If you can get a bit of discount then the Montanes are worth every penny. I took mine on the WHW and they were the only trousers I wore day in, day out for about 10 days! They are light, comfortable and seem to repell dirt and mud easily as mine still looked clean despite all the rain and mud we had been through.
....
By the way Tim, do you need a lift or anything tomorrow night? I will be passing through B'hinch so will be no problem collecting you on the way.
Ye I'd tried them on in the shop last week and couldn't believe how light and comfortable they were, compared to my Berghaus Navigator trousers which I'm used to. Hopefully I'll be getting a new sleeping bag in the morning as well as I need a new one for going away, as my 15+ year old karrimor sleeping bag just isn't gonna cut it in sub-zero temperatures as low as -25°c, so I may be testing it out tomorrow as well. If you're passing through and you're sure it's no trouble then that would be great Jon, thanks. |

Pity you cant make it Matthew! If you change your mind I'm going to be driving so can give you a lift, just drop me a PM or phone me.

The Mournes look largely dry from tea time tonight until lunch on Sat. Wind is more of an issue.
I'm bivvying either way - fuck it!
