Its far better and enhances the post.<br />The Duddon is beautiful but lets not tell everyone. Wallowbarrow was my daughters first climb. Thats rope climbing not walking around the side to the top. Its a place we love to go and walk and meet the locals.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-33077630753670669612013-07-15T08:17:34.859+01:002013-07-15T08:17:34.859+01:00Clicking to enlarge makes a HUGE difference to the...Clicking to enlarge makes a HUGE difference to the pics. They are superb. I often wonder if visitors to one's blog bother to look at the enlarged pics.<br /><br />The Duddon valley is my favourite part of the Lakes. I have happy memories of climbing on Wallowbarrow, a friendly crag, and picnicking with the kids at Ulpha Bridge.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-62269895214009252592013-07-09T22:05:26.533+01:002013-07-09T22:05:26.533+01:00Hi Maria.

I think a home made foil shield would suffice just as good and that is what I will do for the next outing I use it. I like the stove even better than the Pocket stove from Backpacking light. Its more stable and easier to put together.<br />Oh yes, the Duddon Valley is a lovely area.

I've tried it both with the traditional alcohol stove as well as with the gas stove intended for Trangia stoves and it works both ways (although I prefer the alcohol stove set-up).<br /><br />The Clickstand looks even better but as the Triangle was available locally and was more affordable I bought it. And I don't think I could justify buying a Clickstand now that I already have a Triangle. I've been using a regular foil windscreen or a Firemaple windscreen. The Firemaple windscreen is rather nice (although a bit heavier).<br /><br />This is the Firemaple windscreen I'm referring to:<br />http://www.ultralightoutdoorgear.co.uk/equipment-c3/stoves-c12/stove-accessories-c132/fms-503-windshield-p1265-maria-https://www.blogger.com/profile/00769586507003743048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-24884319365775943372013-07-09T11:51:43.392+01:002013-07-09T11:51:43.392+01:00Thanks Dawn.

Its debatable. Views spectacular and excellent walking. Its getting a little busier and the glampers have found it so there is a change in atmosphere and noise levels. The money is certainly welcome though after last years washout.AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7439013386414903935.post-9836854356836201122013-07-09T11:36:07.607+01:002013-07-09T11:36:07.607+01:00That is a lovely area.
