Somethings off, here's a photo straight off my phone. Bum bag next to purple Karrimor Alpiniste. It's a little bit bluer than the Karrimor purple.It's a very bright purple on my calibrated screen- probably a bit brighter than I remember the Karrimor purple TBH.
Does indeed look a bit bluer in comparison, on my screen.
Although it should be noted that purple is just about the hardest colour to get "right" i.e. Everyone to agree on. Something to do with the rods and cones, iirc. I used to participate in a "guess the ink" online quiz*, and quickly learned to never have any purples because of just this problem.
*My life has always been a whirlwind of excitement, as you can see.

Yes, on it's own it looks purple. Next to purple, it looks closer to blue, but my eyes are saying it's definitely a shade of purple rather than blue.
Bought a second one of this canteen. Fits the sidepockets of Kahakka 15 litre.
Canteen takes 2.4 litre. So 4.8 litre will be enough for 2 days if need be.
Pair of rollerblades, some 80’s disco on the Walkman and you’ll be looking good.I bought an Aiguille bum bag, a Vinted bargain. Often I've wondered if a bum bag could be useful for when out walking, especially for storing my mirrorless camera in, now I can try it out and see if I like it or not.
I tripped and fell into a Waterstones.
A Thermarest Neoloft sleeping mat. Seems like good quality, easy to inflate/deflate, comfortable and quite small/light. I’ll use it in a few weeks time.
Hours of his lectures are available on YouTube as well and I absolutely love his teaching style. Looking forward to the book!
I tried the bum bag out today, I actually really liked it, I don't think it's as conspicuous as I was concerned about, and it was comfortable, I even forgot I had it on getting back in to the car after the walk. Weather was a bit wet.Pair of rollerblades, some 80’s disco on the Walkman and you’ll be looking good.
It seems like it. I bought it IRL - a bricks & mortar shop called Taunton Leisure. They told me that the mat has a 3-year warranty and that they’ve never had any of the few claims for Thermarest rejected. I’ve been using an original self inflating Thermarest for 20+ years, and it’s still good, but now I’m older and fatter I need a bit more comfort.
