Nice on the second part, Matt. The Red Deer antler shed your mate found is sweet! Looking forward to more parts.

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
So you carry waterproof trousers as well? My last trip was solo but I randomly camped with others, so wore baselayer bottoms when I finished for the day, but put on montane atomic pants over the top in the evening
Only problem there is if it rains i get my PJ's wet, be that from the WP trousers or sweat.
I'm not one for luxuries when hiking/camping but i do like a completely separate set of dry clothes to sleep in or if it's dry to lounge around camp in.
Trying to find a local shop that stocks Patagonia kit as their Capilene 4 bottoms seem to be pretty good for 161g.
Quick drying as well according to the tests i've read so they might work with the WP bottoms as you suggested.
Thanks, I really enjoyed that.
Just 2 things, hurry up with the next one, and get the hair cut
Lovely, simply lovely report
Smashing report! Really enjoyable!
Nice Video.
Many thanks, much appreciated
...Biggest dilemma i have is camp clothes.
I've got some nice lightweight leggings but they're not really much more than (near on) see-through wool tights great weight wise at 119g, if i'm wild camping i'd wear them without a care in the world.
If i'm at a campsite though or popping into a pub for a meal i think i might scare the neighbours/other dinners being a grown bottom bloke in tights, i know i'm from Nottm but Robin Hood is no excuse
So i pack my Ronhills as camp bottoms/PJ's but they're 326g
What did you wear around camp and as PJ's please?
I took some thermal leggings to wear at camp and to sleep in however due to the warm weather I didn't end up sleeping in them. On the couple of hostel stops we had I tried to give everything a bit of a wash, as such I wore either just my waterproof trousers or both those and the leggings whilst my trousers were drying. I don't like walking in sealskins but take a pair to use around camp so don't have to have soggy feet all evening.
Pah! It's not a proper crossing unless you have at least 5 days and nights of continuous rain lol!!
Why is it, that when I'm NOT on it, everyone comes back with a suntan
Completely different from my videos from last year. I almost miss it.
I've watched your TGO vid a fair few times and was expecting my crossing to be similar, with the weather being so good this time around I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do another as it'll never be as good again!
Thanks for the update.
Thank you
Awesome vids mate
Cheers mate. Looking forward to hearing how you get on with your new MLD goodies
Thanks, Peter found the antler, intact he found 2 really good ones within the space of 5 minutes!
Thank you, hopefully have part 3 and 4 up next week
Many thanks
Looking forward to trying them bud. May do a packing video prior to trip
Was hoping to get out this weekend but feel a bit crap so going to leave it and maybe go out mid-week unless I feel worse. Borah Bivi may be here by then as well. I'll get all gear ready to pack and as soon as I feel better/weather is good I'll be straight out the door!

Great stuff Matt. Love watching these vids as it tides me over until I manage to get out. Took 8 weeks to get my TS and now it's here something keep delaying me from getting out, health, weather, commitments, finance. I will succeed!
Thanks for sharing, looking forward to part 4

Hi Gordon, I'm still new to Youtube etc and head to fully get my head round how it all works re the music used etc, once I've done part 4 I'll put up a separate part 3 that hopefully doesn't get blocked in some places

There's always something trying to stop us getting out isn't there, stick with it
Another good one.

Thanks Matt that was very kind to re-post part 3. I viewed Part 4 earlier today and it played just fine. Thanks for sharing your 2014 TGO Challenge with us. I hope that 20 years from now you look back on your video production and cherish the good times you and your mates had on the crossing. Job well done!
