Great adventure! Had quite a change in weather as the video progressed. That was a beautiful blue sky early on. Like that tent. I guess I would be right with you getting a more subdued fly color. That is a bright one when you are inside with the sunlight shining through it. Beautiful vistas with peaceful relaxation is how I would describe this one. Thanks for taking us along. ATB.

I've just got the green fly! So that will be great for those brighter days. Orange does great in the winter on those dull, dreary days but when the sun shines it can be a bit bright. The use of space for such a tiny footprint is superb. Thank you for watching Denis.

Nice to be see you out up there. Looking relaxed. Good for the soul. I use trail shoes. The grip is amazing but ankle support compromised a bit. 🤏 You do the right thing putting the camping second. No question. No idea what’s happening with the weather. I had my big coat on my last camp. It’s crazy. Rain. Wind. Cloud. Cold. May as well be February man. Anyway. Loved the views in the morning. Makes it all worth it. Send : summer. Heat. MSR things. New sleep mat (dog proof) whislux wind rope and bat ears for parties. 🎉 👍 👍
@MCMOutdoors5 ай бұрын
Thanks mate. Agree re the trail shoes - grip on these was superb! Ankle support obviously non existent - if the terrain suits, no brainier. If a lot of scrambling etc, I'd say boots better. These were v comfy. Was nice to be out! Almost forgot how to pitch a tent! Send wig.

Never used one mate - to be fair, I never would. Mats do the job for me. I'd also be worried about piercing the groundsheet on the rock ground with the weight concentrated around the feet - maybe if I was camping in a lavvu / tipi style shelter with no floor, but never a tent - at least for me anyway.

Good to see you out mate... I was wondering about your Columbia footwear.. you didn't mention them . Are they trail running shoes? Are they waterproof?? Was them being lighter a huge step up ( no pun intended).. I have a few good pairs of boots , but have been thinking about going lighter. I don't like walking shoes .... So the trail runner seems like a better lighter option, but I hate having wet feet ( it's almost phobia kind of hate )... any advise????? Cheers mate .Take care out there.

One of the best views in the Northern Lakes (imo) from the summit kern and like you I have been up there numerous times and I find it a bit harder every time I climb it. Not the biggest tent I have seen you in but big enough and I am always happy in anything I can sit up in and when those showers cleared the views were amazing. Never easy watching England, which is why I gave up 25 years ago, far to bad for my blood pressure and never watched a game since. Real moody morning, gave it a mystic feel to wake up too and good to see you got no rain on those rocky descents, cheers Alan
