I'll be meeting you lot somewhere at the start, the end, or maybe even in the middle  my daughter isn't too well at the moment so not sure if she's up for the walk, i might start at bloody bridge later and jog towards you, legs are bit sore after yesterdays Donard epic 

[RedLeader]

Awesome, we'll see you somewhere. I'll have a walkie talkie on.

Hi Guy's

How was bloody bridge campsite?

[suspectmonkey]

Bloody Bridge camp site was great Andy, the owner Frank was very welcoming and runs the place well.  Excellent location as well, will definitely be making a return visit!

Cheers for yet another top trip guys, was great to meet everyone again along with a couple of new faces!  Both Kat and I had a great time.  Will hopefully get some photos up tonight

[surfnscenic]

Where are all the photos that were taken?  I've sent some to Red Leader to be posted as I, for some reason am unable to do so.

All my gear has been washed or hung out to air to try  and get rid of that pungent smokey smell from the BBQ and fire.

All sitting nicely in the garage just waiting to go.  See seperate thread.

Yup have all mine stored away again, except my tent which I need to dry the ground sheet just need to motivate myself to go get it out of its bag.

That reminds me, I still have all my kit to unpack!

Don't forget you've a peg to straighten out.  At 6 quid a touch you'll need to go careful.

When I got home I tried fitting the gas canister and burner into the Trangia base and it fits quiet snug.  It does add a bit of weight over the meths burner though.

I'll have to give the lightweight approach some serious consideration.  A bit of practice and adjustment will bring rewards I suppose?

[RedLeader]

Gah, me to. Dread to think how smelly it is..

I still have all the photos, sorry about that, the week got totally away from me. Maybe it was royal wedding excitement

Just ordered myself a Trangia 27, liked the look of the ones on the trip and the advice supplied although rightly or wrongly I went for the non-stick version as I totally detest scrubbing anything.

Good job, it'll serve you well!  I love my Trangia, and whilst I do tend to mix and match between it and the Jetboil I would never sell the Trangia.  When you actually want to cook (rather than boil!) something it's hard to beat.  The non-stick stuff is really handy as well, I also detest pot scrubbing but I had a Primus pot with non-stick that was excellent.  You could just run it under a tap and it was clean.  Just be careful not to use metal cutlery as it can damage the non-stick surface, I tend to use a plastic Spork instead.

Tsk tsk!  I had my tent nicely dried and aired before we even left Bloody Bridge and the rest of my kit hanging out on the line once I got home   It's now all neatly filed away in its relevant drawer... yes, I know, I have problems

I'm guessing I'm at very least going to regret not digging out the frying pan and cleaning it
