    I have just started watching your videos Stuart and really enjoy their tranquility and your drone footage. I haven’t ventured up to Bleaklow because my navigation skills aren’t quite trusted yet 😅I would be relying on GPS and worry that if in bad weather I couldn’t get signal with little landmarks I’d struggle with finding bearings. I’ll have to get up there on a good day with lots of time 😊 will catch up on your published videos, ATB, from a fellow solo camper in the peaks, Sarah

    • @StuartThow
      @StuartThow  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah its a fantastic tent for its size and weight and with the 4 season inner is pretty good in the snow. I don't tent to take it out in crazy wind, but its been in maybe 30mph gusts and held up well. I usually pitch it lower to the ground to help stop the wind from getting under it.

      Yeah I'm actually tempted to get it in XL as I need another for when one of the kids are with me. Sadly when I originally bought it from Decathlon I was in a bit of a rush and needed one for the next day and they didn't have the XL in stock.
