A Fantastic Night on Knowl Hill (Scout Moor) last night

I brought the parents Shelties along for some company, Ellie & Archie. We had an amazing sunset and sunrise. I had good grub and they enjoyed their usual food with lots of treats. Getting the pegs in was quite the chore as there isn't one patch of ground up there that isn't rocky/hard but I got them in eventually. There was little wind all evening, night and through the morning. The temperature was 15°C walking in, a low of about 3°C and walking out about 9°C. Waking up felt really cosy and makes me realise I prefer the colder temps and getting warm and snug for the night. I really enjoyed this one and I think the dogs did too!

SW Coastal Path Oct 2026

First solo trip out of the year for myself due to life/work commitments changing. Approximately 14 miles covered across the SW coastal path, 1 nights camping, pleasure fishing and book reading.

Nights sleep went better than expected, was that hot I slept on top of the sleep mat, nothing on and just the sleeping bag led across the top of me. Was woken by crashing waves and the sounds of fishing boats going out in the morning.

Sleep mat needs changing out, whilst its insulation level was great at keeping the ground temp away from me I felt every little bump and lump underneath me.

Wanted one coastal trip this year before doing more inland a bit more.

I’ve been using my Lanshan 2 but feeling limited by the weather. Tent recommendations plus some advice.

I feel like I can quite confidently use my Lanshan 2 between mid April and mid September. However I’ve found that it’s limiting me as I am fearful of using it in windier weather.

Generally I check all the mountain weather websites and if there are gusts of above 30mph i will opt out of it and end up car camping.

I’d like to invest in a 4 season tent, even if it means saving for a while. I can’t wrap my head around the difference between a hilleberg and a MSR hubba hubba or a Nortent vern.
I’d like to feel safe if camping in an exposed place but I doubt I’ll be going out in December/january so I’m less bothered about it being specifically suitable for absolute winter weather… therefore do I actually just need a better 3 season tent?

I also need a winter sleeping bag and am looking at the Nemo disco 15 for this but would welcome recommendations. I have the Nemo eclipse sleeping pad and I use a foam mat beneath it

Thanks

One Night Solo Wild Camping in a Scottish glen

Got lucky with some lovely late September weather in the Ardgour peninsula. Walked up one glen to a lochan at the top and found the driest point I could to camp. The next day was very boggy underfoot along indistinct paths but that’s the price for 24 hours without seeing another human soul.

Bailed on Ingleborough.. was I just being silly?

I feel like such a sausage. I hiked up Ingleborough, with 14kg strapped to my back, ready for a night of star gazing. Got up there a bit early… 13:00approx. Thought ill plod over to whernside . Tried to descend but the people coming up were hand to rock all the way up so I decided to walk along scuttle house Moore with the plans to find a spot. Couldn’t find anywhere. Ended up coming down and walking back to ingleton. Felt really deflated. Just as well I did however as I woke with ice on my tent, and my sleeping bag is rated to 4 degrees. So was a tad chilly.

Did all the miles with extra weight for nothing 😭

Reviews on the Vango Orion 200 2 Man Tent for first solo camping trip

Basically the title. Anyone have any experience with this tent? The vestibule really caught my eye as I can cook in it. Any better recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Solo camp on Llyn Yr Adar. Not many flat spots around. Beautiful evening! Risotto for dinner. This morning was misty so I practiced some map and compass skills.

What are the best websites to buy affordable hiking

​

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for websites that sell hiking clothes at affordable prices. I'm mainly interested in hiking pants, jackets, fleece, T-shirts especially shoes (the north face).

I live in Algeria, but I have someone in the UK who can buy the items for me and then ship them to Algeria.

What websites would you recommend beside : sportporsuit.com ?

Thanks!

Is the Phoxx 3 really that much bigger than the 2?

Hi folks.

I'm looking at getting a phoxx tent. However, I'm torn between the 2 and 3. The 2 would be fine for myself, but my 8 year old son will be coming with me sometimes, so I'm leaning towards the 3.

My question is, is the 3 noticeably bigger from the outside? As in, will it be a lot harder to stealth camp in the 3 than the 2? Or am I overthinking this?

On the other hand, would the 2 actually be okay for a 5ft10 fella and his 8 year old son?
