No I don't. Cos I have a drip string at each end. The water that reaches the bottle ain't dirty. Its just rain water. 

You can slow the creeping damp even more if you have a metal ring or karabiner at each end of your hammock and run your string off that. 

 

I have never trusted Karabinas since one broke when I was a kid on an indoor wall. I know it's ludicrous but I won't use them for security.

A mate of mine here bought a concept rucksack, it can fit 80ltrs and weights about 300gram, tbh I was very impressed with it but I prefer the security of a heavier pack that can be used without worry of splits or catching and ripping on a bush. Plus, if you slip on scree a more durable rucksack is gonna save you

You'll feel even safer if you stay inside the Landy.

f**k that lol I'm stomping through virgin bush to get to places no cnut has been or will go

It's so illegal here you have to be smart about it and everything around it Plus you have to make sure you don't set the mountain range alight with a camp fire

Best thing ever made air tents mate. We were on a site in force 9 last year, half the tents on site destroyed and folks in there cars. Ours just moved with it. 

Also it's much easier with a leccy pump

Decathlon is a cnut for that

Walk in only for a camel back water bag, walk out with fishing gear, spear gun, flippers, a shirt and flip flops and then have to go back for the fuucking camel back

Glad we ain't got 1 down here

Buy a mix of foot and hand pumps and you've got a right good game

Rothbury's nice mate, I'm up there regularly, nice Riverside walk, and Simonside hills, and Cragside house with its gargantuan trees 

I sound like a feckin travel agent here lol, hope you enjoy it anyway

 

Thanks for that mate we was right near to Simonside Hills,lovely walk that was all that mauve heather stuff was in full bloom some really nice views along there.....Rothbury seemed like a nice little market town...then had a row with the ol woman in that Labyrinth thing at Cragside thought we was gonna need a rescue helicopter at one point what a nightmare .....apart from that had a nice pleasant peaceful time,nice area.....certainly beats York !....wouldnt go there again.

Anyway off to the Lake District end of the week Wilf reckons its good there 

[Nicepix 5,650]

York is too crowded and tacky. But, if you drive from there towards Malton and Pickering to Whitby, or take the lesser known roads via Castle Howard and Rosedale you'll some of the most beautiful moorland scenery in the UK. Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay, Runswick Bay and Staithes are worth visiting.
