    What ever happened to the Phoenix Phreerunner? Used mine for years, and just lent it to a friend for the Saunders

    Isn't it a bit late for the Saunders, Brett?
    Or early for next years?

    Having never entered a MM, I'm asking this question from a position of total ignorance! Do they not allow bivvy bags? I have a "Mountain Range" Goretex with full diagonal zip (800g), it is brilliant. If I'm on the hill and unable to sleep in the van, then it is always the bivvi-bag. Have not used the tent for 8 years.
    Originally bought it to do a Scottish C2C for my 50th summer (birthday not until November) in 2000. 9 nights of bivvi & bothy; very memorable trip, always snug and dry with no condensation, despite downpours and white-outs.

    You folks are obviously much much fitter than me, to have all that energy left after day 1. I'm usually bu--ered by the time I've finished a full day out ~ and no, that's not from my team mate before you ask
