What size backpack?

jamesbil

Hi all,
Planning on a multi-day walk on the Cornish coast next year, nothing serious max 5 hrs a day for 3 or 4 days and staying in B&B's.

Trying to pick up some gear in the sales.
What size backpack should I get? We will fly, bus to start and bus from finish so have to take the bare minimum really.
Thinking 40L each should be enough for the basics.

What do the experienced walkers think?

Thanks

30 - 35L would be plenty, 40 is probably overkill.

Thanks, looking at these 2.

At that price range you could do worse than to look in the Mountain Warehouse shop on O'Connell Street, if you live in Dublin. They can sort you out for a "membership" that will get you copious discounts on a lot of their lines.
