Flown into places like Lukla and Paro both of which are considered dangerous but I always remember the first time going into Kai tak.

I remember the very bags had the down one and still use the 5 season one with the interior pockets and crash zip, the feather one was in the early days when we still smoked solids and mine was full of blim holes used to be sat in a cloud of feathers every time I got in it,had one with sleeves and a fold up bottom end so you could walk in it but it was pretty shite,  the other one I’ve slept out in minus 5 wearing just my kacks no probs like you have never put the gortex cover on despite having several of them, as I said to mackem I use army gear over other stuff as they cant just go home if things go south, have several bergans in different sizes army sleeping bags and cotton combat have kept me dry and warm for years 

Have you tried the thermal olive desert trousers mate, they are only 20 notes on ebay. Not much good for doing anything other than sitting around but we'll toasty,  you might need braces though  lol

Looks spot on that mate! It's last minute but there's half a chance we'll be down that way for a short break in a few weeks. Wouldn't mind somewhere coastal but within reach of Cardiff for a day out. My eldest has asked to go there and I've only been one with the footy.. and we didn't do much sightseeing!

Be nice to see Mumbles and Gower all being well!!

I'm planning on doing 1-4 week on the Camino next year.... depending on work etc

I met a bloke yesterday on a trail,he is in his 60’s and done the Camino twice in the last decade,he wants to do it barefoot as he says that was the old way of doing it?
