However it being a single wall shelter makes me wonder about possible condensation issues. Could you inform me of your experiences regarding condensation with the Duplex? I'd also like to know if you have had any issues with condensation coming down as a result of rain coming down on the exterior. My email adres is guyvanvianen@gmail.com.<br />Thanks a lot beforehand!

And he thought he was in upper Langstrath and almost at Angle Tarn ie he was in a different valley to the one he thought he was in. So I suspect he wouldn't have made it. ☺FellBoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089687581260477621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-16523580982762296832015-07-24T07:21:12.942+01:002015-07-24T07:21:12.942+01:00Just because you couldn’t manage to get to Scafell...Just because you couldn’t manage to get to Scafell from the top of the Stake Pass doesn’t mean that a Dickhead couldn’t.

The Inov8 Terroc 330s that did me the last two Challenges. They now have holes in the uppers and have acquired the smell of an elderly Stilton that's been sat too long in the airing cupboard. At this moment they are in the blue bag awaiting Eden District Council's bin men.

Then, the campsite at Stonethwaite flooded after we'd got the tents up. The hotel at Rosthwaite was very nice though..... Anyway, now I know what all this 'Death' stuff is.
