Disappointingly, I haven't managed anything even approximating a wild camp this season, but recently returned from another foray exploring the Broads by canoe. My lightweight base camp setup is getting a bit stupid...………. :eek: (The lavvu has grown!)

You're not wrong.............. :fedup:

..Still someone apart from me was happy for a few days and was good company in the canoe over 4 days.....knocking off 10-15 miles a day, and using the beloved Army Trangia for lunch stops and brew up en route....
In truth the beige tarp was an extra I had (10T and polycotton, natch) and I just wanted to try.....probably use with the Fairbanks?
 
LoL, thats proper camping mate, sod the UL brigade living on protein bars and energy drinks...real campers need a fried brekkie, tea, curry at night etc, proper grub. Let them sit on their arse's eating dehydrated meals...thats bloody uncouth IMHO, cot bed, table, chairs and good lighting are whats needed.

I must admit, I loved doing the challenges of multi day Muno bashing in the past, living off that stuff. That was a while ago and I just don't have the drive to push myself like that any more and while I still enjoy a day or twos hill walking, I prefer to take a few comforts these days, like wine, decent scran etc. I'm happy enough to have a 'lazy' wild camp too with a shorter, heavier laden walk in too and as I get older

I guess I'll be doing less 'big' walks as I get older, its whatever works for you.
 
I'm away 26th camping with some amigos and fully expect to fill the motor to busting point. My new 'mobile' ham rig needs a Sherpa and his mate to carry it :oopsy:
