    Went up to Christianbury crags but howling gale so came back down.

      Excellent, it makes a great little spot for an overnighter with it being sheltered from the winds . As you know it gets a little wild at times up Christianbury Crags , I always drop down a little from the top if camping . TFW atb Dave

    Nice night away night Dave, looked braw. Decent looking tent that, looks similar to those 3F UL Lanshan tents. Bet that all day breakfast still went down well. Probably a wise decision avoiding the Lakes and I hear you with the wind, everytime I go out it's windy.

    Nice one! I've just bought the Lunar solo in grey as all the green ones were sold out. I'm going to use it in June/July for my Pennine Way adventure. I was looking for something very light and quick to pitch but didn't want to go the way of those silly priced dynemea tents or the really cheap knock-offs. Your video has really showcased the tent in a good light and I think it will be perfect for a fast and light summer crossing on the Pennine Way!👍🍻😎

    • @BorderRambler
      @BorderRambler  5 років тому +2

      Cheers Snowy , I got mine just after xmas for better weather use . Still getting used to it regarding the pitch it needs plenty of ventilation and I need to keep it a bit higher at the back to aid ventilation . And as Mark says take a cloth for the morning wipe down .
      Enjoy the pennine way are you filming your trip ?

I always carry an extra microfiber towel that I use to wipe down the tent anyway so it'll be cool I wanted to give my nuke proof Polar Lite a rest as it needs a repair because on the first day of my April WHW walk, after an overnight drive up from London and a 17 mile walk, I didn't located one of the three tent poles correctly and in my sleep deprived state used too much force and snapped the pole along with ripping part of its sleeve. It still held up just fine even with its injury and patched up pole - i really do love that tent!

      Just curious, do you still have the tent you used? I am thinking of buying the Lunar Solo. Seems like a great tent. But, some of the reviews show it has issues with condensation. I currently use the Flame’s Creed 2. I did a video on it. The tent you use is much lighter. I subscribed to your channel. ✌️

      @BorderRambler  5 років тому +1

      @@ASTHECROWFLIESHIKING Thanks for the sub , I still have the lunar solo but mainly use it in the warmer months, its a great tent so roomy but it can suffer a little from condensation due to its single skin design . So I always vent if possible and due to the uk being so wet its a just one of those things. I have just got the lanshan 1 in the sale so will be comparing it to the SMD next year atb Dave

      It’s a great barrier in single skin shelters . I’ve had very little condensation using it . If any it’s always at the foot end .
      It’s also great on windy nights as extra layer to stop the wind striking through.
