Yeah I guess you get what you pay for, it does pack down really small. I'll be taking some long johns to sleep in for the Black forest.P4ulie wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 5:48 pm Thanks for that Bren, just ordered some of the Gel wet shoes as could have used them walking up river beds in Cumbria last week.
I bought the Crane down bag as a *ahem* birthday present for the Mrs (i'm not evil she's getting other stuff) but sounds like if it needs a liner as well it will likely end up packing as big as my 3 season down bag
I will just have to test it for her, wouldn't want her getting cold now
It's like a boring version of On The Road.
That's what I thought but I was reading a US camping forum and everyone was raving about them. Only to be eaten where there is a recycling bin for the tin. You do not want a slimy fish tin in your pack
Thanks Tramp, I will be packing thermals. Without the wetsuit I'll have tonnes of extra space. Snugpack Elites look great but a bit heavy for my tastes.Tramp wrote: ↑Tue Jun 05, 2018 6:47 pm Cheers Brenhden..... Best sleeping bag by far is a snugpak elite..... And a down jacket and summer biker and waterproof over overs all bases.... And a pair of longjohns for them mountain passes... We are british after all...
Enjoy the black forest and dont eat too much gateaux or drink too many pils...the piesporter aint bad.
It will be cake, ham and beer for a week, I'll get a bottle of piesporter and give it a test.
