Duomid XL

-

So way back on the 28 Th June i placed an order with Ron at MLD,sadly this is wrong time of year to order,but while i was out this wknd it arrived


Im asking every one not to mention the horrid C word as i dont want them involved anymore than they are,if any one wants to know just message me 


It being a Cuben Duomid XL and an Inner,plus some spare pegs,just because i think there the best pegs out there for 80/90 % of the year








This is the Mld Duo xl inner ,i had asked Ron for a T zip and walls but sadly he said he was to busy to do custom work,im trying to find someone who might do it for me as we speak 


























This is my Oookworks inner 


Ive already had messages/emails and DM,s asking differnet questions so hoping these details will answer a few of them 



  1.  Duo xl no bag no guy lines on yet 493g,this includes an extra peg point i had Ron fit to the normaly closed panel                     
  2. I,ve cut 9 lengths of yellow cord at 24" each one weighs 3 g 
  3. Cuben Inner no bag 343g
  4. Inner W 48"  L 87"  H 52"
  5. Pole height 59" with edge to the floor 
  6. Ive ordered up some 2 mm cord as ive decided the 1.2mm stuff i bought will be too much of a faff to tidy up in winter 
  7. I plan to cut the corner guys at 60" and the mid panel ones at 40"
  8. Edit fully guyed outer is 549g that includes 3 1m panel guyines 4 1.5m corner guys and a 3m guyline following the main zip down, hat could also be attached to top loop and then pegged out .....guy line 2mm  at 3g per m









I was suprised just how well my Trailstar inner fit too 





Hope to be out on the hill with it soon 
Thanks for looking,Safe travels  Peter


So its had its first airing and i was asked to do a pitching vid to show the shelter,so here it is 


Heres a speeded up vid of me pitching the Duomid XL and the inner

We caught a touch of frost overnight and had heavy condensation,but what a start to the day it was ! Inversions galore  These are the mornings we soak up the view and quietness of a waking day  Jamie’s Trailstar with the first hill of the day Cruach Adrian 1046m looming up behind  Xmid 2 Shadowed by Ben More & Stob Binnein         Bit of drying time in the warm breeze before L.N.T and moving on  Looking North  Once on the summit of Cruach Ardrain we took the small and very steep path NE of it to collect a new Top for me,Stob Garbh.We continued East then lost most of our height,down to 430m to then start the slow pull up to the coll After many slugs of cold mountain water we left the sacks and went up Stob Bennein,fine views in all directions  The ridge Southwards  Back to the packs for more fluids and an energy boost,it was with slower limbs we slowly but steadily made our way up to Ben Mores lofty view point,my visit before had the ground and the sky all white  Crainlarich far bel

  The forcast was good with only a fresh wind to think about,Andy Beavers and myself had never met yet so he agreed to meet me and Jamie at the Carpark,Friday morning  Matt Holland had come over late Thursday so we aranged to meet somewhere on the ridge from Rosthwaite fell too Allan crags,it was a stunning day to be out  Also along on her first proper backpack trip was Maggie dog,who was very well behaved,even if she lacks Oscars loyalty,in walking partners One plan had been to camp on Great End summit again,but the wind would have made chatting hard work so we had a mooch about and found a nice shelf,near Allen cargs summit  The first shelf wasnt big enough for all of us so Jamie and Andy pitched there Duomids there,while me,Maggie and Matt went a little higher in my Scarp1 and Matts MLD Solomid  We had a nice sunset,but a full moon washed out the starry skies.Through the night the wind moved round some more,giving me and Matt some nice 30-45mph gusts,but Saturday started out stunnin

With my operation  date looming,i coupled together a last quick trip “ Up North ” too Scotland.I first did these hills back in the early 90s on some of my first winter backpacking trips,things were much warmer and greener on this visit    We drove up Thursday morning and left our car near Ben More farm and a very nice man,came in his taxi and dropped us of at the layby on the Loch Lomond road,pre-booked it made the walk much better trip,I highly recommend them Ian and his son Packs hoisted up we were soon heading off,as the day started to get much warmer (Temp above was in the sun,real temp was around 17-18c) Ben More and Stob Binnein were soon showing of there great height,being the biggest Munros in this area We drank and walked and sweated and walked some more,the skies at times looking like it might help us cool down We gained the “Twistin hill “ ridge with some fantastic views coming in from all directions of the compass,my plan had been to try and camp,some where South of An Cais
