I've not used them, but have have had a good look at some. I really like the oval shape, seems like they'll keep out of your knees way better. possibly a little smaller than the alpkit or revelate equivalent though?

Yeah, just having a play raiding my work desk for stuff to load them with . I don't think you'd get a 650ml mug in there. Not seen a Revelate to compare. The closure system appears to work OK.

Getting ready for the next few weeks of fun...

Fresh Wooleators, Ortlieb 4L waist pack to replace my dying Batpack6, RAB silk bag liner (I've wanted one of these for too long), fresh Ti pegs (some spare, but 2 for the existing set for head/foot tieouts), C2C bag and some chow from BC Food. Good haul.

Silk liner for my sleeping bag.

But no siltarp yet, hmm....

Appear for a member of this Parish...

Two very big boxes containg this years WRT T shirts ... might be handy for those challenged by navigation.

Awww yiss, I'm gonna get faaaaaat.

A rear mudguard for the Solaris; some spare SPD cleats and some DMR clamps for bottle cage.

The wife saw this in a shop in Braunton but didn't buy it whilst we were there. So on getting home she had to track down the shop and get them to post it. It's a suprise present for completing my first event. It's the OS map of the area around Braunton

Very cool.

A downtube bag from BeerBabe. Will hold pump, spares and tools.

I've just seen this over there... and keen to get a quilt ordered.
Can I be cheeky and ask how much, and how long a wait?

ok so was about £145 whitch is verry reasonable for an 860fp quilt. should have taken 2 weeks but scotty tripped over a cable and damaged one , so took about 3 and a bit weeks in the end.

A cuben fibre tarp from Trekkertent with some customisations. Will finally get to use Stu's carbon fibre poles and pegs

Hope you enjoy the TT tarp 'stone. Obtained same one a while ago - went for 9 x 7. It's crazy light isn't it? But quite different to pitch compared to nylon as I'm sure you know! In V or cave shapes I use couple of extra lines (whilst hoping I'm not negating the cuben weight saving ) compared to nylon to get everything twangy tight.

This one's 8x5 which will be big enough for me. Had extra lifters added similar to the Alpkit tarps (carefully avoiding swear filter here ), also had a couple of internal attachment points added, partly to attach a lifter from the bivy bag to keep that off my face and partly for an idea I have that may or may not work.

Not had a cuben fibre tarp before so there'll need to be some testing in the garden before I use it in anger.

Yeah, cuben's cetainly different to sil' when it comes to pitching due to it have no 'natural give' but a bit of practice soon sorts it out.

Great minds - yes I had more lifters too. 9 x 7 is a bit OTT but I need space for the woodburning stove and cocktail cabinet y'see.

I've a hmg dyneema tarp 8'6" x 8'6" and took a few attempts at taught pitch after the siltarp but all good now and so versatile. You'll love the fact you can shake the water off it and pack it virtuality dry.

The beef Stroganoff is very tasty
Have one with me for WRT

That's made one of my two meal choices for me then. :)

Damned signed for parcels...makes my WRT a lite one this year...but the haul continues...

DHB arm/knee UV shades, Humvee Lite shorts with liner, Muc Off HD chain lube (might just be a convert on this stuff from Dumonde Tech) and some fresh Giro mitts to replace my dying pair...too much ventilation is a thing, ya know. Looking forward to getting it all grubby this evening/tomorrow and in the dust in España.

Warranty replacement pair of sweet mudride shorts. The first ones started delaminating after after two winters of really hard use.
