There is no label indication on the bag other than the RAB logo but if it was filled any less it would be useless.I seem to remember I bought one of the first releases of that bag so perhaps it is some kind of prototpe? As for the 81 year old frame I reckon it stood the test very well considering, but for the future I reckon I will be planning around B and Bs.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-645530880399755132021-06-20T15:18:36.975+01:002021-06-20T15:18:36.975+01:00A very nice account of your walk Conrad.

What a splendid taxi driver you had. So good to hear and also the camping night at the Adults only caravan site is worth remembering.<br />So, did the Octogenarian body cope well under the strain?AlanRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180571503542781921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-35099733623366436092021-06-20T14:46:54.544+01:002021-06-20T14:46:54.544+01:00Hi Ruth - good to hear of you keeping on walking e...Hi Ruth - good to hear of you keeping on walking even if it is not "up-north."<br /><br />The pack was too heavy and I'm glad it was easy walking.

Yes, setting ...Lovely account of your walk, Conrad. Yes, setting off on shorter walks, and on the flat, seems a good way of easing back into longer treks. (I’ve been walking around the Wash to try to get myself back up to Scotland!) And you were carrying a camping pack too - something that fills me with awe, as I find my little rucksack heavy enough. I do carry a torch sometimes, if I anticipate tunnels ahead. It takes courage to keep putting one foot in front of the other when you are walking blindly in the dark. Anyway, great to see you back on the trail xRuth Livingstonehttp://www.coastalwalker.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-88648525460885022632021-06-20T08:54:15.998+01:002021-06-20T08:54:15.998+01:00BC - Mon chapeau is a bit heavier these days since...BC - Mon chapeau is a bit heavier these days since I re-adopted the Tilley. I find it doesn't restrict my view as much and I am seeing more of the world about me. I am sloughed at failing with the Yorkshire idiom. I have just tried CHY TYAC with an online anagram generator with no success. I think we need a bit more out-of-box thinking between us.<br /><br />--------------<br /><br />Gayle - I too was anxious anticipating falling into a state of depression if I didn't get any offers. I have just remembered that I was offered water by a caravaner when I entered by the back door of my first night's camp site and I was enquiring about the location of Reception. As water was the best they could do I didn't really think that offer counted.Sir Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908756392825206914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365582190126322848.post-20111768502126939262021-06-19T20:46:55.415+01:002021-06-19T20:46:55.415+01:00When I read your report from Day 1 and learnt you ...When I read your report from Day 1 and learnt you were on a trip, I really hoped there would be a report of an unsolicited cup of tea on Day 2. You didn't disappoint! Equally pleased that you seem to have had a good trip. <br /><br />I can't view the photos properly on my phone, but will peruse them on my laptop when I have the opportunity.
