Tent

I've finally bitten the bullet and bought myself a new lightweight 2-man tent. The one I use for mountain marathons is 25 years old - Vango force 10. Indeed, it's so old that it boasts "Made in Scotland".The new one - Nordisk 2 - is at least a third lighter (900g) as well as being a little more spacious and undoubtedly more weather-proof.

I was pleased that Tiso had a good price for it, since it means using a real shop, even if I had to go into town to pick it up.
