Hartland Quay to Bude

[daveyboy]

Hi all,
I have recently upgraded all my solo camping gear with the aim of doing more walking on Dartmoor and the southwest coast path. I tried it all out last weekend when I walked the Hartland Quay to Bude section of the SW coast path.
Not many pics as I was concentrating on the walking and camping this time, I didnt even have a tripod!The sun position was making it hard work, casting very dark shadows and I didnt have time to hang about!
The walk was hard work, probably the most strenuous section of the path I have done. You can see from the pics how up and down the path is.

New Kit-Vango Tempest 200 2 man tent. Performed well and kept me dry even though it rained all night and froze early hours.
Vango self inflating camp mat-Very comfortable for its size, weight and price.Better than a standard camping mat by a long way
Trangia/Cutlery drainer/Zebra Billy stove-Very pleased with the way this worked.Thanks to everyone who has provided info on these stove setups etc
