Have an excellent time Glenn, sure packing too much stuff is always part of the experience and you'll know next time what you actually use and what you really need.

strap the tent to the outside of the rucksack to make space for more luxuries, you'll be glad of those luxuries when you get there  :)

Take it all, make sure the wee fella has a great time.  :)

One word of warning though be careful with food. It's a good idea to hang your rubbish with food scraps on a tree. If you leave inside the fly sheet you might just have a fox trying to get it.

Fantastic night no rain until 2am then wash out but a brilliant night and bumped in another wilder Scribble who very kindly let us share the shelter of his tarp and as he already had a wee fire going we were sorted. Might try and get a few pics up later can't do it now as we are still sitting waiting for the car to de mist. Might not happen though because we are that wet we're steamin it up.

Great night and great to meet you and Tom , Owen still looking one of Toms knifes. I got the fire lit but your organisation of the wood kept it going all night  :D . will have to be better organised and bring wine and save my self a trip into annalong ::).
The path back to car was an experience just gave up trying to keep dry and we just walked through the streams

Ha Ha Ha the walk back down to the car was MAD never imagined there could be much surface water should have brought my kayak. Passed a group of fell runners who were greatly overdressed speedos would have been more than enough.
