00:00I've massively overpacked. I've only walked through the airport and the bag is so heavy
00:05and I have two bags and I'm supposed to walk in 220 kilometers. I don't know what to do.
00:14Look at the size of it. Look at the size of it. How have I managed this? I saw the people doing
00:20it on TikTok and I thought yeah I can do that. I could pack lightly. No I can't.
00:30What do I do? I don't know what to take out. I'm already reduced.
00:39I'm gonna have to throw some stuff away. They're ridiculously heavy. I bet I'm carrying 20
00:45kilograms. I must be. Maybe when I get to Portugal I can buy a trolley and I can pull my stuff with
00:50me or hire a donkey. Seriously what am I gonna do? Right I've taken some stuff out.
00:56Trainers seem essential but they're gonna have to go. I'm just gonna do it in my Crocs.
01:02Pajamas gonna have to go. Summer dress is gonna have to go. That's all the clothes I have in
01:06there right. Clothes. Need that. Towel. Need socks and knickers. Need that. Tampons. Essential.
01:13Comped. Essential. Tissues. Essential. DP. I have a bad back. These feel essential because
01:20what if I have to poo outside? Like I have no idea what I'm getting myself into. They feel
01:24quite heavy. They're gonna have to go. I need my vitamins. I need my painkillers. I need my salt.
01:33Celtic salt. These are gonna have to go and I'll just buy them when I get there. I'm sat
01:38on the bathroom floor. What am I gonna do? It's too heavy. If I take these trousers off
01:46and put the other trousers on that should be easier. Oh dear.
