    Viking Village Meet - York - May 21st - 22nd 2016

    I'm going to have to drop out. My wife's two weeks overdue so there's no way I can make it up even for the day. I was convinced the baby would be early like my first child but this one doesn't want to come out. I've throughly enjoyed the research and kit making so hopefully I'll get another...

    2015 finland trip report

    Great Pics Riam and honest writeup Dave. My own head is often my biggest enemy on trips. I even need a couple of days to acclimatise on family holidays. I'm looking forward to picking everyone's heads at the next meet on lessons learnt, things that worked, things that didnt.

    What is in your medical/first aid kit, show and tell

    A lot of trail runners use Kinesio tape for blister prevention. The tape is porous, the glue heat activated and the tape can adhere for days. I have a roll but have not used it in anger yet.

    Keeping your hands warm in the extreme cold

    I use Dachstein mitts in the winter with a pair of goretex overmitts if I'm using my hands a lot. I find snow sticks to the gloves like velcro but the insulation is good as I never feel any damp coming through.

    Peak district campsites?

    There's a nice little site in Grindlow to the south of Edale. It's been a few years since I stayed there but they had a brazier for the use of campers. They might accommodate a woodburner. http://www.derbyshirehills.co.uk/

    O S Mapping for iPhone ? Which is the best value for money ?

    I use Motion-x which uses free OSM topographical maps and the Memory Map free app and download the OS topo tiles as and when I want them like BareThrills. I find myself using the Motion-x more often now in conjunction with 'Where's the path' for waypoints/routes creation and a paper map/compass.
