Hey Simon, Great video. I think JW giving you that tent is a good sign of the quality of your channel. They are not giving them out very often, Well done. Hope that ankle gets sorted for your next big walk. Thanks for sharing with us. ATB-Phill 🙏
@@voxxonline getting there mate, I was able to get about in the peaks yesterday and this morning and with some strapping it held. Hopefully able to run again in a week or so. Thanks for asking mate 👍🏻
I've now wild camped this last weekend. The weather is getting better, not so cold in the mornings. I'll soon start using the lightweight tent & tarp with the 3 season sleeping bag. Camping on the coast of Guernsey is interesting.
@@SimonOutdoors no over nighters yet but I live fairly close to the peak district so plenty of day hikes, planning on a trip to the lakes in a fortnight
Enjoyed that, the tent looked good and i know exactly what you mean with getting the kit you really want, i just been through a phase of lighter weight gear but really i prefer the middle weight gear, a compromise of comfort and weight.
Also to add, i think youd like the unna, i have one and its a very very nice tent but if you camp up high you will want to get 10mm poles, the 9mm ones are wobbly
Thanks Martin, they've slapped another £50 on the Unna unfortunately, it's seems like the more affordable one though still. Will consider the poles. Thanks for watching and commenting, Si
Great video mate awesome to see you back out Si 👍🏻 Castle ruins looked well cool and love your new tent, hope you're ankle is ok though! I love my little Helm Compact 1 but do have my name on a waiting list for the Compact 2 aswell as I think sometimes ill want that little bit more room, width more than anything especially for just an overnighter maybe. There isnt any for me in the 1 haha. But, its a wicked little tent. Top job 💯👍🏻 ATB... Chris
@@SimonOutdoors Yeah same, thats the same reason I got the Compact 1 over the original too, spoke to 4 or 5 people on here and Insta that had both and they all said the same. Will be worth the wait I suppose... definitely worth the extra room. Loving the new pack too mate looks awesome that, glad to see you smiling and having fun 😊😊😊
OMG!!.. off tempo Milkshake IPA is my fave but can't find them anymore down here... Great spot that, I'm going to tap you up for that location if its my way 😉 you sounded a little tipsy 😁 BBQ scars 😡😡😡 I'm in the peak district on Monday. Cool man. Lee
Nice video, Simon. Tent looks very cool, looks similar to the MSR Elixr2. Hope you have a good time in the Peak District, I will be in the Peak District also so our paths may cross. 👍
Great to see you out again dude! That tent looks rad, will be interested in your review vid when you get a chance. Hope that ankle is okay and you get out this weekend as planned. Stay Rad. MADS
@@SimonOutdoors as it'll be the first one of the year, probably just to a local woodland. Got a few spots in mind. Also gives me a chance to test a few bits of new kit.
Thanks mate. It’s the Rab Solar 3, good value and synthetic so you can chuck it around a bit and not worry about it getting wet. Warm too. Are you still using the quilt?
Love watching Wolves, they are finding it tougher this season. It has been a crazy few days for football! I'm not sure it would've helped mate, the damage was done on the WHW and that wasn't because I used shoes it was the 100 miles in 4 days!
@@SimonOutdoors we sold a couple of good player, stircker with a broken skull and we have just payed too many games in Europa last season, But Nuno is the true special one hehe
@@SimonOutdoors I subscribed early and have watched all your videos. Your production has steadily improved on the videos, so well done for all the hard effort it must take making each. Maybe one day you'll be able to retire to doing this :)
@@MikeB_UK Thanks Mike, maybe one day. I enjoy it mostly as a hobby and the perks are a bonus! :) I plan to continue investing in the production and gradually continue improving. I hope you have had a good start to the week
Most important question did anyone see you fall? First thing I do whenever I fall over is check that no one saw ha Hope the ankle heals up quick for you.
