One of my oldest and most reliable bits of backpacking kit.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-52420615064252588652015-06-17T22:14:53.066+01:002015-06-17T22:14:53.066+01:00Mmm i must take a look at that.Mmm i must take a look at that.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-87395221011502536482015-06-17T21:28:28.187+01:002015-06-17T21:28:28.187+01:00Conrad - camped next to a cattle grid and near a f...Conrad - camped next to a cattle grid and near a farm - what could I expect. It was fine though, lovely flat grass and no complaint from the farmer.<br /><br />Alan - I bought an MSR stove for our HRP trip in 2004 that fits both Camping Gas (non piercing variety) and our screw in cylinders. It's the only stove I've used since then and it often has to deal with both types of canister. The giant canister does however render my windshield useless. Luckily there's no wind!Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-20268488685284472652015-06-17T13:16:00.004+01:002015-06-17T13:16:00.004+01:00Jolly good - raining here too.

Seems that your Spanish vocabulary is in ascendancy.

You spend a couple of hours ascending and, feeling proud that you think you have "gone high", you emerge onto a plateau where cows are grazing and everything is embarrassingly domesticated.<br /><br />Good to see you have made a start. I can feel the weight of that rucksack from my comfortable study here in Arnside.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.com
