Good review mate, I will be looking for a good quality lightweight down jacket for the Swiss Alps next summer, this could be the one ☝️ I will definitely check it out ATB Mark & Simon 👍

@@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors thanks guys, still got you in mind for a camp over winter perhaps in Wales? It’s been a good jacket, being Rab it’s on the premium side of things but just thought I’d review it as had it a while. I saw the solo sumiteer guy using it so that’s what made me get it.

The land slip you mentioned near the tunnel was I think the first nail in the coffin for the railway as they had to start running a shuttle service. Did you know that you can’t now walk from the bridge to the tunnel as the wildlife trust has closed it permanently citing “ash dieback”. Seems a shame as it was a nice walk and a chainsaw could probably make it safer again.

I’d recommend the upgraded versions of these that have recently been released. I wouldn’t say they are 100% waterproof but pretty much especially if you get a pair of sealskinz waterproof socks. The Olympus 5 from Altra hiking boots have a goretex membrane and so are waterproof. Check out northern runner in the UK who sell them and who I buy them from. Altra are a wide fit with a wide toebox area.

Another interesting video. Thanks. I was thinking of combining a camper trip with walking in Scotland somewhere. Find a rural pub car park to stay at for a night. Leave the camper in the car park, take a tent and go off on a hike for a night. Come back, pick up the camper and move 30 miles or so to the next destination. Repeat. Obviously map out a list of pubs with interesting walks or trails nearby. I've not seen any other creators do this type of video.
