2 Nights on Dartmoor

[WildWood1965]

Thanks to @1 shot willie for the pasty's and @divebuddy for the cake

Had a great afternoon and night test driving the new tent with the woodburning stove ...this is going to be a game changer on the trips north

thanks to @gavin for the laughs ... had a good night out looking forward to the next one

Glad you had a good time chaps !

 

[lol]

Thanks for the photos, those tents with a stove certainly make winter camping less of a drama.

@Matt .... @gavin .....@Divebuddy

Thanks all for the laughs and a smashing overnighter at a pretty awesome location.
So many opportunities there.......perfect with the woods....stream....... and some fairly level fields to pitch on
Shooting wise it looks VERY promising.

It was good to see Matt and Gavin set up and fine tune their Hot Tent set ups.
They were like a couple of Old Brasses in a steam room......Bayches

Thank you Dick for the lovely caaaaaaaaake.....and please pass on our thanks to "Jiff"
for baking it

Dick (Divebuddy) chose his tent this time around with a tarp added for admin....he was sorted

It was the first time I had used the Bungalow 2 in anger.....I was not disappointed with it......NO LEAKS
A few tweaks I need to make but nothing to major.
Spent a comfortable night in there on the camp bed and using the Tactical 4 sleeping bag which was ideal.
I only battened down three quarters of the way down with the canopy.....with the fine mesh screen zipped up.....it gave me plenty of ventilation and NO condensation inside the shelter......and still plenty of protection from the wind and rain.
The mesh screen acts as a decent draught excluder.....very comfy.
Lots of room to stash the kit.

Very pleased with everything I used on this trip.

@WildWood1965 missed you on this one....hope to see you on the next one

Thanks again Guys.....great company and trip

Pictures to follow.

Looks like you guys had a good time, you're putting the Northern Chapter to shame (standfast Paul), I still need to get my meagre haul of phots up. Glad it all went to plan.

The Bungalow looks the bizz and it's good to read your favourable report, Willie. Hoping I get a chance to use mine before too long.

Great time. Just cut a bit short by the weather. Got left behind by the others as usual. They were driving out of the field as I was starting to take my tent down. Nice site. Thanks to the usual suspects for the banter an pasties. I missed Kneef. Had to brew my own tea! Few pics off my phone.

 

[lol]

My excitement would know no bounds if those were cotton tents....imagine....

 

[Peatburner]
