Here's a couple more pictures around the Castle Crag Remembrance Day service. These are from Brian.
Its also been pointed out several times that a few days ago, calendars and clocks hit the magical 11.11.11.11.11 thingy. This won't happen again in my lifetime, unless I meet that timelord at chucking out time outside the Coach and Horses again. In order to commemorate this event (or should it be commmmmmmmemorate?) - Here's a little relevant video fom youtube.
Antisocial behaviour

Fly tipping is getting worse. People have so much stuff they want to get
rid of. Easy to dump it wherever they like. Some people are disgusting.
Busy today...

1st Photo,
I presume all this new trial gear is from Vagabonds R Us. Ha.
What bivvy is that you used, Mike? Was it cold out?
Arf Alan.....
Terry - The bag is an army surplus arctic cover - cost me £7.50 for five bags in an Army surplus store. Inside it is a 3/4 thermarest and a mountain equipment down bag. And me, obviously. It was a warm night, I had to unzip the bag till about half six when I zipped it up for a bit.
Terry - Mike is an experienced hiker. If it had been cold out I am sure he'd have popped it back in again...
....As they said at the surgery when I went for the flu jab - "Just a little prick Mr Knipe..."
Cheek...
LOL Funny buggers! :)
Bargain then Mike. How do they perform? I used an ex army one funnily enough in the Priest Hole Cave and it was saturated inside with condensation. Not the most breathable of bivvys :( Only cost me a tenner too. So, left it in cave for someone else who maybe desperate in the end
Terry - The do suffer from condensation - not ideal with a down bag on a clear night.
They perform better if its really cold and are ideal if you need to sit around - winter and summer solstice overnight partying in a currick is where they really score.
I got them for bivvying with the kids - you can get two eight year olds and a dog in one bag.
