Some people on the forum have claimed it back so you could try the form with HMRC. I’m looking forward to mine, did you get the standard pole length? I went short pole for bikepacking and ease of packing into my dry bags.

Imagine that….

Fantastic. I’m looking forward to the population increasing enough in the New Forest that sighting like that become commonplace.

You can try and fill out a form with HMRC to claim it back but strictly speaking the tent originated from Canada but was not manufactured or even assembled in Canada.

Thanks. It’s a never ending subject and takes you off into many directions, tangents and quite literal rabbit holes. The evaluations highlight strengths and areas to improve on where you have adequate knowledge but not the depth required to score a bit higher or if something obscure come...

I’ve not done it for years. Lots locally have been abandoned which is a shame.

Like the sound of that.

I’ve used it a few times now. Works well and comes out the car easily. Just put it pack in last night ready for some trips next couple of months.

Very positive review. I’ve ordered a solid inner one for June dispatch. I like ‘Durston’ whom has been very proactive on several forums and dealt some pole issues very well. Excited to try mine out in the late summer.

Cheers. It was tough one. Track and sign evaluation in two weeks.

I just completed a Cyber Tracker trailing evaluation. Very different from the track and sign evaluation because you don’t get any feedback back until the debrief at the very end, when they give you your score, and the certificate. Each candidate finds a trail and continues it until it ends, runs...
