Ridgeway Fastpack

Split into 2 × 2.5m, 2× 1.5m, an 2 × 1m. I could have done with and extra stake and line or two if the wind were worse.

Good minimal size. Made from Ripstop By The Roll Silpoly XL. I'm going to add some middle tie outs for some extra pitching options when I get around to it.

Would have wanted 8 if it were windier

Love the chest zip and no-see-um window. Could do with being a little longer!

I think this would be OK to around 8c.

I sort of hate this trowel, its got no padding around the handle at all, so it's just a sheet of metal. I need to wrap the butt of the handle in something.

Just enough!

I love my waterproof phone!

5000mah would have been plenty

I need a truly wide mouth bottle for mixing powdered drinks. Might just take the weight penalty of a 750ml cycling Bidon.

I prefer these to a water bladder as they make it easier to keep track of fluid intake. A wider mouth bottle would be better. I might get some of the ones with straws for hands free drinking...

Tips replaced with Leki ones after the carbide tips fell out on LEJOG

Carries really nicely with this kind of weight. Can be adjusted very quickly from a slacker hiking fit to a tighter running fit in a few seconds. Volume is just sufficient. Were I using an inflatable rather than CCF ~3 days food would be do-able

For food.

For sleeping bag and puffy.

For bits and bobs.

Excellent warmth to weight ratio, but I'd like to experiment with synthetic for better warmth when wet.

Could have done with the long sleeve version for a little more warmth in the rain.
