Gear arriving


My Hilleberg Akto (tent) arrived today from George Fishers, I was beginning to worry a bit because I had nothing more other than the initial order confirmation. I haven't taken the tent out of its bag yet. Tonight would of been a good night to try it because it was a nice night but I had a bad headache from lack of sleep and food. So decided to eat something and have a sleep.

As well as the Akto, I had also ordered a platypus 1ltr and some Wayfarer meals to try. The meals feel really heavy (300 grams each). The 4 meals appear to weigh more than the tent, they may not but it feels like it.

On my way into the Middlesbrough office I popped into Millets to buy some gas for my stove but I didn't take enough notice and the gas I bought isn't screw in, its some other crap. Luckily it was only £3.30 because I had to take the seal off before I realised. I couldn't see it wasn't a screw in because the seal covered it. I had bought 2, so could take one back.
