I'm in Simon & the gang! We've been up in Ardnamurchan, Western most peninsula of the UK, in Scotland & the weather is so changeable, so here's hoping we're in for a great week of canoe weather. Break a leg. Best wishes to all over you. Karen & JC

Nice one Simon, looking forward to the videos of the trip when you get back. I`ve just bought the same UL140 Mat, in fact I was out last night and I was very impressed with it had a pretty decent nights sleep. I also have the mini pump, great piece of kit. I also have the Osmo Action, a very nice piece of kit ! Have a great trip Pal !

I don’t know about a one man tent 🤔 I have a two man tent and sometimes it’s just big enough. But we go for two weeks and paddle 200 miles or more on rivers and Great Lakes. Most cooking done on open fires and eating fish and boiling pasta noodles and snack on trail mix. And we all lost at least 25 lbs . And we all had bear spray. 😅
