Trough Of Bowland, testing out some bits and bibs for the winter:

Hi Phil. Brilliant video mate. I live in Blackpool and went up in to the forest of Bowland for the first time a couple of months ago. Made me realise what I’d been missing. Need to spend more time exploring the area.

Nice night out and yes I think I’m stuck in a rut with the coffin tents there the only ones I’ve ever had a bigger tent dies look nice. 🍺

[@PhilAldridge49]

Im away with work til end of month, them hope to have a day or two exploring more places there - any recommendations?

[@PhilAldridge49]

Ever fancy abwild camp let me know

Great video. Have you thought about the durston x mid for a summer tent? I got the 2p and I love it, did think about 1p to save more weight but like you I’ve had enough of being in coffin like tents. By the way could I ask what the boots/shoes you were wearing? I wear trail runners and can’t bare the thought of going back to heavy boots but want something a little warmer for winter.

Hiya using Hoka GTX, like you I use Trail shoes but got these for the winter

[@PhilAldridge49]

Cheers for the tip have just bought the durston 2 - one with solid wall

[@stewartgregson8479]

Hope you enjoy it I love it, the solid wall is the right choice for our changeable conditions. I’ve made a ground sheet out of polycro which work ok but you may want to consider getting a ground sheet.
