gloves
camera
rolled up Karrimat on the outside
probably lots of other crap like paracord, penknfes, spare compass, spare batteries, chunky retro phone, etc etc etc

Just did some googling on this and finding it quite amusing that some people take twice as much to walk the pennine way as people take to do a ten day 100mi technical traverse across the alps on ice and snow. What are people packing?! :D
