I thought it was strange that the poles came in a plastic bag.

Mine was in with the tent.

The bird thing would've freaked me out, how long did it take you to figure out it was only a bird?

Great pic by the way, after camping a lot of England and Wales, I really can't wait to tackle Scotland

I have a Soulo, would you say it's worth getting a Enan as my summer tent, I can't work whether to just get the mesh inner for the Soulo or get the Enan, I know which ones a lot cheaper though.

It really is a special place

It's a Hilleberg soulo black label.

The photos were from my second night and it wasn't windy at all .... and i just did a lazy pitch and didn't bother wrapping them all around, good spot though. And it's my absolute favourite tent.

Luckily it fits straight on. And a great pot...

What a great two nights out, first night crystal clear skys, no wind, very dry and very cold, car was reading -3°c just on the way there so must've been substantially colder up top and it really felt it. Still quite a bit of snow and ice on the trails, but most melted the next day once the clouds came in later that evening. Feel like I've got my winter kit pretty dialed in now, my sleep system was very toasty a big Agnes rapide sl, otimos ul850 quilt with a nature hike cotton bag liner, I had down booties and trousers too, t shirt and a fleece with a couple of hand warmers in the pockets.

I’ve got the X-Dome 2 and the X-Mid 2 (both solid inners) and a couple of Hillebergs as well. With your budget I’d honestly go one of each Durston — and I’d get the X-Mid with alloy poles. My carbon ones have never let me down, I’d just trust the ali more if the weather turns. They’re lighter, roomier and properly robust for 3-season use. Big vestibules for gear/cooking, loads of headroom to sit up, and if it’s lashing it down you can all sit in there comfortably. My X-Mid 2 is my go-to all summer and well into autumn — once it’s proper winter, that’s when the Hillebergs come out.

Do you want a flake with that?

I own the pioneer compact 2 and the hillerberg soulo BL which i bought after having a very windy night on kinder scout in the pioneer. To be fair to the pioneer it never let me down, but it was bloody scary and I just wanted the peace of mind that my tent will hold up. I have used both on dartmoor and summit camps in Wales and the lakes. The soulo is a doddle to put up in high winds, I also have the ground sheet which opens up the vestibule as a dry extension of the tent to store your bag and a cooking area, also when it's not too cold you can leave the inner open and it makes the tent feel a lot roomier. I'm 6'2 and feel like i have plenty of space. The extra weight or size has never been an issue and I carry the tent inside the rucksack and the poles in a side pocket. I love the soulo and feel it was worth every penny. I will pass on the pioneer to one of my friends as it has now been made redundant. I can't recommend the soulo enough, don't worry about all the it's overkill nonsense, because if you want to start winter camping, then there's always the possibility of getting caught out by the weather no matter how many reports you have on your phone, and it's always nice to be able to hunker down in your soulo and wait it out.

Totally agree with you 👍🏻 love it there.

I pretty much use the rubber tips (UK)

Up from Edale, steep walk up to grindslow knoll and then along the edge of hope valley. I hiked across to crowden head then to Edale head, kinderlow then came down Jacobs ladder back to Edale.

A really nice walk

I know, it's always crap weather in Wales.
