Whilst Jenny is leading a World Challenge expedition to the Tatras mountains in Poland, I'll be in Africa leading 15 students with 2 teachers from Chesham Grammar, also for World Challenge.
The month-long trip includes two treks, a project in a primary school and a safari. We camp nearly every night and carry our own gear on trek (no porters but we have to hire an armed guide in case of rogue elephants).

I lugged my kit up to Battersby Moor to see if it needs fine-tuning.
The tarp/inner combo is luxurious for solo camping and will provide shelter for group cooking in foul weather (no cooking in tent porches allowed).
I will be living off the Caldera Cone and will write a review when I get back.
I have been scouring Beyond Backpacking to remind me of Ray's wisdom, ultralight backpacking is not about the gear you buy but what you leave behind. Anyway haven't had a weigh-off yet but need to be sub 20kg including 30m rope.
