      <image:caption>I camped near Crowden Towers on the skyline route. The Alpkit Soloist was the tent of choice as it’s lightweight and surprisingly sturdy. I’ve since sold it on as it has a very small porch area which I find restrictive when you are tent bound in poor weather.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>We spent an age trying to find a level pitch. In the end we camped on a dry and flat Peat hag. This was the first night out in a newly acquired Terra Nova Southern Cross 1. Annoyingly our cat has since left claw holes in the inner tent!</image:caption>
