The Alps – Some Kit Comments

Posted onSeptember 10, 2010October 7, 2019Leave a comment

Osprey Mutant 38 pack:  I’d bought this the day before the flight and on arrival found that two others had exactly the same pack!   This probably says more about the lack of choice in the UK with Snow & Rock, Cotswold Outdoor and Ellis Brigham all stocking the same limited Read More …

Rab Cirrus wind-shirt

Posted onJune 22, 2010October 7, 2019Leave a comment

Funnily enough I read Martin’s post over at SummitandValley on the very same day that I’d just tried on a Montane Featherlite smock for size.  A wind-shirt had been on my hit-list for a while having dabbled with soft-shells and varying weights of fleece but realised that, more often than not, Read More …

Memory Map for iPhone: First Review

Posted onMay 3, 2010October 7, 20192 Comments

I’ve had the PC version with a full set of Memory Map 1:25k maps on my PC for a couple of years.  The novelty of using my Garmin GPS and downloading tracks to MM soon wore off and I ditched the GPS and reverted to map/compass.   I still used Read More …

I thought it was time to comment on recent kit purchases now they’ve seen a few outings and I am (or was) on a plane with a few hours to spare – though typing on the iPhone keyboard generally involves 3 keys forward and 2 back!! Thermarest NeoAir mattress:   Read More …

Mountain Equipment Astron Hoody

Posted onApril 26, 2009October 7, 20193 Comments

My hunt for a soft-shell is finally over after purchasing a Mountain Equipment Astron Hoody from Snow & Rock this weekend. The Powershield Lite fabric is highly wind resistant yet breathable and I liked the idea of an integral hood. I also tried on a Rab VR Trail Lite – Read More …

OMM The Villain 45+10 MSC

Posted onMarch 26, 2009January 29, 20174 Comments

In readiness for our wildcamping weekend in Wales I needed a new pack (that’s the justification I used to the wife!). I’d toyed with the idea of the Osprey Exos 46 and Talon 44, but kept coming back to the OMM The Villain 45+10 MSC. OMM gear always gets good Read More …
