Oops - sorry about that :-(
No prob. That's the luck of the draw... Never mind! I'd better carry on
saving. :-)

interested in a Voyager, though, I'm putting that one up next 🙂
That's a bit heavy really, if it's the one I think it is (Terra-Nova). At
the mo I already have a choice of 2 ridge-style tents.
1) Sombrero Daletrekker 1-man at 2.2kg - not too bad but not well
ventilated, can't sit up in it & am now getting too ancient and
inflexible really for wriggling down to the 40cm high "little end" to put
the inner up! I recently improved it with a re-proof and did the inner
with a breathable spray at the same time. At least it doesn't drip
condensation on me through the inner now. :-)
2) Ultimate Equipment Superpacker (I think! There doesn't seem to be any
other name on it.) 2-man at 2.5kg - a very nicely made and quite rugged
tent, but would prefer something a bit lighter when it's just me using it.
I'm just considering another short trip with this one.
Both of these are getting rather old now, and are showing their age a bit.
That's why I'm currently looking round for something different. I try to
keep the weight down as I don't drive, so getting from a bus stop or
railway station to a hill before starting the real walk often means that I
have a few miles of road walking!
