Yeah, 60L is big big. Depends how light you wanna go. Personally I take no change of clothes lol, just one spare pair of socks and one spare pair of underwear. Wash the day you're not using them, hang on the outside of your pack to dry them.
Seems big considering you're taking no camping equipment, but like I say, doesn't sound like you're trying to go particularly light lols

Solid advice, thank you. I also spoke to my sister who is a mountain leader who said 60L is stupid, get a mid-40 and pack better. Which is a fair comment but I hate washing clothes on a trip as it eats into my cider and pizza time.
@JB We’re walking the South Downs Way ~ 5 x 20 mile days, just carrying clothes, maps, lunch, 3L water, chargers and wash bag and the usual miscellaneous crap like head torch, first aid kit, etc. Waterproofs, down jacket and beanie obvs. My sister told me to take two changes of clothes and that if the weather is bad you should only be carrying your toothbrush in your backpack. I didn’t have the heart to tell her I took seven pairs of hiking socks last time.
Anyway, I’m gonna pop to GoOutdoors and check out the Osprey Kestral as a contender.
