For beginners who arent sure yet how much gear theyll need to carry, starting here and upgrading later is a perfectly reasonable approach
If Im carrying it, I put my tripod (I LOVE Peak Designs Travel Tripod for its compactness) in my water bottle pocket
The last named was the largest vessel so far employed in cross-channel traffic
I go out at least once if not twice a week in my kayak for a few hours
On the sides, it also has some quick access pockets where you can store cables, keys, or objects that you need to access easily
Adding to the physical beauty of it all, the hiking route is fantastically well-organized with designated camp / hut sites that boast gorgeous views of the national park, the trekking season is long, and wonderful local guides are available
