Bog traversing and river crossing without a care, then putting Sealskinz on at camp.

Ah I see. Feet were drenched even though the Inov8 TrailRoc's are supposed to be waterproof. Didnt go over my ankles so the so-called waterproofness must be BS. They were comfortable though. I do wish I had worn the sealskinz first day however.

Jumping on to your comment on not finding a waterproof that can hold up in rain and hard work; have you thought about the Paramo range of jackets?

Hey Jack, I've never tried Paramo stuff. I have done some research into into it and it always seems to be a real marmite type of gear. The frequent reproofing doesn't bother me though so maybe it would be a winner.

Looks like a good trip and congrats on the 5 weeks :)

Hey thanks! Not really noticed any great leaps in my fitness from giving up but I did find I'd recover more quickly after the steep spots.

My kind of pace boys, when we going out :D

Haha anytime :D.

With ya there thrillsey!!

My kind of pace too!!

Kit, how did you find that fire maple stove mate? Is it the titanium one from China?

Been looking at something similar on alibaba.

Great report chaps!!

Cheers mate :).
I got the stove second hand from eBay a couple of years a go. Although after a bit of searching I think its this one as it has a preheater like mine. Its not Ti at any rate.

Interesting report, thanks for sharing. It's a beautiful area. Bad luck with the weather, it'd been lovely round there the weekend before. Mind, the weekend before that it ****ed it down.

Congrats on the 5 weeks too. Keep it up, it gets easier as time goes on.
