Re: The post man's been ...

From alpkit a koala a myti 650 and a numo mat
And from bearbones shop a 22g stove shield and cozy
Add this to the bar and frame bags from teetosugars last week and I'm just about set up, I think there is gonna be a thread soon no doubt just checking what you lot take with you when you go but all in all Bar my fitness illness and injury I'm just about set to go

An Intergral Designs Solo Ground Cloth. Going to try a slightly different set up using that and my "TrailStar" to be a bit more acommodating when it's persisting it down.

Update on the van
Easy come easy go....
I won't be picking this up at the weekend for several reasons to long to go into.
Hopefully a tax rebate that I think I'm due in the next few months will fund a similar if slightly smaller van.

I have needed to remind a few friends who have recently bought huge camper vans and park up in remote laybys....
With all respect that's not wild camping, just free camping.....

1:50k os map sd card arrived today, which works in my garmin 800 that I thought was water damaged. Waiting to see if it works in the new etrex and the replacement garmin 810. Need to sell some of this crap I think!
Etrex is just doing a little 4 hour update of the built in maps....
