Dales Outdoor Weekend at Stanhope
- Thread starter Shewie
- Start date
Just got back. Small but a great atmosphere. Purchased a bit of kit from Alpkit and managed to have a good look at the most of the tents on display.
I didn't spot the Alpkit guys, where were they ?
I managed to test the Caldera cone I wanted with my pot before buying which was handy, could've spent a small fortune at the Ultralightoutdoors stand.
Managed to get Mr Townsend to sign my book for me whilst he was having a mooch about.
It was a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be but still a nice morning out.

They were around the back of the Dawes cycling tent. Those guys had an old Phoenix mountain tent that looked as new.
Mmmmm Terra Nova Ultra
I had a good look at this one but it's a lot of pennies for something that didn't feel very strong. I'll see how the reviews go over the next 12 months or so before committing, only just got a Laser Comp from Field & Trek last week for £160 so best not shell out just yet

To be honest i'd use a tarp rather than the ultra. Far to short for me to lie in comfortably. The material seemed pretty tough but the use of it for the floor of the inner is a concern.
