Well, as the UK is Scotland, Wales, England and Northern Ireland you are in the minority up there and it is very hard for the majority.

Minority ?

We are an autonomus part of the Uk.

Anyway, you need to live and work up here, many options for outdoors north of the central belt.

And is that Kintyre your camping on ?

Nick

Appropriate eh?

That's where it's spent most of its life so far(that very spot). Outside of a night in Norfolk and a couple of meets it's been a Kintyre tent.

Bought one of these last year for my 5yr old nephew, blown away by the elegant and functional design. I'm a Product Design teacher , so kids love the vids. Very inpsirational for them.

Videos, especially the inspiration and Seconds>foldup clips.

I use a Lightwave T1 Trek XT for solo stuff. it's so light weight that I can easily carry a 2 person tent by myself, and I find that I like having the extended vestibule, especially with the wet weather we get in Ireland.

for the family stuff, I have a Vango TBS Equinox 450

Pics of the famous stove in action as well Wayland! KISS at it's best!

The only tent I have is this big boy!

Can barely lift it on my own so it's car camping and family only, if I'm out on my own I'll tarp it. All those lovely tipis look very tempting though.....

Cheers,

Eureka Timberline Outfitter 6, this is on a canoe trip up in Algonquin in August. Great tent, so quick and easy to pitch.

And this was the view the other direction,

This was taken last week, at just over 10,000ft with a storm approaching. Plastic tarp, para cord tent pegs and trekking poles. (Goretex bivvy bag and Danish issue dos bag)
