Ten Things I Can Carry Around in my Glorified Lunch Bag/Map Cover That B—— so Sweetly Gave Me Tonight.

* Other than a map that is.
** Disclaimer: I am not a ungrateful git! The 'glorified lunch bag comment' was pilfered from the giver: a B——ism.

1. A picture of what a Beatnik is supposed to look like so that the weird costume I am wearing while hiking is placed in context.
2. Perhaps also a sign to say that I am on a 'Beatnik Bifurcating Britain with a Beaver' tour—just to ensure it all makes perfect sense to anyone who sees me in that attire, with that stuffed toy, on top of a lonely Welsh mountain, and is set to wondering.
3. Maybe a sign that says: 'Charlston Goch. Darkest Australia. Please look after this Beatnik. Thank You.'
4. A Lunch Order. Like you used to get at school: ham sandwich, chocolate milk, liquorice strap, apple—$1.75. Maybe just my lunch: ham sandwich, strawberry milk, liquorice strap, dried apple.
5. Ginsberg's 'Howl', or  Whitman's "Song of Myself' or 'Song of the Open Road' to learn on the long, long walks, and howl or sing to the creatures on the sides—the open road makes one a little strange.
6. A hitchhiking sign that says 'Irregular Choice and Bust'. Possibly only towards the end of the hike though, when I am through with paying for B&B's.
7. Note to self: The compass works upside down here—don't forget to go the other way.
8. Breadcrumbs. In case I lose the note from number seven and have to find my way back again. Oh, no, it was pebbles wasn't it? The birds ate the breadcrumbs, and then the witch ... make it pebbles.
9. An English-Welsh dictionary.
10. My LEJOG paperwork so I can remember to get it stamped everynight this time. No one is ever going to believe I walked all the way if I don't have the certificate to prove it.
