Great tripreport!

I do think that using a pulk in these conditions was a bit optimistic though. Maybe too little snow under the bough?

Excellent pics guys, looks like a great trip. You've got me thinking I need to get a Puppy Pulk, at last Ciara could be useful then and she's going to love all your new down stuff Rich :D

It turned out to be okay in the Landrover tracks, progress was quite good really. I imagine the pulks will be harder work in deeper snow but we'll see soon.

Oooh, how i miss Scotland when i see this. Brilliant trip, looks like. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks jorn, it was a great trip

Ooh puppy pulk, now there's a good idea. I can imagine you'll have to pull it for her though mate, I can just see the look on her face when you shout mush mush. As long as she wipes her feet she's welcome in my hammock :)

Looks great! Love the idea of the snowy camp!

Not quite as much snow as we'd have liked but it was great to be out in the cold again.

250 EUR for that Klattermusens... uuffff:)

Nice kegs though :)

I tried a pair on in Aviemore. They are, without doubt the nicest trousers I have ever tried on.

Cheers for the pics Rich, got me missing it again already.

I can tell your feet are itching Rich, won't be long now :)

Lol, that's just a mesh pocket on the outside, handy for loads of little stuff meaning I can cram the main compartment with toasty down goodies :)

Looks like a great weekend guys.Did you log your trip to Google maps? Does anyone here do that? Now for a little forum search :D

Not this time Craeg, I use it sometimes for planning though, especially on the longer canoe trips

:rofl: Not as flat as it looks then ~ more a pregnant 'kit bump' :rofl: . For a moment there I thought someone was doing a top loader with an almost clear silnylon front to aid quick location of 'stuff'* :rolleyes: .


* Because, as we all know, 'stuff' seems to end up being not where you remember putting it :eek:
