@JJocys Somewhat stronger poles than the Sea to Summit tent, though....this year I are mostly in a Laser Comp

Almost ready for the 2023 TGO challenge - 18th crossing, should I manage to cross... - pack packed (heavy) pics from last year featuring JJ's tent - mine broke at Dornie in a bit of a wind... 3 days of wet then it was OK...

Crook and Weardale Ramblers 50th anniversary walk from Grasmere to Patterdale. Weather didn't play nicely. Mixed and matched low and high level walks

A few from Saturday’s walk around the Coledale Horseshoe from Braithwaite. 11 miles, 8 Wainwrights - a fabulous day! 😊

Last time I looked at the tellybox there was a bloke being transported around Thatlondon in what appeared to be a cake. Last time I have G&T's in the afternoon.....

Crook and Weardale Ramblers at the Langdale Pikes. Lovely weather by the way - normally, when I go to Langdale it chucks it down....

[Mike Knipe @KnipeMike]

Then there was a short day over High Street and Gray Crag as the rain crept in. LTD suggested a spot behind a drumlin out of the wind. It was OK. Lorra slugs... good radio reception and a little bit of rough whisky as the rain came down. Next morning was slug city.

Me and LTD camped at Angle Tarn. Some prune had left a broken tent there. Dhuhhh... Lovely spot, though which is why its a popular place for camping.

Another Lindisfarne pic. quite like this one - new camera..............

[Mike Knipe @KnipeMike]

@LouKellett Mmmmmm hip flask.......

[Mike Knipe @KnipeMike]

Pilgrims route to Lindisfarne (actually, from cos the water was too deep at first) LTD mainly walked to heel across the vast sands. Daft dog. He did do a few zoomies at first then he just couldn't be arsed....

[Mike Knipe @KnipeMike]

@LouKellett The refuges don't look all that comfy! JJ's pal spent a night in one so to take some pics of the tide coming in. A bivi bag with a sleeping bag inside would be Just The Thing.

@GeoffCrowther1 @JordanJaunt Windy hill.... (loose translation)

@chrissiepebbles That's Stanley's tea. I hope he doesn't find out....

[Mike Knipe @KnipeMike]

@chrissiepebbles Looks a lot more organised than my tent porch.

[Mike Knipe @KnipeMike]
