Rough Close Meet ~ January 2012

[decorum]

... i was starting to worry no one fancied it this year ...

I'd purposely held off from confirming in thread that I was up for it :sad6: .

where did you pick up the pup tent from? looks like i could have a use for one

I've had it for years. The fabric is more than slightly weird ~ the two sides have a sort of magnetic velcro attraction to each other and to themselves as well .
If I'm honest, it's not the best choice I've ever made and I really should modify it into something more useful ~ a canvas pup would probably be a better, if heavier, choice.

been searching for pup to no success but all in good time i suspect

Remind me just prior to the March Meet and I'll bung it in the boot for you to have a play with (and see whether you can cope with the madding attraction of the fabric) ~ I 'lost' the poles some years back but replacements should be easily fabricated.
As a tent it's cheap and cheerful. It's dark all day inside and buttoning the door up from the inside is irksome.

Glad you all had a great time - planning to be there for first part of March meet

I love that first pic of the hurricane lantern! Thanks for sharing, looks like it was a good one!

Glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves (as if there was really any doubt). Family stuff kept me away this time but hope to see you in March.

As SPOT tracking was being discussed for the Arctic trip this THE ALPKIT SPOT page might be interesting? The track just went straight across Elephant Lake :Wow:
