Boggan is undergoing some changes, I'm going to have to do as you've done Dave, the thwarts aren't cutting it so I'm having to and the pop riveted webbing, what hooks did you end up with, I'm going with the same ones LOTN use, the G hook. Tick tock tick tock, times a drawing closer :)

What are people doing on the night before, morning of travel, I know Dave has booked into digs at the airport, I'm looking at getting the coach down late night early morning of the day of travel, what about the rest ? Also, group meals need talking about, sorting out, plan to cook two group meals in the bush each, slight overlap but that means extra rations, can't be a bad thing, thoughts ?

Good question, I'm really struggling with the bags I have, I need bigger bags and maybe a third, then a fourth for food once we get there, Dave, how the hell do you pack lol

I managed to get all my stuff in 2 bags appart from my Twodogs coat which i will wear (when its been made) my smock and wool trousers which will fit in fine. I just need to fit in my toboggan and dried food meals hence the third bag. Which i need to buy still. Might get a north face dry holdall with wheels for transporting.

My Swedish army wool trousers. Washed and treated with nikwax stuff to proof them a bit. Could do with leather knee patches to stop the knees getting wet though.
