With hindsight it was the selling of the Oookworks solid inner that was the greatest mistake as they had become unavailable when I replaced the Duomid. The MLD mesh inner I purchased to go with it is nowhere near as suitable for the UK. I also now have a cheapo Chinese solid inner which I would have been better with on the Pennine Way, at least on a few nights when it was breezy and thus a little chilly. I am pleased you are getting good use from the one you bought off me.FellBoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089687581260477621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-46234590421262424782021-11-18T13:55:55.558+00:002021-11-18T13:55:55.558+00:00Hi Ed

We didn't actually bother to go and look - the experience of the previous 15 days of walking as good as told us that they would be completely dry. I suppose we could have checked.FellBoundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13089687581260477621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257326944769558416.post-37232504291769409822021-11-18T13:40:17.792+00:002021-11-18T13:40:17.792+00:00In 2017, I bought an excellent Duomid from a grand...In 2017, I bought an excellent Duomid from a grand gear sale on the Fellbound website. Did you replace your Duomid with a Duomid?<br /><br />I'm loving the one I bought from you. It was out in the Cairngorms a couple of days ago.

Windy Gyle looked great for camping given the weather we had but it was just too early in the day. I haven't forgotten that I need to alter the link to your fabulous website. I will get around to it.

It did, though, look 'orribly steep to get down there, I was all done in, and John and I had arranged to meet at the hut.

Sorry that sounds grudging. Not meant that way. Fancy an Oban start? I've never done a more southerly crossing. Otherwise we could meet up elsewhere for a stroll.
