Chilling out at Comrie Croft

[Toddy]

HWMBLT got some beauties down the Clyde today too I love this Autumn light, a kind of blessing before the heavy grey short days really get weary.

Buy a white one and I'll help you dye it camo or camo celtic woodlandy

No reason why you couldn't have a green nylon bell tent. For the price there are Makers who'd make one as you wanted.

We used canvas ones with the Cubs ages ago, and they packed tidily into a holdall sized bag. The pole was the bugbear though, 4" wooden things with heavy steel collars. Lightweight metal ones would be just as effective and both lighter and less bulky in a boat I reckon.
Just an idea.

Good for you Interested to hear the negotiations

cheers,
M

I reckon the olive polycotton fabric such as Bisontelt use would make up into a reasonably compact bell tent.

Shewie, was Helsport flue collar heat insulated to stop damage to the tent?

 

[Corfe]

Love those pics. Going to show them to SWMBO to try and convince her that sleeping out doesn't have to be all muck and shivers.

Thanks Gray, it's a lovely part of the country and well worth a visit sometime

Lovely pictures, looks like you had a great time! I love comrie, tis where me and dreadhead first met!!

Sorry to hear about that Lol, only jesting

Shewie, was Helsport flue collar heat insulated to stop damage to the tent?

The collar is just a sleeve made from the same steel as the flue, I guess there's around a 30mm gap all the way round. The collar did get quite hot but never too hot that you couldn't touch it. The nylon or webbing straps showed no sign of melting which is good.

Love those pics. Going to show them to SWMBO to try and convince her that sleeping out doesn't have to be all muck and shivers.

Thanks mate

Great pics Rich, you are actually very good with your 'point and shoot'.

It looks like you had a fab time in lovely surroundings.

Nice write-up too, although your 'Laavu action' comment did induce a carry-on-camping style snigger

 

[huntersforge]

Quality pics there fella.
Lovely spot and a nice set up. Thanks for sharing

Cracking set up Rich ... lovely pics ,, cheers

 

[Grooveski]

Lovely stuff!
The Trossachs and roundabout really are pretty in the autumn, there's such a mix of tree types...

Cosy looking pad too.

 

[Harvestman]

That Ben Chomzie picture is stunning. I love it, amongst several excellent pictures.

Glad to hear I'm not the only disaster-prone camper about too!

 

[mark]

That looks great and a nice kit setup there, must go to Comrie at some point as it's not too far away. I've got a Green Outdoors Tipi 6 that I need to try out at some point along with a wood burning stove, just need a shield to get the chimney through the vent at the top.

Looks like a great time time mate, wonderful place to camp out

Sorry about the stove accident, I did the same thing with a down sleeping bag a few years back. All it took was one quick wipe against the stove and here were feathers everywhere .

Great result with the free repair top service from that company

 

[lannyman8]

Rich, nice trip mate, one question though, what was the little stove you used for your brew, where is it from etc etc...

thanks mate.
