    Looking forward to watching the Cape Wrath Trail. Apparently it's tough.

      I’ve heard it’s a slog. Has to be done though 😅

    Try the Nemo Tensor mats Jack, wide, long, light and they don’t rustle like the NeoAir mats.
    Glad you enjoyed our little WHW mate. 👌🏼

      @@jackbrookes your WHW overview was excellent. I have forwarded this to many people, when they ask about the WHW. I did the WHW myself shortly afterwards, I found your overview actually quite accurate. It was indeed, not easy. Quite a variation actually. There should be a disclaimer for the Loch Lomond part, that was damn hard work, oh for the luxury of having 20 m of straight path! Anyway, glad you like Scotland. We have a lovely little corner that is so easy to access and use for camping. Nice to see so many people coming from all over the world.

    What did you do for pooping and keeping clean? Did you filter your own water or do any long water carries?

    • @jackbrookes
      @jackbrookes  18 часов назад

      There’s a toilet you’ll past on most days! Especially if you’re willing to pay for a coffee at a shop to have access to their toilet. Keeping clean wise I jumped in the loch and showered when I stayed in the hotel. And plenty of water taps to fill up along the way or purchase :) no long water carries needed!

    Was looking to Buy the copper spur, how tall are you and do you recommend the 1p over 2p?

    • @jackbrookes
      @jackbrookes  2 месяца назад

      I’m 6ft1. I’ve never used the 2p, just the 1. It is pretty tight in there, only just enough room to put some of my electronics next to me at head height. Length wise it is great

    Hi Jack, I purchased the same tent recently for warmer weather camping abroad and I was always concerned about the pole snapping how did you repair it and what was the long term fix ie perminant repair or replacement,thanks.

    • @jackbrookes
      @jackbrookes  2 месяца назад

      Hey! I contacted big Agnes and they were really good about it - they sent me a new tent pole set to replace it :)

    • @mrt-bear3934
      @mrt-bear3934 22 часа назад

      To add to this, you can keep a tent pole splint and duct tape in your repair kit for broken poles on the trail (look up a tutorial on pole repair if unsure). Then just contact the manufacturer for a pole segment when you're back home!
