Top drawer. Must say I very much liked the look of this neck of the woods from Sgur Thuilm and Streap earlier this year. One for the diary! Oh, and welcome to the world of the the wild camp. Long-johns - that's waht you need to keep the cold out. I swear by mine. Very Steptoe-esque. My wife takes a rather dim view though! :lol:
