Thank you! Yes, she's 3 weeks old and we are all doing well ❤️ Have a great time in Iceland. Where are you going?

Thanks Simon. Yes. Just waiting on the mainland for the baby to arrive!

Yes, though I think old Vango and new Vango are quite different beasts.

Well, it was actually just a reference to the review on one of your very old blog posts (from 2011, I think) that I saw. It was an excellent tent 🙂

...tent from aged 11 or so (in the early 2000s) up to c.2015. It had already had some heavy use as a sea kayaking tent before I inherited it, and I used it for about 5 months in South America as well as many shorter trips . It would have been a solid recommendation!

Oh, thanks so much Neil. Yes, hopefully she'll be on her way before *too* long.

2/2 Thank you so much to the people who made it possible, particularly those in the Small Isles themselves for hosting us for the research and answering so many questions.

Thank you. I hope it's useful to you. It's a general travel guide rather than hiking specific, but there's a lot of information in there.

Thankfully visits from the building inspector are rare in Port Ellen.

Yes, we're building an upwards extension to accommodate my sudden growth spurt.

Oh, thank you Simon. I'm quadruple that size already 😅

I look forward to reading the results of this new and exciting literary direction for you.

Yes, I saw that. I see two options here: you could either buy it and organise the competing championship, or you can buy it and sue rightmove for false advertising - perhaps recouping some of your costs to buy a boat/helicopter.

Being somewhat pedantic, Insh is not the host, although I'm sure it also has plenty of skimmable slate.
