Tarp wars; Attack of the Monk Clones

[Toddy]

Pretty sure the head net won't cut it Pete Beaton's jacket's the way to go if you're really, really doing light but still want to be able to walk around too.
Anything else is suicide in some of those boggy areas Pray for sunshine and wind.

I can only echo the above, very nice work.

Lovely job.

Thanks mate.

I've just bought the SMD Serenity net in the classifieds, not sure it'll work in the Trailstar but should work a treat in the DuoMid. That along with Wilmas, Avon SSS and a Beaton jacket I should be good to go, maybe some thin running/liner gloves too.

I've got this one too, but it's going to need some work on the net ..

Bring on the midges

Yeah, thats what I'm planning for the bug net. A pyramid with enough room to sit up and get changed fixed onto a bathtub groundsheet.

Great job there !

The mosquito smiley did it for me, reminded me of a day in Loch Carron. Beatons jacket on the pack list.

Thanks Matt. Yep, a lightweight as possible CWT attempt in a few months. Planning on a bivvy + micro tarp. This monk doesn't perform like my others with more panels pulls though in the wind, it's getting modded.

Thanks Andy. The running gloves are for stopping blisters from the pogo sticks were gonna use to do the crossing. Didn't you get the memo?

 

[scrogger]

I don't have a pogo stick but can borrow a nice bright orange space hopper ! It would double as a pillow.;-)

Genius! Double use. I wonder if I could fill one with a good malt and roll it to the cape....
