Thank you. It really was a lovely experience 🎉

It looked cold in the tent. I hope you had decent sleeping bags with you. Even the teepee looked cold with Gemma putting on her gloves.

The temperatures did indeed become very chilly. I mistakenly took this sleeping bag which in typical September temperatures would have been ok: Sea to Summit Flame FmII Women's Regular Comfort 2 degrees, lower limit -4 degrees, extreme -21 C and a sleeping bag liner: Omm Core Liner. I wish I took this one instead for the sake of a bit more weight and space: Sea to Summit Flame FmIV Women's Regular Comfort -10 degrees, limit -17, extreme -38 degrees! Fortunately Gemma made a last minute swap and took my autumn sleeping bag: Sierra Designs Women Cloud 800 20 Degree Down Sleeping Bag Comfort Limit -3 with a Sea to Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme sleeping bag liner.

@@wildwanderwomen694 All great bags. It sounds like you have a sleeping collection like me. Different seasons, different bags. My wife thinks you need just one😂 I prefer to be too warm than cold. Bad sleep because of cold can ruin a trip

Cold nights.. At what time of year did you complete your TMB?

Hi, we began the hike on 5th September expecting the average temperatures for September. This weather we experienced according to the locals was unusually cold.
