    Good to see you out wild camping again mate 👍 😁 Very good call with the tent, makes such a difference if you've got plenty of room when the weather's like that!

      Absolutely, the main reason I brought it out. Such a super tent. I still can't believe the size of it for 1.8kg. thanks for the comment.

      Cheers man. Not as many deer as you see but a few anyways. And the fox. Big bugger. Heard him in the night time hunting. Few random screams.

    Great to see you back out again. It’s really hard to beat the sound of the rain hitting the tent. That looks a cracking spot yous had to pitch up on.

    • @soletrail
      @soletrail  7 месяцев назад +1

      100% agree. I could listen to rain all day. It's mornings like that you remember the most. Sunrises are amazing but a coffee under a shelter in the rain is so special. Really is.

    In case anyone was worried, the nav practice went well and I made it back home within a couple of days! 😊

      @@soletrail I know well about reigniting the fires, as you responded to another viewer. I’m 77 and haven’t backpacked for more than 30 years but am hoping to do so again this year, or at least take a walking holiday. It’s been a struggle after health issues but … 🤞. Best wishes.

    Excellent video mate, well done, once I had to bail out from there, pitch black, just my two torches and the sheep looking at me, just there heads following me, they don't even run away!! They must have been thinking "what a lunatic" those cracks are dangerous at night, it took me just over 2hrs to get to the car, another experience in the bag for next time.

    • @soletrail
      @soletrail  7 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah that route down is becoming bad.. a good head torch really comes into play on bail nights. It's the bail nights you remember thou. Cheers pal. Hope all is well.

    Martin if you do go to Iceland again will you take this Xenon 2 with you because it offers the weather protection and more room in bad weather or will you take the 1 man Helium again?

    • @soletrail
      @soletrail  7 месяцев назад +1

      That's a tricky one.. 1.8kg isn't too bad for the size of it. All depends on the weight of the bag I suppose. We got lucky the last time in Iceland. The week after our trip was a wash out. It's times like that you appreciate the bigger space. It's a brilliant tent. Have you decided yet?

    • @ScottRosa2008
      @ScottRosa2008 7 месяцев назад

      I’ve actually just today ordered the Xenon UL 2 plus with the even bigger porch! It’s just over 2kg on the trail weight but will be so nice to have that extra room especially for wet gear

      It's a thermorest compression pillow. Very comfortable indeed.
