Met up with Al ( Bopdude) for a long awaited overnighter at weekend . Weather and opportunity conspired so we opted for a previously used site in a disssused Alum mine on the North Yorkshire Coast .
We had agreed a lightweight approach and I was keen to try out my sub 20lb load out ( basewight) which with added food , water , beer , wine and fuel was getting closer to 30lb ( but still lighter than previous loads)
All kit worked well but left me with a few tweaks to make ( I”ll be posting a couple of mini reviews in due course) . My biggest lesson was food and water , I need to have a think about simplifying rations and putting trust in my filtration kit !
Also need that balance between weight , functionality and comfort ! After all we’re not in the SAS !
Anyway here’s a few pics for now .....
