36L Hybrid DCF Pack

I've been sewing again...

Winter camp on Blencathra

Due to the death of my car alternator what had been planned as a four day loop of the Northern Fells turned in to an overnight wander and camp centred around Blencathra and its neighbouring fells.

MYOG Cuben Fiber Shelter

Given I already own the finest cuben fiber shelter ever made ;-) I guess the biggest question might be 'why?', but I've always wanted to have a go at a MYOG shaped tarp/mid type shelter so here goes...

First Wander and Camp of 2016

Over the weekend of 9/10th January I managed to get over to the Lake District for my first wander and camp of the new year. The forecast was a little iffy but I don't get many weekends free to meet up with Peter and Lee so after looking at every available forecast we decided to go for it.

First Look - Tramplite Shelter

In December 2014 I received my custom cuben fiber shelter hand made in the U.K. by Colin Ibbotson, aka Tramplite.

SoloMid Door Mod

I really like the SoloMid, pitched nice and tight it's proved itself in a stiff breeze and I've found it large enough if I keep myself organised. One thing I've felt it's missing though is a tieback for the panel to the left of the door, so I decided to add my own...

MYOG Cuben Hybrid Pack Lid

I recently made a pack lid using Hybrid Cuben Fiber, it's the first time I've used the fabric for a MYOG project and I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out so I thought I'd share a few photo's of the finished item.

Pitching the MLD SoloMid

I've just got back from a couple of days wandering around the Northern Fells of the Lake District. I took some footage on the GoPro so I'll post a bit of a trip report and video over the next week or so but for now I thought I'd post a little pitching video for the MLD SoloMid...

Back to the Lakes

With couple of days off from work last week I jumped at the opportunity to nip to the Lake District for a camp and a bit of a wander.

Quick look - MLD DuoMid

A couple of weeks ago I took delivery of a MLD DuoMid in Cuben Fiber, It's the first shelter I've owned which is made from Cuben so I was pretty excited about receiving it. As soon as it arrived I was straight out in to the garden to try it out.
