Some days you just luck out.The 2 days over the weekend of 25th & 26th of March were precisely 2 such days, book ending a glorious night atop Beinn Mheadhoin in the Cairngorms, my first summit camp of the year."there's a high pressure system coming Andy.

The following review is a 4 minute read.First of all I'd like to say I was skeptical about 2.5 layer fabrics. "Was" being the key word.

The Tay, the Tay, the silvery Tay. It flows from Perth to Dundee every day :-P I really love microadventures. So does Gearpest Gus and Gus Sandeman from Haglofs does too.

We got to test out a load of great Haglofs kit on this trip which we shall blog about later. What follows is a [...]
