Loch Mullardoch, Scotland - Spring 2008 I thought I'd post my first trip report, albeit one that we did 6 months ago. We planned a 3 day/2 night winter condition circuit of Loch Mullardoch, with mostly lightweight gear, and had qu... |

Pyrenees 2008 Thanks, I'll have a look - not that I need another tent - but since when has that stopped me....! |

Pyrenees 2008 Slack Sunday's are great! Is the hex still made? - it looks good. |

Pyrenees 2008 Lovely pictures! You had some great camping locations. Did you carry 8 days' worth of food or did you have re-supply stops? And a geeky question - what is your tent? I don't recognise... |

Gatewood as Rainwear Ah, well I must say I wouldn't even try it as rainwear this trip! It was very windy and just not the right gear if I wanted to stay dry; also we move fairly quickly and under a tarp I'd ha... |

Gossamer Gear I ordered a product from GG (and I live in the UK) and it arrived quickly but unfortunately it broke on the first use; I sent Grant an email and a photo and without question he sent a replacement - wh... |

Stephenson 2R ... but then what tent is?! I have the 2R version with windows, and find this tent roomy and very stable; we camped at a high level (for the UK!) on a mountain side in Scotland and the tent was a s... |

Antigravity Gear .4 oz pepsi style alcohol stove This is one of my favourite pieces of gear: cheap, light, functional, and just plain pleasing. I intend buying a few for mates for birthday presents as these aren't very common in the UK, and the... |

Montbell UL Down Inner Jacket This is the perfect jacket for so many conditions and places. With layering I wore it as my main warm wear whilst camping at 700m in winter on a col in Scotland, in snow and winds; it's also ... |

Hilleberg Rajd I managed to pick up a damaged Rajd (cheap!) in the States last year, and it's been in my cupboard until this weekend, sad to say. I took the tent as we were running in a two day mountain marat... |
