Very good!!

A bathtub style ground sheet!!

So which are you ending up taking then Paul - is it the Golite 5, or the Seekoutside 6-man?

Seek and Stove are packed Andy. Ive made a spark arrestor for the top of the flue too. The golite is now going with Steve as his tarp with doors is stuck in Leeds

 

[Andy BB]

THe Golite is probably lighter than his tarp with doors!

Yea not much in it. 1200g for outer and pole

Yes mate, they are max temps. The same site has Tallinn at around -7 to -9, so out of urban warming and inland that ties in well. YR.NO and EMHI use similar data anyway.

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

Well after 15 pages of ramblings its finally here. This last week has gone soooo slowly.

Thanks to everyone who contributed ideas and suggestions and all those who have gone before selling the dream.

Special thanks to Jaan for taking the time to answer questions and providing a wealth of information that will undoubtedly make our trip easier. I really hope you are well enough to come out and see us.

Let the good times roll.

 

[Jaan]

Looking good guys!

Hope you have an amazing time here and can try out a bit of cold weather for future trips further up north. Even though in December and January you can enjoy -25 nights here too.

This is by far a record year for number of days with snow cover so enjoy it!

And I'll see you on Saturday!

 

[Paul72]

Have a good trip, we expect lots of pics when you return!

 

[bopdude]
