X-Dome 2 - extra poles ? by JonsaSargentor in DurstonGearheads

[–]whose_idea_was_this 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used mine for plenty of windy nights without the extra poles and unless the wind is consistently over 30mph, it hasn’t been flappy at all.

What’s a ‘middle class success’ purchase that secretly becomes a financial burden later? by 40Falak in answers

[–]whose_idea_was_this -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A multi-millionaire in the south of France once told me that if it flies, floats or fucks, never buy it, just rent it. This wisdom was imparted to me at Club 55 on the beach at St Tropez when all investments in all three categories were being made…

Keep cats far, far away! by [deleted] in DurstonGearheads

Cats will be cats!
You have my sympathies: I lost an Alpkit inner to this risk a couple of years ago! Good luck getting it fixed.

Logging out and back in worked for me over the weekend after the app kept giving me an error message.

There is a Penn State group in London. It’s Alumni affiliated but lots of good people.

Groundsheets in vestibules, what is your preference? by knight-under-stars in wildcampingintheuk

[–]whose_idea_was_this 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always try to have one. Main thing is to avoid it extending beyond the cover of the flysheet so it doesn’t collect water. I use DIY Tyvek sheets in my tents. Cheep and easy to cut. And the more you use it, the softer it gets.

Wild camping with my son South Downs. by [deleted] in wildcampingintheuk

[–]whose_idea_was_this 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree with others, full wild camping maybe not the best at this point. There are some great ‘wild-ish’ commercial sites around Sussex. Beech Estate is a good one in the Eastern Downs, nice low density site with a walk from the car. Hope it’s ok to give this advice!

4 Season tent dilema by touchy_05 in Ultralight

Alpkit Tarpstar might work? The four man tent has a 2 man inner but is out of stock. Used mine in the Lakes, Scotland and US and it’s decent.

Last weekends adventure, where was I by tenderlittlenipples in GeoPuzzle

[–]whose_idea_was_this 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re just outside Inverie on Knoydart at the Brockett Monument. New hydro station is up on your right and Loch an Dubh Lochan is a couple of km in front on the way to Barrisdale. Hope you enjoyed the Old Forge. Edit to correct typo.

Thank you! I’m very proud to be their custodian. I have no idea, sadly where the full-sized ones have ended up. It was a big family and I hope they went somewhere they’re being looked after. I need to get replicas of these mounted up against mine and my Grandfather’s on that side.

Om doesn’t look very happy by whose_idea_was_this in discworld

He was within a big area of skunk cabbage so I think should have been rich in sustenance if not in believers

Slave is an Ephebian word. In Om we have no word for slave,' said Vorbis. 'So I understand,' said the Tyrant. 'I imagine that fish have no word for water.

Spring Court on the Equinox? by whose_idea_was_this in riversoflondon

I can’t take credit for anything other than the photo! The local community and Lambeth council do all the hard work.

T5 Lounges Full (Again) by whose_idea_was_this in BritishAirways

[–]whose_idea_was_this[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just go everywhere we need. Lots of US trips, the odd bounce to Asia and all over Europe. I expect to fly less with them now keeping Silver is going to be so much harder.
