I hope i don’t think of anything else.
I will do a report on the trip on return.
Enjoy and I hope the weather is kind to you Alan.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gibson,
ReplyDeleteWeather forecast is one of slight improvement for the next few days.
Rotten day here today. Cold, wet and grey.
Sounds and looks good, Alan. Hope you have a nice trip.
ReplyDeleteI had to google "barm cakes" - looks delicious!
Will all this pack into a 45 litre Mammut, or which size of the rucksack will you be carrying? It looks like nice backpack.
Yes Maria it will all fit into a 45l rucksack with a little space to spare. Also the sack has an extendable lid so you could get another 5L under it.
ReplyDeleteBarm cakes are basically soft bread rolls. Not particularly
unique but different areas in the UK call them by different names.
I hope the days are not all rainy. Its rained all day today sometimes really heavy.
I hope the rain eases off for you, its been pouring all day in Worcestershire today!
ReplyDeleteIts been a shocker Geoff. Cheers.
DeleteLooking forward to hearing all about it.
ReplyDelete:-)
Good luck, Sir!
I can probably write it now Al. Stuck in tent, listening to Mike singing and rain drumming, Dawn making coffee and bacon butties. No visibility. Whisky supply diminishing fast.
DeleteHave a good one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Robin. Hope the dogs feeling better.
DeleteHave a good trip and say hi to Mike.
ReplyDeleteThanks MArtin.
DeleteHave a fantastic time Alan, i am gutted i can't go with you but i am really looking forward to hearing all about. Keep safe and enjoy the barm cakes and whisky.

If Knipe has any pies, make sure you get some before he eats them all.
ReplyDeleteI've not forgotten Peebles Moffat.
Mind you, he did provide beer :)
I look forward to the write up.
He brought the chuck wagon!
