You've done some additional mods that I haven't seen yet. Impressive. I'm sorry to see the corner mods didn't work out because the stickers wouldn't hold. That seems like such a good mod. I'm wondering how others are fairing that tried the same mod?

It looks pretty good but the inner looks awfully close to the flysheet with no points to guy the flysheet out further. How have people faired with rain and win in it?

You’re right about that route up to the tarns. It’s evil. I went that way last time I did Baugh fell. I’m pretty sure the g is silent. My mum was born in Sedbergh (the g is also silent as per local lingo). I think the best way up that hill is via the Dowbiggin area and the handrail the wall up to the summit. Interesting plant fossils up there. Nice one.

Hiya. Fantastic mod on your tent which I have copied on my cloud peak 2. A bit tricky at first but very pleased with the results. Seam sealed it today and tested with a power wash. No leaks at all. Maybe you should patent it and get all the royalties. If I ever bump into you I’ll buy you a pint..

Hello! How has the pack performed? Im thinking about buying it for May-September use in Central European conditions, so it would be pretty light. One thing Ive noticed is that a lot of people complain about the side pockets being unusuable when full, but side pockets are the place where I would store 2l of water so im curious how you went about that.

Great video ...i do pretty much the same but put the hand warmer in my trail shoe or mid under the gas cartridge after i have wiped the condensation off...i dont like faffing about with alcohol stoves and by the time you have added a windshield a jet lighter plus a heat proof cloth to protect your footprint theres not much weight difference or advantage to justify not taking a gas stove plus you dont have to wait for ages or expose yourself to more tent fire risk...Gas is number one in my opinion.
